What Your Facebook Friend Who Thinks You Share Too Much On Facebook Wants You To Know

This is what your Facebook friend, who thinks you're sharing too much on Facebook wants to tell you! - with Dr. Mark Goulston


In this conversation catalyst Dr. Mark Goulston give you something you've been wanting to say to one of your friends who is making a fool out of themselves on Facebook. Send it to them with an email or text that says, "I'm only doing this because I care about you."


Just as what goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas... what goes on the Internet, STAYS on the Internet. In a world where anybody is tantamount to nobody, all of us can be tempted to put up lots of "look at me" stuff to fleetingly become a somebody. The problem is that when we overdo that, it is more an expression of our need for attention than it is to share things with our friends to keep them up to date with our lives. And that need for attention just makes you look foolish.


"You are making an idiot out of yourself! You're being an exhibitionist! Every time you show these weird pictures, these pictures when you're drunk...and you think you're showing off and you're saying - "LOOK AT ME!", "LOOK AT ME!" And what happens is when people look at you they just think you're bring foolish! And I don't want to hurt your feelings, but i just saw a whole other volley of your pictures! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! It's not working for you. You're embarrassing yourself!"

Keeping Them Honest - Doing a CAT Scan on Political Candidates

Well it looks like political candidates are starting their engines as they set themselves up to race towards political office including of course the big prize... President of the United States. Already we are hearing stories of "flip flopping" and I for one find it disheartening. I am in a time in my life that unless I can come up with solutions, I don't want to use up the airspace with complaints. So here is goes. The Candidate Accountability Test Scan (CAT Scan). It's a work in progress and I invite you to join in refining it or even tearing it apart and replacing it with something better. But please, don't YOU stay part of the problem without becoming part of the solution. This CAT Scan is composed of the following questions to political candidates: 1. Constituency - if elected, what constituency (not party) will you be serving? 2. Wisdom - what do you conclude is most important, critical and urgent to that constituency? Please keep us posted and current on what you are discovering. 3. Judgment - how and why did you come to those conclusions and come to select those as the most important, critical and urgent matters concerning your constituency? 4. Integrity - going forward, in the event that you don't do those things that you have committed to in the time frame you have committed to, how should your constituency act with you to get you back on track? 5. Character - in the event that you run into people who don't agree with what you believe is most important, critical and urgent to your constituency how will you stand up to them? 6. Courage - in the event that people try to hurt those in your constituency, how will you stop them? The more confused or confusing a candidate's answers to this, the less they are really serving their constituency and the more they are governing according to what is the best interest of their party or special interests that donated funds to get them elected. What do you think?
