The 25 Word Challenge, 2 for the Road

"Be the change you seek," said Gandhi;
how few heed him, how much we need them;
"lead, follow, or get out the way," I say.

The 25 Words of Work / Life Wisdom Writing Project asked for this post by July 19, I glanced at the calendar to confirm that today was indeed the 19th, and then looked at the clock and saw I had less than 3 hours. But I do love a challenge! Here's one more:

The Internet has community on the rise -
we easily form groups,
a world of information at our fingertips;
good thing, we have lots of problems.

Will you accept my invitation to put 25 words of advice or wisdom into a blog post? Here's how you might go about it.

1. Look for something you see too much or too little of.
2. Write a sentence about it.
3. Count the words you have written.
4. Edit the sentence until you have 25 words exactly. Notice how your idea changes as you edit and how your feelings change with each rewrite.
5. Add a picture if you can.
6. Post your 25 words on your blog by July 19th.
7. Link back to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section.
I don't want to miss yours when I compile all of them.

It will be my challenge to a creative way to connect all of the ideas together. In a giant "25 words of wisdom" blog post, featuring what you wrote.

Are you in? Surely you have 25 words to spare for this one.
