All of us have certain words we’d rather not hear:
“Hi Dad, I’m using my one phone call…”
“I think it’s important that you get to the cardiologist’s office this afternoon…”
“Um, about that money you invested with Bernie Madoff….”
I’ve added the following:
“I gave him the url to your blog….”
I still believe that all of us who claim to be students of the digital world need to continue participate in the conversation in that world, but my blog itself certainly doesn’t inspire much confidence in my ongoing activity as a an active learner/teacher and citizen of the digital universe. Those of us who have participated long enough in this exercise called blogging know that there is an ebb and flow to it–a time to write and a time to refrain from writing. The secret is knowing the difference.
When you physically cringe when someone says, “I gave him the URL to your blog” it’s time to write again.
