If they don’t mock you, you’re probably average.

Sometimes the truth is so true. Garr, form Presentation Zen, had this to share yesterday…

“As you become better and better
at anything—especially if you become great at it—people will try to
dismiss your talents and accomplishments. And if you are inspiring and
articulate, they may go after that too.”

Garr then pointed to this nifty blog called Indexed, and shared this sample graphic from Jessica Hagy.

Like I said, the truth is so true.

    Indexed is my guilty pleasure…

    True in the adult world, but in the youth ministry world being mocked by students simply means that you are breathing … and sometimes not ever that!

    At least if people are mocking you, you know they’re paying attention to what you’re saying.
