Inside Facebook: the Facebook Book

Frankly, I write a lot of crap. Even when I am at my best. Almost never is every paragraph was important to me. Every reader, including you, needs something different from me in this book, so every piece can’t apply to everyone. So, don’t waste your time, and skip the crap. And forgive me, for sometimes writing for someone other than you. Did you skip this paragraph? Good. Don’t skip the next one.

There is an essential inverse to this rule. Attend carefully to the Gems. I’ve been told there are some in here, but more to the point, they are in many of the pages you read elsewhere. When you notice something that speaks to you, grab it, and integrate it into your life. Don’t just keep it. Use it.

I’m building a list of powerful quotations for myself, so that I have them near me when I need them. Then I review it when I feel I’m missing something in my morning meditation.

For instance, “An eye for an eye makes everyone blind” from Gandhi, is ever presently useful. But do I remember it when I’m annoyed? “I can do anything” is a great mantra, but how do I pull it to the front of my mind, say when I’ve just really, really messed something up.
