Age

Had an interesting week when it comes to the topic of age.

Met with a very bright up and coming marketing expert this past week. He was probably half my age, yet we seem to connect over a hour long meeting on several levels especially around the social media mega trend.

Went cycling on Saturday with some friends and some folks I hadn't met before. The age range of riders literally went from 25 to 65. There was a 20 something guy joined us after we had already riden 20K or so. He sort of looked at us with a "hmm wonder if i will end up waiting for these guys along the ride" stair. The 65 year old set the pace (30+ Kph avg) for most of the 50 Km ride. On a couple of the larger hills, he dropped us behind, then like a gentleman looked back and waited up. We appreciated it.

One can get old, or one can be young as they age.
I am looking seriously at the latter.

Age only matters if you let it.

Piling On - Dog piling - Late hits

I find it quite interesting how some social media participants "pile on".

Piling On: An illegal play where several players jump on the player with the ball after he's been tackled. Also Known As: dog piling, late hit.

There is no doubt that brands deserve the criticism they receive - most of the time.

When people pile on to criticize, when they have themselves not been affected nor even understand the issue at hand, it is far from genuine.

Just saying.
