The People Tree – our new e-book project

designed by www.digitalpicasso.com

To make our speeches impressive, we use the words quoted by the high and mighty, like  The Buddha, Gandhi, Tolstoy, M.Luther King, George Bernard Shaw . The Word Jockey thought – why use only quotes quoted by the icons? Why can’t we get Common People like us, to share thoughtprovoking words with the world? 

We noticed a trend on Facebook, wherein people quoted their original words, and others liked them. Some were super good. Worth spreading, worth talking about. So we decided to start a page on FB called ‘The People Tree’ – words of wisdom of the people, for the people, by the people. Visit our page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-PEOPLE-TREE/168725317728 to know more about it. 

(‘People’ connotes the Indian tree ‘Peepal’ which is a symbol of wisdom and enlightenment.)  The People Tree is a not-for-profit virtual community on Facebook. When we see some nice wise words quoted by common people, we simply repost them (after their permission) to be shared with everyone else. Of course with credits to the author of the quote! This way we intend to have a collaborative collection of wise quotes by us,people! To give this exercise a climax, along came the idea of collecting as many good quotes as possible and converting these into a little e-book of sorts. This would be, of course, distributed FOC to anyone around the world. 

So here we are, with The Word Jockey’s initiative of The People Tree E-book wherein we invite people to quote or vote. To participate, all you got to do is: 

Step 1: 

1) Visit our page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-PEOPLE-TREE/168725317728  

2) Write your quote on our wall! Language no bar, provided people understand the script. 

3) Share the page with your friends and ask them to vote 

 We shall repost your quote  for all our friends and members to vote for it. You too should share this page with your friends to ask for their vote (basically click on the Like button). If you get more than 10 likes, your quote is in! It will become a part of our ‘wall of fame’ and be included in out first edition of The People Tree’s e-book.
