Those that can't....Tweet

When I was young there was a disparaging saying about teachers. It was something like "Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.:

Which of course, is rediculous.
First off, you can't teach if you dont know how to do something.
Second, most teachers teach because they LIKE to. They prefer to help others to get good at something rather than just keep the knowledge for themselves.

But today there is a new age of Teacher.
Folks running around Twitter posting uplifting messages in 144 characters or less.
(Well...now it's 288 characters. More teaching!)

All the messages look the same. It's one of two genres.
Either some sweetie with a big heart saying: Let the light in your heart shine for all the world to see. Go after your dream....

Or some blowhard in his blazer and blue jeans saying: The problem is YOU. YOU need to #hustle. You need to #grind. While you sleep, I eat the competition. I'm a mega jakked animal....


But either way...is it really "teaching"?
Just a series of mantras and advice.
No real content. No real "how to"
Just "you must" messages.

You must keep going.
You must have a positive attitude
You must do whst others fear.

Some of these guys tweet so often, I wonder when they have time to work.
When do they work?
(Oh! That's right...they make so much passive income that they don't HAVE to work anymore. They can vacation in the islands and count their money and tweet. Click the link in their profile if you want to make $250,000 this month....!)

Advice is nice, but enough lecturing from the same blowhard or the same angel-faced "social media expert" gets tedious.  It all sounds the same. It's like one repetitious loop of catch phrases.

Don't tell me what I have to do.
Teach me "how".

Then we can all be "those that do"..
