Thoughts, Words, Actions
This morning my son sent me a passel of photos he took last May at SOBCon2010 It took a few minutes to download them all. But those few minutes were punctuated with lovely memories and glimpses of familiar faces. They recalled a weekend of working together to build a barn.
Rather than uploading the entire photo roll to flicker — the good, the bad, and the oh so not attractive — the way the photos came was irresistible.
- The photos were only the best. My son took the time to choose those that he thought were the best. That led me to spend my time on those that I truly enjoyed and could find great uses for.
- He had weeded out those that were less attractive. He saved me time having to sort our the ones I’d probably never use. He saved me space on my computer, probably knowing I’d never be able to toss images of my friends once I had them.
- The wow was that he delivered them to me. He fit the process easily into my life by emailing them to me. That was nicely done. It’s far easier to locate and keep them in my gmail account. When I want to access and share an image from my iphone it’s already there.
So I used the time I that I might have used sorting and reviewing photos to choose four or five that were outstanding images of attendees and send them on as a surprise to the people who were so beautifully depicted in them.
Being irresistible is mostly thinking about how to makes someone’s else life easier, faster, more meaningful.
