    #Hashtag—Once called a pound sign, the # identifies what people are saying about a topic or event. Put one in front of a phrase (no spaces!) and that tweet shows up in a list of others with the same hashtag. Use sparingly.

    Retweet—This is really just a fancy word for “share.” When you “retweet,” you are sharing someone else’s tweet verbatim with your followers.

    Direct Message—Get with the lingo! These private messages are often called DMs. The messages can be longer than 140 characters and even include photos and video.

    @ Reply—To get in touch with someone, put @ before their username. But when your tweet starts with a name, you need a period in front of it (example: .@WSJ) if you want your followers to see the tweet in their feeds.

    Hearting—Once upon a Twitter, there was a favorite button on tweets, and people “favorited” things. Now there’s a heart. Twitter says it means “like” but “hearting” and “hearted” seems to be catching on as a verb.

    For a Leader

    by John O’Donohue

     

    May you have the grace and wisdom

    To act kindly, learning

    To distinguish between what is

    Personal and what is not.

     

    May you be hospitable to criticism.

     

    May you never put yourself at the center

    Of things.

     

    May you act not from arrogance but out

    Of service.

     

    May you work on yourself,

    Building up and refining the ways of your

    Mind.

     

    May those who work with you know

    You see and respect them.

     

    May you learn to cultivate the art of

    Presence

    In order to engage with those who meet

    You.

     

    When someone fails or disappoints you,

    May the graciousness with which you

    Engage

    Be their stairway to renewal and

    Refinement.

     

    May you treasure the gifts of the mind

    Through reading and creative thinking

    So that you continue as a servant of the

    Frontier.

     

    Where the new will draw its enrichment

    From the old,

    And you never become a functionary.

     

    May you know the wisdom of deep

    Listening,

    The healing of wholesome words,

    The encouragement of the appreciative

    Gaze,

    The decorum of held dignity,

    The springtime edge of the bleak

    Question.

     

    May you have a mind that loves frontiers

    So that you can evoke the bright fields

    That lie beyond the view of the regular

    Eye.

     

    May you have good friends

    To mirror your blind spots.

     

    May leadership be for you

    A true adventure of growth.
