Information vs. Communication

"The two words 'information' and 'communication' are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through." ~Sydney J. Harris

Do you think that you are a good communicator? Why? What most people call communication is no more than exchanging information, not communication. Do you see the difference? Let me explain...

Let's say you are at a networking event and you meet someone and you start talking about your job and what you do. They are nodding their head, and speaking at the right times and at the end of the conversation, you think that you were communicating...SORRY...all you were doing was giving information, not communicating!

Communicating is getting through, being understood and remembered! Are you memorable? Most people aren't. Why? Because they've been programmed to be just like everybody else...Boring...Penguins...all together...staying safe with the group.

So, who are you? No, not what do you do, but who are you? When you are able to answer that question and communicate it, you will start to stand out and be unique. Be a first rate version of yourself rather than a second rate version of someone else.

What Are You Living For?

"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it."~Henry David Thoreau

What are you paying for? What are you exchanging your life for? Why? Is it worth it, or do you need to re-examine it?

You're paying a price for everything you do. Is it worth it or are you really wasting your life away? We don't realize that exchange is happening daily, hourly, by the minute.

Emerson said "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." Are you exchanging your life for something without enthusiasm? How's that working? Is it getting you where you want to go? Is it even moving you in the right direction?

"No thought lives in your mind rent-free." What are you paying to think the thoughts that you are thinking? Ever thought about that???

"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it."
