I love words. Finding just the right words to elicit the desired response is an art form. The wrong words can screech like nails on a chalkboard or simply fizzle like an inept firework. One of the aspects of Twitter I have come to appreciate is the sharing of well-phrased quotations. Usually I appreciate the words and move on, but at times I am moved to re-tweet, favorite, and save for later. I occasionally wonder what a collection of these particular quotations would say about me. With that in mind, here are a few of the more recent Tweets that moved me to ponder and re-tweet:
- "Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership." - Ralph Marston
- “If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.” ― Woody Allen
- "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." ~ Mother Teresa
- "Don't run from a challenge. Instead run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet." -Nadia Comaneci
- "Keep your head up; you are so much better than you believe... I promise!" (can't find attribution)
- "Before people decide what they think of your message, they decide what they think of you. "
