If you’re not provocative in some way, how can you possibly stand out to inspire someone else? – Brian Solis

But don’t be afraid to divide opinion…

Don’t constantly talk about yourself. It’s 8 part others , 2 parts you. Otherwise you

just bore people

Never engage trolls or

argue with others

No-one wins

Don’t be one of them

Don’t be a robot

Always share great content and credit sources

Everybody loves asharer…
