I learned of another social media site; actually I had heard about this site a while back, but I didn't know anyone who was on it, until I discovered some friends who were now linked to it. It's called Tout (http://tout.com) and offers you the opportunity to make a 15-second video tweet and put it out for all to see. This differs from Vine (http://vine.co), which only gives you a 6-second window of opportunity. I tried it out and created my first Tout for the world to see...enjoy::

Stuff I Learned - 10 Jun 2013
I just read how Tim Tebow was signed by the New England Patriots as a backup quarterback for Tom Brady. In spite of all the negativity, this "polarizing" player (according to the press, who polarizes him) was hailed by coach Bill Bellicek for his "versatility, intelligence and character." According to the ESPN article that was written, "Coach Belichick covets what he has described as tough, smart, versatile football players."
How many times do we hear the junk, either from others or (worse) from ourselves or those closest to us?
Sometimes it takes a story like that to keep you away from the brink of despair. You may not be able to throw a football, but you have talents that you can use to get you to that highest level that you desire.
The one step formula to success:
1. Never give up!
Have a great day!

8. Happiness
Today I will do my best to remain happy, regardless of the circumstances of the hour.
