Mouse Calibration?

Re-calibrate your mouse!

You should actually do this every year.. Even more often if you spend a lot of time on the computer.

I was shocked to see how well this works, and how far off mine was!

To re-calibrate your mouse...

In the white area below, click and hold on the capital G then drag it toward the small g.

If it doesn't work immediately, you might want to clean your mouse, as the calibration is off.

Good lord!! You'll believe anything

I'm sure you will also recommend this to all your friends once you see how much smoother and better the mouse works after.

One Line on Writing and Confidence

I came across this quote on Twitter the other day.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love~LaoTzu

It made me think in a different way about confidence and writing. About how much kindness is an essential part of the mix.

Kindness in words creates confidence in others.

Kindness in words creates confidence in your self.

Writing with kindness is not hard. There’s no critic that stands in our way. Writing with kindness just means holding kindness in our hearts, and writing with the intention to share it.

Simple, isn’t it?

Kindness in words creates confidence.
