A Manifesto
Posted: February 15, 2012 Filed under: Personal Updates 3 Comments »I don’t want to be defined by what I am against.
The world has become overrun with negative, polarizing and hyperbolic voices. Sometimes I was one of those voices. I’ve often prided (oops) myself throughout my life for being a “straight shooter.” I’m the type of person who says what he thinks, often without thinking. Oh, the irony. As I’ve gotten older I’ve tried to become more contemplative and empathetic. So, I thought it would be helpful to lay out a few ideas on how to accomplish this:
Think before speaking.
Stay silent when necessary.
Encourage the best in everyone.
Keep it simple.
You can help me out by also being an encouragement to everyone, everywhere, all the time.
Create. Do. Learn. Live. Like. Love.
Onward & Upward!
@Brian – Agreed! I added it in there. Great suggestion. Thanks!
Another L word to add: Learn. With the abundance of available knowledge, there’s no excuse not to… Always a student.
Good stuff…
