Just this morning, I was able to thank Dish Network for working with me to solve the captioning issues with my TV. It is a scary world on the 'net because anyone can say anything anywhere at any time. I like to think that the internet is actually a great way to have your character shine through and good reputations will always prevail.

However, those of us that have this awareness have a responsibility to practice it. For instance, when I have a good experience with a company or with someone, I blog about it or tweet about it. I tend not to directly talk about the bad experience by mentioning names, etc. I just mention experiences that were negative for me and why it was so. Responsibility + Freedom = Effective Leadership. Applying restraint and not abusing your freedom is what makes you have character that draws others and allows you to influence them. It is so important that we understand our impact on others. A recent study found that happiness spreads to three degrees of separation. So when we spread good news, it does more than just promote that business or person. What we are actually doing is bringing more happiness in the community which in turn has a financial benefit. So important to understand how powerful each of us are!
