No One Will Disagree With Me On This Subject!

Today I received flowers and  I bet  no one will disagree... they are just beautiful. The arrangement looks  good on my coffee table. He Did it Again! I love them both... the roses and TLH! 

 

But yesterday's post about my print advertising did not have everyone agreeing. Take a look...within 24 hours, there were 75 comments on this feature   So forget print advertising ?.... NOT at this time.

Phil Faranda made this comment.. "Margaret- do what works. If I got results from hiring a town crier or taping my card to the inside of men's room stalls, I'd do it.If print ads are working for you, do print ads." Phil had written a featured post with an exact opposite view.

Thanks to Praful Thakkar for reblogging both posts.

                                   These roses are beautiful and I bet no one will will disagree with me on this subject!

 

            Is it our  goal  to write only posts that will get the reaction.."these are pretty flowers"

  No One Will Disagree With Me On This Subject! Yes, of course, the flowers are beautiful. If all my writing was to have everyone agree with me, how would I have the chance to teach from my experience? How would I share ideas that have been a success? ....even when others have tried to convince me of what does not work!

Margaret: There are so many different markets out there and differing styles of business that it is pointless for an agent in say San Bernandino to tell an agent in Poughkeepsie wha they should be doing. And for that matter it is equally futile for an agent sitting next to you in the same office to pontificate about how to do things "correctly" in this field. Phil's right in that he has to do what he thinks works for him.

Margaret-I agree. The roses are beautiful. Yes, it would not be fun if everyone agreed on everything. Our differences make us learn a new perspective.

Thanks for the mention, Margaret. 

That's the difference between about 200,000 activerain subscribers and others - we believe in innovations - we try and we make it work. Phil said rightly so - we'd work in best interest of our clients.

For me, blogging has become a habit (it's about 3 AM on Sunday and I am still thinking about what to blog about today..), and yes, it's little late start for me, but will try to be as much consistent as I can be.

And, yes, cannot disagree with you today -- after all roses are roses!

It would be entirely boring if we all agreed.  Why should I read posts that only repeat my own thoughts.  I enjoy the posts that stir debate, I learn so much more from hearing the opinions of others.

The world would not be the same if we all agreed, just think of it everyone in agreement, there would be no need for guns, different governments, no television broadcasting hate and violence.  world at peace lofty ideas and someday it will come but not in our lifetime.  Sorry for getting so long but as always your posts are fun to read.

I have to agree with you on that one...they are beautiful. Now I will go read your other post to see what all the hoopla is over the print ads...or not. It will go well with my coffee today as I contemplate the leaves changing color outside.

Maureen, Guess, I should say... I agree with you. :)

Praful, At three in the morning, you might have more than a habit and we are all enjoying your writing.

OK Margaret - Just so you won't be able to say "everyone agreed" - yellow roses are the least favorite of my favoritets!  (Acutally I prefer Iris, but then ....)  Thanks for sharing and for the understatement:

Is it our  goal  to write only posts that will get the reaction.."these are pretty flowers"

What a boring world that would be ...

I’ve often been called a rebel, but I don’t rebel just for the sake of being a rebel. If I did, I would disagree with you about the beauty of the roses, especially since I’m not a fan of yellow roses. That’s because I have this weedy rose in my cactus garden that I just can’t get rid of. I’ve tried Roundup, transplanting the rose, chopping it into itty bitty pieces, digging down to China to get the root system, and it keeps coming back. I think maybe it’s a haunted yellow rose. It’s blooming right now. Two roses on it. I refuse to take any more pictures of it, but here’s one that I took a few months ago.

Russel, Ok so there are now two who don't care for yellow roses. Just tell me what color and I will put the order in. How's this for a start ?  I also have green ones.

Love the roses, Margaret...I also commented on the original blog :-)  My husband used to get me these beautiful bordeau roses that looked like they had parchment paper too...not sure of the official name, but they were beautiful...hmmm...come to think of it....

 

"Honey, remember those beautiful roses you used to get me???  What were they called? Why? OH - I was just talking with a friend online about roses and wanted to tell her which ones you used to send me?  You know, before the kids...they were so incredible..." <wink>
