Easiest way to avoid criticism: Do nothing

“If you don’t want to be criticized… say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.” – Elbert Hubbard.

Imagine my surprise when a hottake was seen 300,000 times…. about 15x the usual readership – and over a fairly tongue in cheek remark about “evening email strategies.” Who knew it was such a hot topic??

Of all the posted comments: the most frequent seemed to be “turn off your notifications” (aka- I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing). Maybe it’s just me but that’s like saying- if you don’t want to get hit by a speeding car, stay the hell off the road. True, but…. I digress.

Thank you for caring, sharing and posting. I’m glad the discussion was had. The biggest takeaway for me was “man- it must be hard to be a politician these days.” No matter what you think, say or do- half of the people will disagree and want to let you know about it. But- discussion and at least “considering” other’s points of view is how we advance as a society. So keep the comments coming: many lives were lost fighting for the freedom to speak, assemble and be the best we can be.

Happy Memorial Day.
