RE: Distorted Wisdom - A sure approach to burning out
agree to a degree, some people don't have the work ethic instilled by their parents. there are some people who are mentally incapable of posting, or stuck in a position where not posting means not eating. yes they do lousy posts. what can we do? encourage them to do better in messages and comments. show that we care, while asking them to do better.
i know what frustration is like when it seems everyone is against you and you are putting out the same as the guy who makes ten dollars on the same kind of post while you make nothing. not everyone is good at social networking. its' a learning process, and it sucks to be judged on it when we are supposed to be about building a better community.
the trick is to separate the people who want to do better but need help versus those who are here for a quick buck and dont want to learn.
I want to see effort, I guess that is.. and probably most people do. Its hard for me to feel inspired in supporting someone who shares copy/paste memes. But even if their posts are not my cup of tea, if I see effort, I'm more inclined to support the person.
totally agree. but effort is subjective depending on education, knowledge, access to tech, talent and experience. it's difficult to not judge and compare. its human nature.
i've heard opinion and argument on why I shouldn't judge the people who judge. I'm at the point where I just hold myself up to values I believe in and not care about peoples opinion. I'm trying to grow a thicker skin.
