If you are a member of a group, you will likely be reading this blog. You might want to check your spam folder or email if you haven’t received or responded to one in awhile, or you might be seeing that it’s been a while since you’ve last read your email.
A group is a group of online individuals who like to hang out together and do things together. A large group of people can be a good thing because it can provide a network of people willing to help you out in a place you wouldn’t have found on your own. Unfortunately, small groups of people can be a bad thing, especially if your group doesn’t have the resources or the time to get involved in an individual project.
Thats because a group can act as a funnel for the work that gets done. If you have a bunch of busybodies who are always pushing the same point and never seem to accomplish anything, you can be really left with zero energy to deal with anything else.
I think it’s important to have a group of people that you can pull and push for specific projects, but a group of people who are all busybodies and are not willing to push anything forward is a bad thing. In fact, for most people, the best way for a group to work is for each of their members to be the person who is always pushing the same thing.
A group of people who are always pushing the same thing is nothing less than a group of lazy, useless, unmotivated bums. This is not to say there aren’t some good people in any group of people. There are. They just don’t do anything that needs to be done.
Another phrase I often hear from people who want to help, is to “join a group”. This is usually a sign that the person thinks they have the right to “help” and their “group” is to be commended. In truth, the fact of the matter is that you are not in a group. Not even close. You are on your own, and if you are a member of a group you are a member of the group.
The reason I say this is because the group you are a member of is a group you are in. The group you are a member of is a group you are not in.
So how does one join a group? Just like in real life, you can join a group in order to help others, or to help yourself, or to help the group. But in a group you are in, you are part of the group. And when you are in a group, you can help other people or yourself, and when you are in a group you can help the group or yourself.
