Twitter me this... How much money did you earn on four square yesterday?
Better yet, how many eyeballs have you seen in the last 7 days?
The answer to both those questions for most of us in the Iphone generation is a Big Fat ZERO.
Everywhere I look I see people all around me walking around like zombie drones with their heads down, and their fingers punching away at the newest smart phone, and android app.
It's getting to the point where people aren't even talking to each other anymore, and worse yet our kids are forgetting the lost of art of communication, as they are just texting each other instead of talking face to face. As parents I'm sure we see it (if we have more than one child) that even our kids who are in the (same house- Same rooms) are texting each other or facebooking each other instead of opening their mouths.
Don't get me wrong I love technology, and I use it everyday to enhance my life and my career.
The problem is that we are losing the human touch and the wonderful interaction that has made this world such an amazing place to live in.
Do you want to stand out?
Do you want others to think you are an absolute ROCK STAR?
Do you want to leave a legacy with those you meet?
I'm going to give you ONE WORD that will do all the above and much much more, plus I have a challenge for you..
The one word that will knock the socks off the next person you meet is........Drum roll...
Hello!!!
Yes, I know it sounds too good to be true, but yes...Hello.
I guarantee you that the next time you're in line at the grocery store and while everyone around you is texting away or playing words with friends if you just turn to the person next to you and say hello..... It will knock them out of their shoes.
Why?
No one is talking to each other anymore.
No one is taking any interest in the lives of others.
And the people who start to pay attention and talk to people are going to be the ones that will
be remembered.
Ask questions, get excited about meeting people.
But Shane, wont people think I'm weird??
Hell yes some will think your weird.....So what!!!
I've never met anyone who was over the top happy, or successful who wasn't a little weird.
Who cares if a few think your weird, as there will be some who will absolutely love you.
I challenge you to look people in the eyes, put down your phone and say hi and I promise you
your life will change and you will also change the lives of those around you.
Many Blessings ,
"Big" Shane Clevenger
