BeBee Classics

There are some BeBee articles I regard as Classics. These posts go back some time and it might be that many have not read it. They all left an impression on me. Some impart knowledge, some are evocative, some are fun. All are to my mind unique and original. Take your time and read one or two. No wait, take your time and read it all!

John White wrote of his time in Spain when he was young. Hear his story and heed his lessons.

The Tales of Juan Blanco - The Beginning

Dean Owen composed this article on street musicians. Read, listen and enjoy. This is a gem.

Forever Grateful Forever Music

Deb Helfrich writes about the downward search for nuance. Fascinating and well written.

The Downward Search for Nuance

Pascal Derrien has a rant on conspicuous consumption. Be seen to consume this one :)

What is the Price Tag Again

Paul Walters writes in his humorous and self-deprecating way about his experience of blogging.

Blogger Me Somebody Read My Post

Ken Boddie writes beautifully about his daughter's passion for running and his love for her.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

Fatima Williams tells about thirty (wise) lessons life has taught her.

Thirty Lessons Life Taught Me

Kevin Pashuk in a witty post on how not to fail at writing on beBee. A must read for a good write.

How Not to Fail at Writing on BeBee

Joel Anderson tells about his life experience of the African tradition of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu - I Am Because We Are

Cory Galbraith gives a remarkable account of Hedy Lemarr, Hollywood actress and inventor.

How To Attract Opportunities From the Inventor Who Could Act

Don Kerr asks if books can change the direction of your life. Can it? Read on.

Can Books Change the Direction of Your Life

Ian Weinberg, a neurosurgeon, explains neuroplasticity in his very first post on beBee.

Challenging Limiting Beliefs

BeBee the Beginning

These posts are but some classics I recall from the earlier days on BeBee.

Enjoy the reading.

Ken Boddie Yes, the BeBee group has changed since we both first joined - but I still enjoy the community.

Since this was written (almost a year ago) I note that quite a few bloggers on your list, Gert, and also some of the commenters below, are no longer active on beBee. Perhaps it's just me, but it seems that beBee blogging, and the interactions that ensued, were more enjoyable back then.

Humans have the right of choice my friend Gert Scholtz isn't a personal one as much as it is an issue that we need to understand. SOmetimes, I tag people to a discussion not because of a personal interest as much as it is in the domain of interests of the people I tag. Somebody might question my neglecting tagging them. My response is simply I didn't feel the relevance of the comments (or buzzes) for them. So, I never question why I am included or not. If not, then I am depriving the author of the right to choose. I do appreciate your response; however, I have never questioned your choices. You are an integrated human and I trust your choices fully.

Joel Anderson I am heartened that you found these posts through my post because as you say it is a "reflection of the quality and steady stream of great content by so many exceptionally and extraordinarily smart contributors." And of course this is only a small selection, there is so much more from these and other talented contributors. Thank you for your kind comments Joel.

Ali Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee Thank you for your comments Ali, I value your time and words very much. As I mention to Debasish, I intend to expand the post in future. My only dilemma is that if I try to select classics coming from your pen - I would probably not be able to choose and I would end up doing a dedicated post on your writing! I appreciate your always respectful and dignified presence on beBee.

debasish majumder Thank you for your comment and share Debasish, and I agree with you. My intention is to expand this post, including older post classics from yourself, Ali Anani and Sara Jacobovici and others, and share it again in future. I am glad you enjoyed the read!

Ali Anani

Thank you dear debasish majumder. I read most of the buzzes that you highlighted and they are worthy. You left out a classical buzz written by you. Great selections indeed. Debasish- Gert is being honest and he included the buzzes that are worthy and I fully understand his choices. For me, the real value is that Gert included truly worthy buzzes.

Gert Scholtz Thanks again for a great list. I don't know how I missed these when they first came out but I am truly grateful that you took the time to repost them. Not sure if it is just a matter of my inability to organize and manage my time, or just the sheer volume of great writers and posts on this site that just seem to fuel my intermittent ability to see them all. Maybe it is more of my sporadic and patchy checking in and off the net, my ADD, or some kind of mystical nuance with my IT systems but it was personally a tad disheartening to see that I had missed so many on your list. Disheartening not because of anything that beBee is doing, rather that I missed them in the first place. I do, however, think it is a reflection of the quality and steady stream of great content by so many exceptionally and extraordinarily smart contributors. Regardless of my apparent reading limitations, thank you again. Good stuff all. And for all of you on the list--Yes, you all Rock!

Thanks a million for the mention again, Gert. As usual, you are quick to praise and publicise the works of others, but slow to fly your own flag. So here are a few of my favourite Gert Scholtz posts: https://www.bebee.com/producer/@gert-scholtz/like-reading-a-book https://www.bebee.com/producer/@gert-scholtz/the-bushmen-of-africa https://www.bebee.com/producer/@gert-scholtz/the-wonky-physicist

Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee The article on how you and Juan started beBee is one I think every Bee should read. It is a great to read about your entrepreneurial journey. Fantastic to see it more and more successful!

Very creative Gert Scholtz. I missed Dean's buzz so I'm glad you reposted links to these writers! You're a gem, has anyone told you that?

Kevin Pashuk

Gert,. You've highlighted some great posts (with one exception that I'll count as a weak moment for you). Seriously, I'm thrilled at the engagement here on beBee and the truly fine writers that are represented in the hives. Thank you.

Hey Gert Scholtz my friend. I'd very much like to add this article of your to the list. One of your early ones. It was this one that had me hooked, and now we have a bigger audience, it's a good time to revive it. https://www.bebee.com/producer/@gert-scholtz/i-libertine-the-hoax-of-hoaxes
