The Little Brother Effect

March 19, 2009 by SOBCon Authors

Gary Vaynerchuk captures the essence of the New Media in this passionate video:

Good defeats evil (finally) because Little Brother is watching. All. The. Time.

[The Little Brother Efect: You are very likely to be recorded in the background of someone’s camera. Anywhere, anytime. And these recordings get posted to the internet for all to see.] The definition of “Privacy” will continue to evolve as the price of digital storage approaches zero and connection bandwidth becomes more ubiquitous. The convergence of these two trends will create the opportunity for millions of people to create their own “TV Networks”, narrow-casting their daily activities 24/7.

Jersey Todd, Vince Lombardi, and Collecting Quotes of Humanity

September 27, 2007 by Liz

I've been thinking . . .

Jersey Todd sent me this quote by the famed Vince Lombardi, a legend in American football coaching.

“Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent’s pressure, and the temporary failures. ”

That got me thinking about success, and then . . .

And then, it got me thinking about Jersey Todd and Vince Lombardi — and all of the men and women who are like them, which got me thinking about how alike we all are. You see, I’m guessing that most of us already know what Mr. Lombardi was saying.

Been-There-Done-That!

I’m thinking that’s the reason we collect quotes and send them to friends. Those words of wisdom we pull out to share for whatever reason are a way of saying, “Hey, look . . . see. We might choose other words. Our experience of them might look different, but the essence is that we’ve been there. . . . and so has he.

Inspiring isn’t it that a sentence one person said years ago would be kept and valued?Amazing to see how a sentence can be a fine thread that connects and translates our humanity.

We’re there inside the words we say. We already know that.
If we look closer, we’ll find ourselves inside the words that everyone is saying,
Words connect us as human beings.

Young children know this.

” “Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” –Christopher Robin to Pooh(A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh)

Would you add your own quote to the list?
