Last Updated: 22nd July, 2021 09:04 IST The Minimalist co-founder mocks people with bad English. The Internet slams his point of view saying, “perhaps his attitude may be the first thing to fix here.” IMAGE: Twitter/@FABResearch/Unsplash Knowing a foreign language may be an asset, and yet not the cornerstone of one’s intelligence, knowledge, experience, or identity. While worldwide, some 1.75 billion people, including leaders, the business decision-makers, and youngsters choose the English language to express their ideas and thought processes, good knowledge of the language is never a measure of intelligence, and likewise, not knowing the widely-spoken language shall not shun out an individual of their social cliques, or be mocked at. Often, the Grammar Nazis or Sesquipedalians, or those fond of ‘high-flown’ language tag others struggling with the English language as “un-smart,” despite that there is no scientific evidence that the proficiency in a foreign language determines human intelligence, the logical analysis by the scientific world has time and again found.But The Minimalist Co-founder, Sahil Vaidya, who made it on Forbes 30 under 30 list, does not seem to agree with the logic as he propelled an inane idea on Wednesday that seemed to predict that if an individual is “not as proficient”…

21 July 2021    4 min read Sue Parker is back with the juice on LinkedIn. This time she explores how to make content that goes the distance and gets real traction. As everyone in the marketing world knows great content is king, queen and everything between on LinkedIn. Whether you have a LinkedIn content strategy for your own agency or that of your clients you want a ‘ROE’ (return on effort). Many marketers are throwing their hands in the air in frustration at the never ending stream of changes, algorithm fluctuations and divergent opinions on the how, what and when for traction.

LINKEDIN HAS LONG been touted as the “professional Facebook” and a great place to find employees or colleagues, but it is so much more than that. It’s no longer just a place to list all of your education and workplace experience. It’s a professional networking site, a business hub, a jobsite, a news feed and a directory of any professional who is smart enough to create a profile. But how does this work for an eyecare practice? Here are seven ways you can use LinkedIn for your business: 1. Create or claim your LinkedIn business profile. Every day we see unclaimed business profiles, which is such a missed opportunity.

Completing a personal profile offers the business a ton of value as well. If a patient is searching for a particular OD, the personal LinkedIn profile or page will…
