27You Don’t Have To Stop Following People To Get Rid Of The Noise
When you just start Twittering, it feels like having a conversation in your living room with all the people at the same time. Right?
As you start following more people, you almost automatically move your conversation to a larger room and some even to a stadium, so there is room for everyone and you can still hear them. However, you also notice that it becomes more difficult to listen to everyone.
At the same time, there are new people ‘entering your stadium’, as they are interested in what you have to say. This is the equivalent of people following you on Twitter, effectively saying ‘Hi, nice to meet you! I am interested in getting to know a little bit more about you’. Still with me?
Personally, I think it is decent that you say ‘hi back’ by following them too, when someone introduces him or herself this way. It is also fun to open new connections!

Last week, while watching the kids of good friends play with sidewalk chalk in our yard, I remembered something Pablo Piscasso once said:
Every child is an artist. Your challenge is to remain an artist after you grow up.
As you mature, your mind develops certain viewpoints. It becomes harder to open your mind to new ideas, let alone think out of the box. Keeping your mind in a playful state helps you to open up to creative thinking.
So how do you keep a playful frame of mind?
