“I’ve learned that people will
forget what you said, people
will forget what you did, but
people will never forget how
you made them feel.”
- Maya Angelou
School and fall sports are in full
swing. This also means you are
sharing your thoughts and
pictures about fellow
classmates, teachers,
principals and boys. I mean this
is the technology age where
our diaries are basically all the
social media sites we are part
of. Who doesn’t love
technology? We can share
some of our greatest moments
with the world, but
unfortunately we can also have
our most embarrassing
moments shared. Which in turn
can make us feel ashamed,
rejected and feeling like our
whole world is just crashing
down.
What can we do to be proactive
instead of reactive? How can
we be more technology
responsible? What if I told you
it was super easy? All you have
to do is THINK before you
speak, text or type. THINK
stands for is True, Helpful,
Important, Necessary, Kind? If
not then don’t speak it, text it or
type it. I promise you if you use
THINK while you are on social
media or texting that you will
see less drama and more
people will remember you for
the kindness that you showed
them.
“Change your thoughts and you
change your world.”
- Vincent Peake
You say well it’s too late. I am
already known for the things I
tweet. Really? It is never to late
to change. It is never too late to
THINK. It is never too late to
say you are sorry. Words are a
powerful tool. If we use them
correctly they can change the
world. That’s right you could
change the world. Don’t believe
me. Check out thinktoday.org/
blog and read about Elissa
McCracken and Randi
Sundquist. Both of these girls
experienced bullying and chose
to take that horrible experience
and become proactive because
of their dedication they have
changed and touched many
young girl’s lives across the
nation.
Here’s a challenge for you.
Make a poster with THINK on
it. Take a picture of yourself
and tweet it to @thinktodayorg
and we will retweet it. Then for
a week look at your picture and
really use THINK when you are
on social media.
Then share your
story with us and we
will share your story.
We want to spread
that word that THINK
helps life in a social
media world be
drama free and
inspiring! #THINK
