Everyone believes that you can be successful by making mistakes and chasing your dreams. But what holds us back from actually acting on those ideas and chasing our dreams is the deflater discussed in this clip. You can’t tell me that you haven’t had an “ A-ha!” moment where you thought of the next Facebook or YouTube. Take a look and be the judge.Įveryone has an idea. People had mixed emotions about the campaign, some claimed it was insulting while others claimed it to be inspiring. Earlier this year, an advertising campaign for Diesel spread over the internet, retweeted from person to person, claiming that it was better to be stupid than to be smart. One of the most powerful words in the human dictionary is “stupid.” When someone calls you stupid you have no choice but to take it personal. We are in a time where words matter and if you don’t use them carefully you can do some damage. We have to be careful how our punctuation looks in a text message, e-mail, even a tweet.

As marketers in a technology driven world, our words are more powerful than ever. Words are powerful things and when they praise us up we feel good and when they criticize us we feel like crap. Even some the most recognizable coldhearted people, have been known to shiver when an insult is thrown their way.

“Sticks and Stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.” Seriously? Whoever can honestly say this is true, has some the ego of Goliath.
