It’s Friday and you know what that means. It means that I’m sharing with you articles that I’ve come across this week that made me stop and think. I hope you like this week’s offerings.
This week we have a rare double header. It’s from Eric over at BluePop13 – he’s really made me think hard this week 
First up is his Let’s Help Each Other article. This is a list-sharing article where you can give him your Top 10 blogs that you consider must-reads. This is a great way to share your favourite sites with people and discover some new sites that you should be reading. I have to admit seeing my site listed among so many wonderful sites gave me a little thrill. Definitely worth checking out to see what gems you are missing out on.
Eric’s also written an article called Penny Nickel Dime Quarter Dollar which fooled me into thinking that it’s about money. It’s not – just go and read it.
Next is Colin Wright from Exile Lifestyle who writes from a different perspective and always makes me think when I read his articles. This one is no different. He’s written an article called The Insufferably Viral Arrogance of the Middle Class that you shoud read. This nugget really made me think:
“Boom, the arrogance of the middle class. And largely it’s warranted. Despite all the problems with the Western World, the fact is that we really do have a massive middle class and because of this the vast majority of people are comfortable and confident enough to not worry about a whole lot beyond what impacts their immediate lifestyle. We’re pretty far up Maslow’s pyramid, and the view is great.” – Colin Wright
“We’re pretty far up Maslow’s pyramid, and the view is great” – that is so true. I loved this quote.
Zeenat Merchant-Syal guest-posted on Dragos Roua’s – Brillantly Better site and wowed me with the article called Successful Excellence. Go check it out and let me know if it made you think as much as it did me. Very insightful. I really liked reading the comments, too. Dragos’ readers are so intelligent.
Last, but not least, we have Jonathan over at Illuminated Mind who wrote this week about How To Live Two Lives In One. A very interesting article that I enjoyed reading. I think you will, too.
I’m opening up my Friday’s Links to you - what have you read this week that made you think? Leave me a comment with the site and article name and so that we can all check them out, too. Thanks for sharing.
As always, have a great weekend!

Wow, I’m honoured you mentioned me as one of the blogs to visit and especially the fact that it’s two you mentioned.
The money post was something very fun I did that I still am glad turned out the way it did. I just sat down and wrote out the title and then wrote out how it relates to all of this. Very cool stuff.
On another note I’m going to check out each of those other blogs you just mentioned as well and see what cool things they have to offer.
Thanks once again and some cool things I’ve read would have to be the great responses I’ve gotten from the money post which I still have to approve and reply to… Be get on that soon!
Eric´s last blog ..Real Or Robot
Hi Eric,
Of course I had to mention your articles as they really made me think this week.
Glad that you will be checking out the other blogs and I hope that you enjoy the articles. I really like highlighting other bloggers and the great posts they write and I also like people directing me to posts that they think I should take a look at.
Don’t leave your readers hanging – go and reply to them. After all, we know that you are not a ‘Blogger Behaving Badly’
Thanks,
Karen
