The story is told of Steve Jobs entering a conference room and somebody starting some
small talk about the weekend and he replying, “Can we raise the tone of conversation
here?” Out of many eyeballs out there on the web there are those who assume what
you do is for show. Those following and quietly studying blogs like this, that, and
that one who don't wake up scanning the web for negativity to latch on to and
even, catastrophize; those who assume content online is all about/for them.
But the truth of the matter is that around the globe any given day, there's
a deeper and actionable conversation ongoing devoid of the inauthentic
& validation-dependent communication and mindset so rife. And after
nearly 15years of blogging, I've found there're many Vivi(s). Viviana
was only 16 years old when she creatively used a Java chat room
applet to get my attention. I was in a computer lab in college
minding my business. And writing from Uruguay long before
Facebook, Ning, Twitter or Skype, this beautiful girl or
Luna Azul ('bluemoon'), as she called herself, was on
a mission. Purpose-driven, she was reaching out for
positive ideas, values, meaning and keys that'd
unlock her full potential as a human being. She
was also convinced she wasn't the sum total
of her circumstances, stuck in Montevideo.
She wanted me to both be a friend and
mentor right then and there. And her
retort was swift and punchy when I
chickened out. “What? So you re-
ject me because I'm 16??” True.
That was my initial impulse.
But outliers don't take NO
for an answer. For them,
it's all about progression
and making deposits
into a development
bank account that
only makes them
ever more se-
cure within
their skins.
