The Bright-Side of the Web: Tenzin Palmo

In the one minute excerpt below from the film Cave in the Snow, Tenzin Palmo, a Tibetan Buddhist nun, discusses how she chose which road to take: the easy road or the hard road.

The advice she received can be used by all who are wrestling to smooth the bumps in their own journey to the brighter-side – which is not always an easy path.

The Bright-Side Of The Web: Danielle LaPorte

It is hard to describe Danielle LaPorte but these words come to mind: vivacious, inspirational, cut-to-the-chase, motivational, energetic, Canadian…and the list goes on, and on, and on.

I do not know Danielle personally and only discovered her a few months ago through some random kismet connection through another site. Don’t ya love those! I immediately subscribed to her site and created a folder in my email system to save every post I received.  (Her site is one of my links in Positive Websites I Like →)

Although all of her posts are thought provoking, I have selected this post as this week’s Bright-Side of the Web. Enjoy!

From celebration to devastation, who can you call at 2 a.m.?

Who would you call?

The Bright-Side of the Web: Rhonda Lowry

Fridays will be “Bright-Side of the Web” days when I will share some positive items that I have encountered on the web.

For today’s topic, as I am entering into this new (to me) and unfamiliar (to me) world of blogging, I question the value of this venue.

Who will read it? What affect, if any, will it have on any one person?

I came across the following video on TedxTalks by Rhonda Lowry explaining her perception of the networked society.  I found her insight intriguing and uplifting.

I’d love to hear about your perception of virtual communication and/or the compartments in which you have put yourself.  Leave a comment below.
