Six Word Memoirs
I discovered this site called Six Word Memoirs that is think is a great site and wonderful idea. They believe that "everyone has a story. Can you tell yours in six words?" Several books have been published targeted at various audiences. The first book was titled: Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser.
The idea is an interesting one. Take a topic and see if you can summarize your thoughts in only six words. For example, What is the best advice you have ever been given? Some of the responses include:
- Forget head, heart. Go with gut.
- Greatest things in life aren't things.
- When cookies are passed, take one.
- Life's a rummage sale. No returns.
- Love unlovely; they need it most.
- Moderation in all things (including moderation).
So I have decided every now and then I will ask whomever is reading my blog (Are there readers out there?) to submit responses to various topics. And I will start:
What is your best definition of leadership in six words?
My response: Learning to live your best life.
Now, what is your response? I would love to hear from you.
Happy holidays. I hope to hear from more of you in 2010. Thanks.
