Solid advice

My oldest brother, Mark, just left after a quick visit to see his little sis en-route back to London from Miami.  Thank god I have family to keep my on the straight and narrow and keep my feet on the ground. 

He served up lots of solid advice along with some good old fashioned giggles, including:

1.  Give what every you have decided to do your full attention, half measures don’t cut it.

2.  Become an eternal optimist and you won’t just think you are better off, you will be.

3. Ditch Facebook and similar crap and get on with making it happen. (ouch that hurt!).  Nothing replaces one on one face to face catch up with REAL friends.

4. Get focused on having some self worth in achievement.

5. Better to fail at something and learn from it, than do nothing at all.

All I could offer in return was a few packets of emergen-c immune boosters and some collidal silver.

im going to make my FB status "people are more interesting than keyboards"!!

my brother actually said worse than that ..." F. Book and similar sites are a mind and time polluting distraction that preys on those that have issues and deludes them into thinking it in some way adds a value to life, it does not".

i do like that it reconnects you with old friends 'though....even if they do"have issues";)

Although I think highly of your brother, I do think that FB is of this time and an important tool to market, connect, promote, reach out, etc. Now, DON'T START A FARM VILLE ACCOUNT or do those stupid tests, but a daily 5 minute check in is not harmful. I have seriously limited my time on FB to 5 minutes a day and it is good!

By the way, I bet the collidal silver was a recommendation he never got before!!
