Treat each thing as if it were alive.

And here is another quote I found from a Connected Courses post: this comes from Mariana Funes's wonderful post, The psychology of open: On wrestling your inner MOOC. So, it comes from James Hillman via Mariana Funes:
We each are much more than 140 characters and,  as James Hillman said,  it pays to treat each thing ‘as if it were alive’. I might paraphrase this as ‘treat each comment or tweet you read as coming from a ‘thing’ that is alive and wants to be seen for more than the transactional usefulness they may have in the context of your PLN (personal or professional learning network)’ – but not as catchy, I know.
