Always nice to see you… you’re right, many people still don’t know what Twitter is, let alone the challenges faced by bloggers. I’m with you, it’s refreshing to meet many of those nice, humble people, but we still must be careful about who we trust. I’ve been burned once already.

As for the rest of your comment, I appreciate your time and thoughtful words. Thanks for your contribution here at Simply Blog. I agree, people know sincerity when they see it. Cheers!

Ok, back to the post. I can totally hear you. To be a friend/sales person, there’s only one stoke ‘/’ away. I always pray that no matter what the future may bring, to always have the self-conscious to be a decent, humble person. I am surprised, actually, there are so many talented bloggers/enterpreneurs who are so down to earth while successful at the same time. Also the help and support I gained from others during the learning process, makes me realize, to foster a solid, trusted friendship among bloggers are the most valuable gift. I believe ’sincerity’ can be felt, so whether we’re a sales person/friend to someone, it all lies in how we respond to them. (although at times we don’t mean to be a sales person)

It’s a constant reminder, to see more than just ‘ownself’, sometimes to help/share brings alot more satisfactions than just ‘me, me, me!’ alone. It’s a lesson that we’re constantly learning.

I respect your honesty but at some point or another this could happen or does happen to us all. Finding balance, using the proper approach and not become that person people run away from. It’s easy path (like you said) but it’s also a risky venture that would ruin potential relationships. Thanks for visiting Rob and sharing your thoughts. Appreciate the transparency,

I hate to admit that I sometimes fall into the “sales person” category, probably because it’s the “easier” path. It’s a bit more difficult to be thoughtful and to actually take the time to help others just for the sake of helping them.

To the “sales person” list, I’d also add: “always expects something in return,” though I suppose that’s implied. I’ve come across bloggers like that — if they do something nice for you, you’re expected to do something nice for them. It really shouldn’t be that way.
