A Proverb on Self-Promotion
Posted in Daily Meditation on 24. Jul, 2009
This is the age of self-promotion. Blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, communities, conferences. All for the sake of promoting one’s expertise. A trend I’ve noticed is the super popular blogger / tweeter with thousands of readers and followers, yet they can’t afford a car or a home.
Their level of influence is inflated beyond their success. Some of us prefer popularity and fame that we pursue it to the detriment of other areas of our lives. Proverbs addresses this very issue.
Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
