I had an interesting conversation this morning from which I learned several things – 1) Everything is a learning experience.2) There are two sides to every story.3) People actually read this thing.4) Perception may not be reality, but it most assuredly affects and impacts peoples’ decisions.5) The power of one voice can no longer be overlooked.6) The evolution of the power of blogs is still young.I hope to offer more on this conversation later. There is more to the story and I would love to share it.
