Earlier in April, I had this amazing opportunity to go to San Francisco for work. During this opportunity, I was able to see Hillary Clinton speak. My boss, who wanted a picture of her, couldn't get a good photo so she asked me to try. I was able to get a shot just slightly better than hers. So I thought what the heck, I'll post it on Fakebook.
Time out: At this point, I want to mention my intention to posting on FB was not political. I was so impressed in how intelligent, how relaxed, and how awesome a speaker Hillary was that any political view point was thrown out the window. Her team told the moderator that no question was off limits. During her speech, she answered some really hard questions gracefully.
Back to my post, I wasn't surprised about the response I received on FB. Everyone is always entitled to their opinion, but if we could all step back for one second and take into consideration the media. There is always a skew factor when the media reports stories and facts on a day-to-day basis. Most people know this. Over the years being in marketing, I've learned to question everything. A lot of facts are subjective in the media, in business, and in education. As a Marketer, we lie and we lie well. Not always, but a lot.
Again this is not a political post, you would be surprised what my actual opinions are. My objective to this post is to point out that we should all take a step back think about all viewpoints before making a snap judgement. Take this as a request to teach your children to question the answers and not to accept everything you hear or see in the media as fact. You will be wiser for it and so will your children. The ability to look at multiple viewpoints and perceptions can be extremely powerful.
