Charles Schultz Philosophy
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions.. Just read the message straight through, and you'll get the answer.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss India Contest.
4.. Name ten people who have won the Nobel Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do? Find it difficult?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not second-rate achievers.. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school to get best scores.
2.. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile to make what you are today.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and made you special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most wealthy ones, or the most award winners.
They are the ones who care for you, & always be with you without any selfish motive.

What's on your list of "reasons to say no"?
Seth's Blog: What's on your list?
http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2012/06/whats-on-your-list.html
We all have a list. Most of the things on it may in fact be legitimate reasons for no.

The fact is that it's not enough to be able to define oneself. One has to push the definition down people's throats. Keep repeating. Keep displaying. Keep advertising. Don't stop, repeat. Once you stop, people will start distorting their definition of you to suit their own fickle minds. You will be judged. You will be asked to prove that you are who you say you are. Grab attention. State facts. Gloat. Repeat.
You are not who you think you are. You are who you define yourself to be.

Three things revolutionized the Internet in a major way: social, mobile and local (or SoLoMo for short). The Web has gotten bigger (a lot of people use the mobile Internet not instead of, but along with more conventional options) and more diverse, with many new advertising opportunities available to digital marketers.

Was asked to explain social media marketing in one page, and this is what I came up with. Am I missing something?

I was in an interesting conversation with a couple of friends of mine, and the conversation got more interesting as the drinks started to flow. There was a lot of talk about how Facebook sucks, how Google+ just couldn't cut it, and on why someone's not on Twitter. As for me, I'm on all of them...and I use all of them in different ways. The bottom line .. You have to KNOW WHY you want to be on a social networking site, KNOW WHAT the social networking site does, and KNOW HOW to use the damn thing!
I use Facebook BECAUSE all my "friends" are on it. I like to share with them about what's going on in my little world, which they were once a part of. I don't add people to my "Facebook world" unless I know them well enough that I would want them to know about me.
I use Google+ because a lot of people who I find "interesting" use it to get share stuff that they find interesting. They "hangout", they "plus" their world to my Google searches and I am finding stuff that I think is more relevant than ever before. Yes I would buy that widget that someone I KNOW bought and found to be a good widget, why the eff not?
Social networking is all about "engaging" with people that you know, people you have heard about, people you want to hear about, and people you want to talk about, it's about PEOPLE! Doesn't matter if it's a website or a real world network named after an animal you've never seen (e.g. Elks), social networking feeds the basic human need to be "connected"!
How you want to "connect" depends on you. Facebook, Google+, Twitter, or whatchamacallit cannot tell you HOW and WHY to do it. That's why they SUCK!
They are just MEDIUMS. You and the world around you ARE the NETWORK. How SOCIAL you are and your network is depends on...take a wild guess...you and your network. The medium doesn't matter and shouldn't matter. It does what it's supposed to do...it SUCKS!
