Life Lessons (in no particular order): #4 Think twice. Talk once.

So, this goes along with lesson #3 about how words can hurt. It seems we live in an increasingly mean, hostile, judgmental world – especially on social media.

Do people think they are invisible on social media? Feel emboldened? Say things they’d never say in person? Crazy, right?

So, before you fire off that pithy post or comment on social media or that snarky email when you are frustrated – think twice. Talk (communicate) once. Type that email or letter or response and then sit on it for awhile. Read it back to yourself before you send it. You’ll be glad you did.
