I love your push for us to make our own rules and refrain from trying to make everyone else follow them. I think it's important to success in life as well as in social media.

Brewer Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:32:51 +0000 http://bkmacdaddy.com/blog/?p=471#comment-810 I've seen how the collective anoints leaders, resulting in a groupthink with everyone agreeing with each other so much of the time. Makes it harder to stick with your own voice, especially if you don't like that collective flavor of Kool-aid. As you say, we need to be ourselves and make our own rules if necessary.

When I started on social media there were people telling me to do this and that.. but in the end you are so right.. No one should tell us what is right and what is wrong, we should do what we think is right for us and always have the best of others in mind. My very very dear friends Diana, Richard, Rob, Andrea and Arnt of Bitrebels have always taught me that sharing and caring and being "real" and authentic is the only thing one should keep in mind and one will never go wrong. Thank you Brian for sharing your thoughts and insights I do enjoy learning from you everyday! YOU ROCK!! Excellent post Brian!

This time you´ve got me beat! I can´t really "add" anything into this excellent, dare I call it Manifesto? Well said Sir! In an attempt to contribute I give you this quote: "Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood."

I like what you said about quality time being the great equalizer. It IS a level playing field as long as we do our best to make it so. Good to hang with you in the mornings too. Before the bell rings and we run off to our respective classrooms... Julia,

Otherwise I am just as guilty as the next person claiming to know the answers! :) I think ultimately most of us know somewhere inside us that the best we can offer to this society in formation is ourselves. I just hope to point it out and bring it to light for those that are unsure or insecure in that knowledge. You most definitely are bringing the true you to the party in all you do, and I am cheering you on. You go girl! Decotta,

Another one that you hit head on and with honesty! Have to say upfront: I love that you quoted Emily Post :-) That aside, I agree there are no gurus here and if someone thinks s/he is one, s/he's wrong. It's a live and learn game but spending *quality* time here is the great equalizer - and teacher. We're all looking for community in a world that's changing too fast for us to morally, spiritually and socially to keep up. Yup, just like highschool all over. Glad I found you to hang with in the mornings Brian :-) Great post, Brian. Another one that you hit head on and with honesty!
