social-media

An open Facebook page is simply a psychiatric dry erase board that screams, __ook at me. I am insecure. I need your reaction to what I am doing, but you__e not cool enough to be my friend. Therefore, I will just pray you see this because the approval of God is not all I need.

My commitment is to urge us all toward moderation and good will toward fellow citizens. If we can set aside unworthy emotions that deepen our political divide, concentrate on finding solutions to the problems our country and communities face, we can then work toward a brighter future with less rancor but firm in our purpose. Or, we can feed our primitive fight or flight impulse by lashing out in social media and then duck into our silos. If we do that, the unhealthy polarization of the time of Trump will get even worse.

Osborne paused. __here is... something else.__legg sighed.__hat?___our Wikipedia page.___hat? My-___t says you're Prime Minister now.___ell, it was news to me that I'm not, I can't-___as it one of your staff?__ilence fell heavily on the room. Clegg tilted his head to one side.__re you... what are you..._ he began.__'m asking because if it was, it could be... serious._ Another pause. This time, Clegg couldn't help but smile in disbelief.__re you going to accuse my staff of a constitutional coup for editing Wikipedia?

REAL trumps PERFECT... because REAL creates TRUST.

Am I a friend or a prospect? Imagine how much kinder life would be if people put as much effort into befriending others instead of trying to sell them something.

It's about "Moments," not Milestones.

If you are only focused on the Money... You risk completely overlooking the People.

In the last 10 years, we have seen a rise in selfishness: selfies, self-absorbed people, superficiality, self-degradation, apathy, and self-destruction. So I challenge all of you to take initiative to change this programming. Instead of celebrating the ego, let's flip the script and celebrate the heart. Let's put the ego and celebrity culture to sleep, and awaken the conscience. This is the battle we must all fight together to win back our humanity. To save our future and our children.

I wish I knew how to quit you, Tumblr.

We all have a responsibility with the words we post on the internet. If you wouldn't want your mother, daughter, sister or friend to read it, don't post it.

Speak with caution. Even if someone forgives harsh words you've spoken, they may be too hurt to ever forget them. Don't leave a legacy of pain and regret of things you never should have said.

Don't promote negativity online and expect people to treat you with positivity in person.

Be the girl you want your daughter to be. Be the girl you want your son to date. Be classy, be smart, be real, but most importantly be nice.

If you really want to dominate the competition and make big bucks, you__e got to be the best. Do that, be that, and no one will be able to touch you. With one exception. Someone with less passion and talent and poorer content can totally beat you if they__e willing to work longer and harder than you are. Hustle is it.

An external locus of identity is unhealthy and yet the very thing that social media encourages in those with low self-esteem.

The interesting thing about text is that, as a medium, it separates you from the person you are speaking with, so you can act differently from how you would in person or even on the phone.

I guess all the time I spend on social media has made me believe that love exists above the surface, that it__ supposed to be light all of the time.

The cure to eliminate fake news is that people stop reading 140-character tweets and start reading 600-page books.
