Sit down my friend and get comfortable coz this will either delight or disgust you - depending of course on whether you have a positive outlook on life and want to make friends OR you have a negative outlook on life and want to ATTACK people over trivial matters. After you read this you will probably feel inspired to add a comment of your own.

I want to talk today about interacting with other people on social media websites. Principally I want to talk about the latest phenomenon, Twitter.

For the uninitiated, Twitter is an interactive site where people from all over the world can comment back and forth with each other 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But the comments, known as “Tweets,” are only allowed to be up 140 characters in length. So, you have to be concise.

SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON TWITTER:

I want to go on record as saying that I have met some of the most WONDERFUL people on Twitter. These people come from all over the world. They all have several things in common. They are positive, outgoing, happy, progressive, endearing and they want to make a difference in the lives of others.

Let me name a few of these people by using their Twitter ID’s. I’m sure they won’t mind. In no particular order other than those who I have Tweeted with most recently…

Hello again,

I did mention to Hilary Dickinson during the week that I would have something special to write about in my book review this week. You see, I know that Hilary is very passionate about teaching children literary and numeracy and financial skills because we ALL KNOW that the so-called “education system” in our respective countries is failing to educate our children to any accpetable standard at all these days.

Parents like Hilary should be commended for taking this stance and I hope that everyone visits Hilary’s blog to add their comments on what she is doing. And well done to her daughter (Lizzie “the Lizzard”) too for being so keen to learn from her mum. If only all kids would do the same. But… most of them seem destined to make the SAME nincompoop mistakes that their parents have taken half a lifetime to learn from and correct…

… anyway, where was I? Oh yeah! Book review. Sometimes I just get so side-tracked.

Well, I am sitting here with my copy of “The Richest Man in Babylon” written by George S Clason and wondering what I can possibly say about this WONDERFUL book to inspire you to go and purchase a copy and READ it. No, not just read it - STUDY it!

You see, like my previous book review on “Psycho Cybernetics” (Maxwell Maltz) - which you can read at: http://motivationselfesteem.com/talk/914/book-review-psycho-cybernetics-by-maxwell-maltz.htm - if you missed it, “The Richest Man in Babylon” is another of my TOP TEN motivation, inspiration and information books of all time. Yes! It is that darn good.
