Thought Tweet #695

by Rick Baker
On Mar 15, 2013

Thought Tweet #695 I'd rather tweet than taste defeat. [Whatever you think, please don't blame #DanPink.]

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Just finished Dan Pink's new book, 'To Sell is Human', (2013).

In the book, Dan talked about the importance of rhyme in marketing...psychologists have proven people deem messages that rhyme to be more believable than messages that do not rhyme. Also, Dan talked about using social media, including Twitter. So, I am working on some rhyme-marketing messages.

Of course I agree To Sell Is Human!...I believe in Marketing!... and I sure want to keep up with Social Media!

So I decided to kill all the birds with one stone and start my marketing-rhyme adventure with 'rhyming tweets about tweets'.

Hence...I'd rather tweet than taste defeat.

And...

I'd rather tweet than feel the heat.

I'd rather tweet than be less sweet.

I'd rather tweet than forecast sleet.

I'd rather tweet than lose my seat.

I'd rather tweet than scratch my seat.

I'd rather tweet than pound the beat.

I'd rather tweet than walk the street.

I'd rather tweet than stub my feet.

I'd rather tweet than sand my feet.

I'd rather tweet than smell your feet.

I think I am getting the hang of this Dan...to sell is human...to rhyme is devine...

I'd rather tweet than cook snake meat.

I'd rather tweet than press a pleat.

I'd rather tweet than shovel peat.

I'd rather tweet than walk in sleet.

I'd rather tweet than iron a sheet.

I'd rather tweet than sink a fleet.

I'd rather tweet than bah or bleat.

I'd rather tweet than watch cows eat.

I'd rather tweet than stroke from heat.

I'd rather tweet than rub your feet.

Definitely feeling good about this new-age social marketing!

I'd rather tweet than give up wheat.

I'd rather tweet than chew a beet.

I'd rather tweet than be discrete.

I'd rather tweet than eat raw meat.

I'd rather tweet than press Delete...

[Oops]

Thought Tweet #694

Thought Tweet #694 We learn more when we teach others.
 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When others teach us, we learn; when we teach others, we learn; we learn more when we teach others.

Of course, all of this assumes we take teaching and learning seriously.
