Taking Oneself Too Seriously  ( on life )

I got a comment that I was beginning to sound like a boring douche, and it validated something that I was starting to feel myself.

I am taking my mission of sharing what I learned about life and business seriously, either through public speaking, writing and blogging, but it is not a license for me to take myself too seriously, which is what a bore does.

If I want people to read what I write, then I should talk about what interests them, not continue incessantly on what only interests me.  I have no problem when people agree or disagree with me passionately, but the last thing I want is to be a bore...

It is possible to tackle a serious topic lightheartedly, and in fact, it may even be possible to make it more memorable by doing it with some amount of humor and spirit of fun.

Maybe I need to know how to poke fun on myself at times...

Thanks for the wake up call, and to all of you, please do let me hear about what you think, and what you would like me to cover.
