What do you think about the shortening attention span of our society? Do you find that you struggle to get through articles once they reach a certain length, regardless of how interesting you find the topic? Are there writers that you find engaging, yet you still struggle to read their work because they simply take too long to get to the point? The reality is that as things continue to move along the path that they do, it’s only going to get worse. If we want to keep up with it, we need to learn to distill our writing down to meet with our readers’ expectations. Otherwise, we risk our content falling by the wayside.
How do you feel about anger? Do you just blow up at people, or have you learned to control it? Have you changed over the years, or do you still react like you did when you were younger? Learning to control our emotions is a critical part of being an adult, and once we can learn to do that we stand a much better chance of reaching the other goals in our lives. Anger can be a huge roadblock, but with a little practice and discipline we can overcome it.
How do you feel about change? Are you excited when it happens, or do you feel anxiety? What kinds of changes have you experienced that you thought were going to be negative, but turned out to have unexpected benefits? Learning to look at the future with a positive lens can help us make the transition from one phase of life to the next in a much easier way, and might be the difference between the change being bad or good. It is up to us to make it happen.
What do you think of this movement? Should D.C. be its own state, or should it be a distinct entity? What are the pros and cons of the idea? There are many arguments for and against, but we must think long and hard about making this change. The wrong choice could lead to serious problems, and we have enough of those already.
What do you think about the slippery slope? Is it a real thing, or a construct of people afraid of losing what they have? Have we seen real examples? If we ignore the past and continue down this road we're on, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves. We've been given the example of what not to do, and it is up to us to have the courage not to do it. What will you do to convince others to avoid the mistakes of our forefathers?
