The Media Attention Whores…

by biscuitinabasket on January 5, 2010

I loved this post from Owl Sparks, and just had to share it…. the original post can be found [here]

There are two ways to do things:

You can talk about the things you’re going to do, and then do them.

Or you can just do them.

Sadly, people seem to value more the former way of action.

The one that makes a big fuss about it.

The one that needs selfish justification.

The one that’s fake.

The problem is we encourage this type of behavior. We recognize the “talk-and-doers” more than the “just-doers.”

The moment we stop glorifying those that go “look at my good work!” and start recognizing just good work, the world will be a better place.

No wonder the best ones stay hidden. They choose anonymity over prostitution.
