Bloggers use their gifts uniquely. It's really fun to catch other bloggers doing what they do well. Here's a few bloggers who display the eight ways of knowing and expressing ideas...Musical - Mark at Unconventional Blog, uses the Beatles' song Hey Jude, to stir our thinking. Mark senses that the best business people evoke mystery rather than those who leave nothing to the imagination. Hey Jude, according to Mark, "makes you want to hear it again and again and as soon as you get close to figuring it out, you realize it slips away. Because the Beatles figured you out. They want you guessing. They want you in the dark. They want you to wander in the luxury of mystery."
Do you stir your customers' imaginations?
Interpersonal - Cord Silverstein at Marketing Hipster asks a great question about MyBlogLog...Do Contacts Matter? Many wonder why the choices -- Contacts or Community? Cord says, "My priority is growing my community for this blog and joining other blog communities that interest me. So if I had to prioritize between having 300 contacts and 50 members in my community or the other way around, I would choose the more community members in a New York minute. Am I right here or is my thinking off?" I like the idea of community...Let Cord know your thoughts!
Intrapersonal and Logical-Mathematical Rachy Briggs at The Challenge of Life shows what the world would look like if it shrunk to a village of just 100 people. See how this village looks --it's amazing and will stir your thinking and actions, too.
Verbal-Linguistic Roberta Rosenberg at The Copywriting Maven asks a brilliant question about the way we share ideas in blogs, "Does Mini-Bite Information Delivery Cause Mini-Bite Thinking?" Roberta explains her concern, "I'm no Luddite, but I sometimes worry that a society that prefers to be spoon-fed its information in pre-digested little bites with pictures will lose the ability to wield a knife and fork when it's time to cut into the tougher, more complex issues. (And won't be able to appreciate my meaty metaphor because they'll stop at the smiley face picture :=)" She wrote a meaty post, chock full of excellent questions. What are your thoughts?
Naturalistic Are you inundated by snow, cold, less sunshine and cloudy days? Bob Galva at One Reader at a Time has a great suggestion. Bring a couple of flats of primroses to your workplace and see what happens. Flowers lift spirits, especially on a winter day. Thanks, Bob, for the suggestion, since it shows you tapping the wellspring of your naturalistic intelligence!
Bodily-Kinesthetic GL Hoffman at What Would Dad Say? urges us to "Make Our Employer Earn Our Work." GL offers savvy suggestions for doing just that. Good intentions go nowhere, but it is in actively living the ideas and suggestions that take us to the heights. What do you think?
Spatial Paul at 8 Wishes uses videos to "give encouragement to children with dyslexia. Paul Orfalea is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country, and he achieved all of this despite (or because of) his dyslexia. His story has given me a lot of inspiration for my 8 Wishes, and it was amazing to meet someone who is so much like me. Knowing all this gives me hope." The more folks who view the video, the more money will be donated to help similar children. Paul inspires me by using his spatial intelligence to benefit others.
Thanks, folks for using your gifts and talents so well! You lift the bar for all of us.
