enjoy the silence

Good things can happen when your phone’s off. We’ve got to admit, a switched-off mobile can say a lot. It can say to the person next to us “I think you deserve my full attention.” Or it can let our kids know, “You’re more important than the office.” It’s a simple gesture but it speaks volumes. Likewise, you can call to say thank you, but if you really mean it, maybe send a letter. A nice hand-written job on fancy paper. And, sure, texting someone a flirty something is all clean fun. But, let’s face it, the good stuff doesn’t happen until you show up in person. That’s the thing about the new gizmos we come up with. They never replace established ways of communicating. They just make them more special. Worth considering. After all, the more special we make each other feel, the better we’ll all get on. And that’s got to be a good thing.( ad from the London Underground )
