Words & Life
Character, Decency, Empathy, Kindness
While reading a recent post on CNN.com by Bob Greene, How words can last a lifetime, I took a moment to pause and let the message resonate. To me, his thoughts spoke to things that we currently lack in our culture – character, decency, empathy, and kindness.
The Sadness of Online Conversations
As we hurl ourselves toward the future with reckless abandon, breaking all the rules of decency and tact when it comes to social interactions, few of us in the digital and social media marketing space realize what we are missing. Online conversations are clipped and blunt, brevity and minimalism is applauded, and less face-to-face contact is preferred.
What is Your Mark on Life?
My hope and challenge is to express and convey my thoughts with careful thought and measured response. Convey to people only what they would be interested in hearing, see Mark Cuban’s post, Who Cares What People Write?. Finally, to treat others with respect and realize that the mark you make on life, is directly related to your character and how you own up to your mistakes.
Publish with Care
Words do still possess the power to move mountains. Let us not abuse them for the sake of publishing our views on the web.
