Tip#365: Social Media is About Synergy & Community – Avatar

To fully understand the benefits of social media is to recognize what it is to be social. Being social is having positive interactions with other people. It's also about synergy that celebrates cooperation and working together.

Social media choices like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Blogs have become highly integrated into how we communicate and how we purchase and sell. And the only way to utilize the benefits is to build an optimistic mindset. You must first let go of any preconceptions of what you "think" you know about social media.

Avatar 2009

The movie Avatar features an alien culture of blue cat-like humanoids that represents the core of synergy and community. Everything about the Na'vi culture is about interaction and cooperation. You see it in how the Na'vi ride their horse-like creatures and the dragon-like birds they fly on.

Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) learns about the Na'vi culture and after 3 months transforms his old mindset to recognize how connected these people were to each other and to the plants and animals all around them. He is able to clearly see the richness of this alien world and eventually harness its power so he could help this race on a massive level.
