what to do with a know-it-all blogger

Tweet

A know-it-all or know-all is a person who believes that he/she has an accurate comprehension of a topic and/or situation when in reality, his/her comprehension is inaccurate and limited. ~wikipedia

I've encountered a lot of know-it-all's in the blogging and social networking world. There was this blogger who gave a comment, in one of my posts, totally disaggreeing with what I've written. Corrections are highly welcome in my blog but the way she wrote the comment made my eyebrow shooting through the roof! There was no finesse at all. Her sentence was synonymous to, "You're very wrong, I'm very right even without any scientific reference. I just know I'm right." It was a health/beauty topic.

What happened with her comment? I sent it straight to the spam folder.

This is my blog afterall, my personal space in the online world. If you visit someone elses house, do you tell  the owner that her house is a total mess based on your own opinion and without any advise from the experts -a fengshui master or an interior decorator perhaps?

I didn't bother publishing her comment and commenting on it. According to  Stanislaw Jerzy Lec, a Polish writer, "The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him".

For yesterday is but a dream,


And tomorrow is only a vision:


But today well lived


Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,


And every tomorrow a vision of hope.


Look well, therefore, to this day.

 Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you'll gonna get. ~ Forrest Gump

So true. Very true indeed. Never did I imagine, even in my wildest dreams, that some of the things that happened in my life will ever happen. I have resolved, talked and convinced myself last New Year's eve, to accept everything that comes my way from this year onwards *fingers crossed*.

I am bracing myself for more surprises. Bring it on!

Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. ~Swami Sivananda

But not all mistakes can be corrected, just like what a former police officer did yesterday.

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. ~ Alexander Graham Bell
