How many times have you asked Google a question about a day-to-day problem and received a great answer?
How many times have you relied on Tripadvisor reviews when planning a holiday?
How many times have you found an answer to an excel query or a computer problem on forums online?
Now, let’s flip it around – how many times have you added to the conversation and shared your experiences so they benefit others?
The internet is a wonderful source of value because many take time out to share their experiences and add value to all the others in the process. So, the next time you find yourself “taking” value from the internet, do remember to “give” too.
Our contribution does make a difference. And it’s the best way to give thanks to all those good samaritans whose advice we’ve found useful. Let’s say thank you whenever we can and pay it forward..always.
The world is what we make of it.
