As a teacher of highschool juniors, I agree that short content is the way to go. People have asked why my articles are short as if I don't have anything else to say - trust. me, I do. However, I never like to go over a 5 min read. Short, sweet, and to the point. That's wear I want to live.

Right, Brenda. I also try to do the same, it's really an era of short-form content.

I just read over it. I can’t believe I misused the word “WEAR” …. My apologies.

It's OK! It shows you're human and as humans we're prone to errors now and again. It's what makes us, well, us! ☺️

three minute U tube videos i guess. Scary. How can you make a real argument for or against anything in three minute sound bites?

Oh man, I am talking about short-form in the case of Tiktoks, reels, Pinterest pins, YouTube shorts and threads. They are all short-form contents. That's what I said that. I hope you understood!

Your essay does a great job showing how important attention is today. It’s not just about getting noticed but making real connections. By being genuine, helpful, and consistent, you can turn attention into long-term success. Thanks Aiza.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Tinashe! I'm glad that my words resonated with you. You're absolutely right—building real connections is key. It's not just about being seen; it's about creating value and trust. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

“What you feed will breed”

Attention is the food for multiplying that growth.

The attention span of a reader is short-lived. If you don't get them to want to continue reading, you've lost them.

Just wanted to say hi and wish you well. we might be kindred spirits to some extent. I feel like a stranger in a strange land much of the time. Possible my taste for dark humor is an attempt to make some sense of of an insane world.

best wishes & stay in touch. YOurs Joe S
