Why Do Some Warriors Have Kept on Posting 'What If ____ Will Die?'

5 replies
Just an observation...

I believe, this week or the last has the most number of 'What if ____ will die' type of posts. These posts are even generalizing things such as the entire Internet Marketing, the Internet, social media, etc.

What benefit one will get by over-analyzing the uncertain? It's fine to be proactive, rather than being reactive, in thinking ahead of what may happen in the future. IMHO, 'proactive' attitude works well when used in analyzing the foreseeable outcome of specific things such as if-my-plan-A-didn't work-what-will-be-my-plan-B type of thinking.

If I may suggest, instead of wasting some brain neurons thinking of 'what if the world will end in Dec 2012' and other uncontrollable things that, perhaps, only God can answer, it'll be intellectually healthy to think of:
- what if I start asking my customers' honest feedback, will it resolve the gap as to why I'm getting a very low conversion rate?
- what if I spend quality time with my kids instead of burning my 15 hours on the Internet, will it strengthen our bond?
- what if I quit smoking and start exercising, will I become a more good-looking man?

Let's dwell on things where we have control of. Let's look at the foreseeable. Let's touch what we can reach.

As the late Stephen Covey said, we need to focus on our Circle of Influence and not on our Circle of Concern.

    There are already 2 threads pointing out the irony of the topic:

    Main Section: The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated - is internet marketing dead?

    Off Topic: Is "Is SEO Dead" Dead?


    The only thing worse than "death of" threads: threads talking about "death of" threads :rolleyes:.

    By starting this thread, you're kind of going against your own advice here. You're worrying about something you can't control. Ignorant people are going to make ignorant "death of" threads. Troll 'em or ignore 'em.

      lol... I'm not worried about them. Just an observation.

    I seem to remember these threads were banned in the old Warrior Forum. I wish they would reinstate that ban... ;-)

    ETA: Add in the "My xxxth post" threads. Those were banned, too, at one point. It got ridiculous with people posting "My 100th post..."

    Because some people prefer theorising instead of doing actual work or providing useful content. Also it brings attention to their signature.

    Time of thinking is over.
