Hi,
Very inspirable article.It would be funny if it were not so serious. We are at the beginning of a depression. Yet, the spin doctors keep telling us everything is OK, and the recovery has begun.

I like post very much and I hope all other like it in form of knowledge.Keep communicating the vision and highlighting these moments and I will do the same. I am convinced if we continue to mobilize we can affect great change and at the end of the day that's so much more satisfying and rewarding to me than money or a laugh at someone else's expense.

Hi Chris,

It is very uplifting to hear or witness stories like the one you're relating in your post.

Playing the high emotional ground is a choice which is easy to make, especially for those who have experienced how it feels to be on the receiving side of it.

Being on the giving side then feels even better.

Tearing others down instead of building them up whether in real life or through social media is a symptom of low self-esteem.

If we play the high emotional ground we'll spread it to others and they in turn will pass it on.

Great post I just wish it was about 24 hours sooner. It would have changed the way I handled a situation at Barcamp Nashville. I said via twitter what everybody else was thinking but I should have instead taking the high ground. Less learned and blog post about it will be forth coming. Thanks for the advice.

[...] just a super cool guy. We were joking and laughing together, Andy Bloch was in on the fun (and as Chris points out on his blog, did a real solid to keep a guy in the game), and everybody had that great attitude that comes from [...]

Looks like you had a great time. Lots of the WSOP folks are some of the friendliest bunch you'll ever meet!

I have played with Andy Bloch online. We have a group of amateurs and semi-pros that play a weekly Twitter Poker Tour on the Full Tilt Poker Site that Andy is affiliated with. While he played quite well, I think that he was being easy with us. He is a master mathematician and could easily have won the tourney, barring random chance. He is a stand up guy. I hope to play him face to face some day.

Some teachers use a piece of chalk and inspire students to explore the depths of their souls and the expanses of the universe. It's not the tool, it's the heart, passion, creativity, and love of its user.

These tools are no different. Some will use them to inspire and help, others to do small, self-centered stuff. Thanks for the example of how to do it right.
