The antisocial web

2009 March 28 2009

On the Web before we know, only creating content, two kinds of people who knew the program a website or those who had enough money to pay someone to do them. So to find some information that will help us in search engines, we had to be lucky that someone knows the subject and also have an idea how to make a website. Little by little, people who knew about many things, but I had no idea how to share, was having more tools to do so. With this style of tools, he was the leap of knowledge, communication and community.
Knowledge and communication (although this is very frequent in the post), if they want the other day we talked, so if I worry about are the negative implications of the effects of community generated.
I have seen several times in the focus of the discussion, whether in social networks of contacts puts them as friends, followers, contacts or whatever name. That then begs the question of whether those listed are really friends or not. I think that put the name to put each one in your imagination knows where the relationship and gives up no where. At most a social network enhances the creation of friends, and let us see some interests in common, which we will facilitate the identification with many more people, new groups created randomly.
Anyway, the point is that the social web allows me to open talks A LOT, meet people, but not everything is rosy. As we add someone as a friend, are also those we do not add us to erase or block us! Then we have the distance that a person, feeling rejected or not value us makes us very badly!
I will say this is very debatable, but I think it makes you feel richer a man is social wealth. The silver without social connotations, has no meaning. Winning a football game is not valuable to absolutely nobody, has no meaning. Everything all at one time has a social purpose. Because we are social beings, but we would rock!
The web as a medium, has multiplied about 1000 times the communication possibilities to what was by traditional means. So when connected with a lot of people but, the chances of being "rejected" also grow, creating a social poverty in the user very hard (obviously depends on the value that will generate the contact). And while it is very nice to have so many friends, talk about many things, we must handle with extreme caution the negative effects.
I think that being ignored, being a social being, you feel less human, because your basic function, generating meaning is not being fulfilled. So we must be very careful with the image we show and we ended up generating. Any mail, tweet or word that is not answered, has a much greater negative implications than previously thought. In the blogs is kind of weird, because there is still a practical tool that allows us to see if we respoden or not, we go back to look, or by mail susbcribirnos, which is a bit tedious.
I have not really a recommendation to minimize or cancel this effect generated, but it seems more important to keep this in mind. I think to a denial or rejection, we must admit we were not necessarily according to the INTERESTED interesting that person, and therefore we must offer something that will generate greater sense particularly, or else pass it to who, if indicated. In turn I think you should answer as many emails as possible, and if we do not respond try to understand that we are not yet physically prepared to answer everything you send us, maybe in the future if, not a bad idea to start working in that :)
Well I want to hear your opinion, according to the situations experienced by everyone, is going to be able to bring together a lot and maybe we can think of this topic.
Thank you very much.



Live fully

2009 1 February 2009


Well I come to bring what for me was a kind of "solution". It was something internally flourished after a very tragic moment that helped me find some that I think we all (or at least I look).

It was a very ugly accident dies for the father of my best childhood friend and godfather to my brother, Gerald. Was touching 50, had besides a son of my old (Leo), a younger daughter of 16 (Cynthia) and a small unruly 2 year (Uriel). My dad wakes me with the news and I really do not understand anything, I went to that house where I spent most of my childhood, not knowing what to say, I had no words. When it was full of people and was surrounded by all my childhood memories. Then I realized that while it was very ugly what had happened, Gerardo can not be criticized anything, because he lived a great life, as lived in full time. Always felt good doing the things he did, such as your house, which the reformed at least 500 times, with joy, each brick. When we went on vacation does not stop a second, always happy, always happy, everything he did he liked!

After these thoughts, take the courage to go talk to the family and tell them the same thing I think. That although he is not more, left us all the recipe of how to be happy being full.

This reflection took a few weeks inside me that although I felt very bad about the physical absence, I felt rewarded for always see something wrong, he could then leave such a good thing to help me much. Was overcoming the biggest obstacle to live life, which is the famous fear of death. It is about something more happens to me when squeezed or publish button before, s and that most of my life lived in fullness and people who know me know that too. Being happy and communicating happiness to others.

More timely now explaining what I consider to full, I say that does not mean running to jump in parachute, or know the 7 wonders of the world. The fullness we can have while lying quietly in our beds sleeping or watching a video on youtube! If I go to bed with full awareness that I really want to sleep and I will enjoy the pleasure of rest (many are lucky to have her hand to the person who said that they loved more than anything in the world and others with all his bed to enjoy!) I assure you I will feel much more full and happy, thinking that I lie, I'm going to sleep very little, I'll be tired the next day that I have 500,000 trouble. A person who live fully, has an answer for everything. If you think you sleep enough, and acostate and enjoy it. If you enjoy your night and you know you will feel fulfilled in everything you do during the day (like going to work, the great bogeyman of all) I promise you will not to be tired, and if you follow so tired and all, I assure you the next time you sleep, you sleep more fully! If you think that the next day when you go to work, you'll have much trouble, I tell you that up to another day when you have to get up and you come across this problem, you can not do anything! In the case that if something can be done for, find the solution, such as putting together a strategy and then goes to sleep fully.

After death, I think one of the great bogeyman of life of most people (which is on the list of many reproaches upon) is work. Because the work has to be almost number one on this list? (las cuales quizas antes desperdiciabamos y ahora ya aprendimos a aprovecharlas), despues entre comidas tenemos 3 hs mas, viaje promedio calculemos 2hs mas por dia y le sumamos las famosas 8hs de trabajo, nos da un total de 21hs . If 24 hours, sleep 8 (which perhaps before desperdiciabamos and now learned to take advantage), after 3 hours between meals have more, travel more 2hs calculate average per day and we add the famous work 8am, gives us a total of 21h. So far we quedarian 3 hours of freedom to do "whatever we want" and "be happy". Then we are smart, we approach ( ;) ), We can not spend every day 8am to what we think is the worst of the earth. And so I have not expect to work in google, or be rock star, because it is not the solution for anyone. Actually I've heard people with dream jobs for all, with a lot of money, not be happy doing what he does. If you are full doing what they do, I promise that may be driving a nail with it can bring happiness to win a grand slam.'s helpful to feel full doing anything is knowing that we maybe a goal or something that gives us meaning. If I work 14 hours per day, that my daughter is happy, but it turns out that my daughter is happy being with me makes no sense, this style of thing is going to frustrate us. So if our true and absolute goal is to be with our daughter (I have children, obviously is an example) we get a job from home where we can share with her. If our goal other than to see our family, shares in other things, that our work makes sense to each of the things which we do. Up to a boy of 3 years, if we asked him know that makes no sense to buy a Ferrari if your job because you hold a heart attack or not?

My recommendation is to seek happiness, but that is a major goal as if the long term. Instead every day looking for the tool or process to get there, it feels full in everything we do.

Try to do this together, to help others. The easiest way to get a goal, hand in hand with the goalkeeper, is giving it to the next!. By helping the success of the next door, we all win!

Well, I leave you, from now on fully enjoying each moment 100%. If they think it makes sense and for many others this may be a "solution", I ask you to convey this idea, my idea is to help as many pesonas possible and this I think we would do well at all.

In turn, I hope your ideas, rebuttals, his thoughts, to help each other, to enjoy more each time.

Thanks

Yes, the post looks almost like a book, but hey let's say you just need the formality of paper and note that you have read the essence of what I think without so many words that adorn and justify the use of leaves : P
