Ask HN: Have you read any blog posts/articles that completely changed your life?

[era86]

I understand that many of us read books or watch movies that have such a profound effect on our lives. I was wondering if shorter, more-focused publications do the same. Have any short reads such as blog posts, news articles, or even Twitter updates changed your life in any profound way?

I'm interested to see responses. My guess is that most HNers are simply too pragmatic to allow blogs & articles to change their lives. Prove me wrong though!
