Dibe ku Hûn Di Vê De Tenê Ne Nebaş in
Every once in a while you’re blessed by someone who takes the time to thank you after you do a speech. I joke with folks who tell me how great a session was by letting them know I’ve never been good at ballet. It always gets a chuckle, but there’s a story behind it.
Bi rastî ez ji dansê hez dikim.
Dayika min di piraniya zaroktiya xwe de ez kirim dersên tap û jazê. Bi kêfxweşî, min karibû wê rastiyê ji piraniya hevalên xwe veşêrim. Ez jî ji studyoyê çûm dibistana du bajaran ji ber vê yekê ez qet neçar bûm ku kesek pêşandanek pêşkêş bike û min di jelek sequin û pêlavên tap tap çermî de nas bike.
Shuffle, hop, gav.
Back to the point. Some people aren’t good at dancing. My son, for instance, has incredible rhythm. He plays a ton of instruments and mixes music that sounds incredible. But put him on a dance floor, and he looks like he’s a peacock with a sprained ankle having a seizure. (Sorry Bill, I still love you!) Lucky for all of us, including his wonderful girlfriend, he’s really good at math. He’s really, really good at math.
Pirouette.
Ok… here’s the point. Some people suck at Twitter, some suck at Facebook and even more suck at blogging. Stop trying to make them do what they aren’t ever be good at. Some companies are in the same boat. They’re not good at it… they’re not ever going to be good at it. Quit trying to talk them into it. Let them continue doing what they’re truly good at.
Ez di baleyê de ne baş im.
I’ve never tried ballet. And, lucky for me, you won’t make me try it. If you suck at Twitter, invest your time elsewhere. If you suck at Facebook, stop clogging up people’s walls with contests on what kind of zoo animal you look like. If you suck at blogging, go find someone that is good at it and have them write the content.
Bikişin, bavêjin û et plié mezin.
Dibe ku hûn tenê di vê tiştên medyaya civakî de ne baş bin. Baş e, ez bawer dikim ku hûn di tiştek din de jîr in. Heke we fîşeka xweya herî baş daye medyaya civakî û hûn nagihîjin cihekî, li şûna wê herin wiya bikin.
