Are social Networks our friends when it comes to motivation?

My last blog was about the power of spoken words through our favourite radio programmes, books and motivational speakers. This blog is about how I personally use my social networks namely facebook and twitter; I believe that as people we have different values because what is good to me may not be good to you. I use social networks to retweet motivational quotes from the people that I follow on http://twitter.com//@unclerush. Some people use social networks as a platform to advertise their bodies to their friends on facebook of followers on twitter, I also use social networks to stay motivated by liking motivational pages on facebook and following motivational Quotes from David Ambrose and share words like ‘’ if you have the will to win, you have achieved half of your success, if you don’t, you have achieved half of your failures’’ this shows  the power of words but at the same time this words can also be regarded discouraging to some people that use social networks for different reasons.  
Some of my friends on facebook have different perspective when it comes to the ultimate power of motivation, because they choose to go for discouraging words and not the encouraging words, sometimes you might tell yourself that you are encouraging people by posting encouraging words of wisdom to keep the sense of togetherness amongst them and only to find that you actually discouraging them. We are living in a 140 character world where what you say immediately go to the ‘’twittersphere’’ some people not only expect opputunity to knock, they expect it to beat down on the floor.

  9. I definitely think social networks are our friends when it comes to motivation. For instance there are facebook pages that are influencial in a positive way for instance the Brian Tracy facebook page, where by he posts positive quotes or the Bob Proctor facebook page. So yah they are motivational and not only these two pages but theres also a whole lot more.
