There’s Still Lots of Time http://www.rajdash.com/seth-godin-gets-it-wrong-theres-still-lots-of-time/ http://www.rajdash.com/seth-godin-gets-it-wrong-theres-still-lots-of-time/#comments Mon, 31 Dec 2007 19:30:53 +0000 Raj Dash http://www.rajdash.com/seth-godin-gets-it-wrong-theres-still-lots-of-time/ <tirade>This post is just something I couldn’t resist writing, and sort of dates back to the whole “when does the millenium start kind of thing.” Marketing expert and popular author/ blogger Seth Godin has a post called Only Two Years Left.

It scared the heck out of me, thinking I’d lost a year for all my plans to move to Toronto, get into film school, and make movies. It just goes to show that even experts like Seth can get it wrong: there are three years left in this decade, not two. Once again, there WAS NO YEAR ZERO. This decade (and this millenium) started in 2001, not 2000. So we are finishing the seventh year of this first decade of this third millenium. And since a decade has ten years, there are three years left: 2008, 2009, 2010 – after which time I’m hoping to be a working screenwriter, director and/or producer. Don’t scare me like that!

And now back to your regularly unscheduled blog. Happy New Year.</tirade>
