A Lesson in Context

Yes, context, that's not a typo. I know on Wealthy Affiliate we often talk about content, but now I'm talking about context.

Not necessarily in your blogs but just in everyday life.

Yesterday I read a short piece in Reader's Digest called "Idioms for the Indecisive". Even though the point was just to be funny, it really made me think.

It went like this:

" Out of sight, out of mind ...but absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The pen is mightier than the sword ...but actions speak louder than words.

What you see is what you get ...but don't judge a book by its cover.

Birds of a feather flock together ...but opposites attract.

Many hands make light work ...but too many cooks spoil the broth. "


Clearly the lesson here is: context is everything.

I'll make sure to think about that the next time I try to hold someone to their words.

Hi, very revealing. Irv.

Everything in stories in ads and investment!

Interesting and amusing. Thanks.

Cool :)

Thanks, for sharing.

It was pretty funny, thanks.

That is the thing I tell everyone who asks be about doing anything! Content is king and the king MUST have nice clothes. This , of course, not only means everything having a place and everything being in that place, but also everything has a reason for being in THAT place.

When you are informing, educating, promoting and convincing, this is critical.
