Four dialects of love
I just found an amazing revelation in the book The Noticer by Andy Andrews that I’m reading.
There are four dialects of love. If you want to express love to a person, you need to use the right dialect, otherwise the person won’t understand what you’re saying and may feel unloved by you.
- There is the dialect of spoken word of approval (animal equivalent: puppy dog).
- There is the dialect of favors and deeds (animal equivalent: goldfish).
- There is the dialect of physical contact (animal equivalent: cat).
- There is the dialect of quality time (animal equivalent: canary).

“Melancholy shouldn’t be confused with depression. Melancholy is an active state. When we’re melancholic, we feel uneasy with the way things are, the status quo, the conventions of our society. We yearn for a deeper, richer relationship with the world. And in that yearning, we’re forced to explore the potential within ourselves – a potential we might not have explored if we were simply content. We come up with new ways of seeing the world and new ways of being in the world. Melancholy and creativity go together.”

I want to talk about what I think of using Tumblr for business so far.
