Here are 10 social media tips inspired by the words of Dr. Seuss. The original (and longer) article was written by Laura Cunningham of GhostTweeting.com: What the Good Doctor Taught Us: 10 Unexpected Social Media Tips from Dr. Seuss.

1. Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is you-er than you. — Be yourself. And be consistent.

2. A person’s a person, no matter how small. — Every connection counts, and people with the least amount of connections often become your most loyal fans.

3. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. — Be true and genuine with your beliefs and posts.

4. So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads. — Keep it short and to the point.

5. From there to here and here to there, funny things are everywhere. — There’s always something entertaining out there to comment on.

6. Step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s a great balancing act. — Be extra kind with your words. Stay away from contentious topics.

7. If you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you will learn! The most wonderful stuff! — Follow interesting people. Join relevant discussions and groups. Engage with your followers.

8. Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. — If you need help, ask. Your social media connections will help!

9. Will you succeed? Yes, you will indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed! — If you try and try and try some more, there’s almost no way you can fail in social media.

10. Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way! — It’s time to start doing! You’ll get to the top if you don’t give up.

You are what you believe yourself to be. — Paulo Coelho

Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, for you shall only live it once. Be comfortable with growing older. — Louise Hay

Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window—or break down a door. — Brooke Shields

Just can’t live that negative way… make way for the positive day! — Bob Marley

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. — Oprah Winfrey

You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. — John Wooden

Look for the blessing in all situations. — Wayne Dyer

What if the smartest people in the world understand something that the rest of us don’t? (They do.)

What if they know that in order to achieve success, they will sometimes have to do things that others may initially perceive as stupid? The fact of the matter is that the smartest people in the world don’t run from stupid, they lean into it (in a smart way).

In The Power of Starting Something Stupid, Richie Norton redefines stupid as we know it, demonstrating that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid.

What if the key to success, creativity, and fulfillment in your life lies in the potential of those stupid ideas?

Richie Norton has written a book about courage. The courage to do work that matters and to do it with your heart and your soul. Go make something happen. — Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception
