I’m stupid in more subjects than I am smart. It’s the curiosity to shed light on the former that tips weight toward the latter.

I hate to call out OWN, I mean no one has done it better than Oprah, that said this Tweet just embodies EVERYTHING that is wrong with the way Corporate America and most businesses and brands for that matter are handling Social sites, it is 2012, it has to STOP, has to. Am I wrong?

There’s gotta be something better than this 75 year old book!
Awareness is vital. Nay-sayers are bullshit.
No positive change ever came from not sharing a person’s/people’s suffering with a wider audience. And Facebook, as well as other social media, is the perfect place to make the world-at-large aware of suffering anywhere in the world.
Gandhi and King both knew that increased “awareness” about what they were suffering was paramount to their movements. They also brought prayer as a response to their situation. And the more that people were made aware, the more prays that could be made, among other help and support.
When some terrible stuff is happening to a woman in Egypt, her story should not be censored, blocked or ignored! Ya gotta get the word out! More awareness, more prayers, more support!
If we are to heal the wounds in our world, we must first be made aware of where the wounds are. Social media is a great platform for this. Only then can we send prayers, aid, hope and resources.
A guy told me this evening not to post bad news on Facebook about the woman in Egypt getting beat because he couldn’t do anything about it and it depressed him. Yes, a woman getting her head beat in from 3 Army guys in Egypt is definitely bad news. But it should NEVER be kept a secret because he doesn’t want to hear any bad news. He was saying, in effect, that nobody should ever her about her suffering because he, himself, couldn’t do anything to help. What about prayer, what about support, what about solidarity, what about shining the light of awareness on a wound that needs healing? What about other people who actually can do something?
A revolution is begun with a “sharing” of bad news and atrocities. Awareness is vital to winning support, prayers and political change.
Don’t listen to the nay-sayers! There’s a struggle to win and every person who is suffering needs help from as many people as possible, in the form of prayer, aid, hope and/or resources.

4. Be comfortable making something that people will hate.
No one will love your work unless it has an opinion– and with an opinion come those that disagree. The first person outside of our little circle that saw the work did not like it at all, perhaps even hated it. This is also how I knew that I had something that some people would fight for. http://inoveryourhead.net/how-to-do-the-best-work-of-your-life/
