What do you use for your profile quote? Every time I join a new site, this question stumps me. It leaves me asking more questions:
- If its for my profile page, shouldn’t the quote be mine?
- What quote reflects who I am?
- Should it be funny, cause I appreciate a good laugh?
- Should it be a phrase I always say?
- Do I have to go back and change it every day to reflect my current mood?
- Are great quotes constructed or do they just happen?
- If I quote someone else, does that reflect that I’m a fan of the person who said it?
- Do I want to start browsing for websites that offer quotes for a good one or just fill it in with the first thing that crosses my mind?
- Are people actually going to read this?
- What kind of people are going to read this? My friends who already know me? Strangers who might want to follow me? Clients who might be bothered by a tasteless quote?
- Should the quote be a question?
- I don’t want to quote a person that everyone quotes, do I?
- Is the quote a real quote and not a misquoted quote?
- Is a quote still a quote if it is never quoted?
- Am I going to be able to change this in case I regret the quote?
- What did that one guy say that one time? That was great! Why can’t I remember that quote?
- Did Yogi Berri know he was creating Yogiisms?
- Can I just skip this part of the form?
- Do I understand the quote or am I just picking it cause it “sounds” clever?
- If I make up something clever will other people quote me?
