Yoko Ono

This is impractical, I think, but a wonderful idea. Around Christmas, Yoko Ono sent out a tweet that was retweeted a LOT
(Twitter doesn't log more than 100 retweets, apparently, which is stupid of them considering they are a major social networking tool and that sort of information could be useful when they decide to start taking advertisers.)
and particularly inspired me.

Try to say nothing negative about anybody for three days, for forty-five days, for three months. See what happens to your life.

Now, I'm not a particularly negative person, but I do have a tendency to complain and gossip. I'm not sure how following this advice would affect my life - either I would become a soft radiant beacon of hope and love... or I would bottle it all up until I exploded into a sarcastic puddle of goo. I'd like to believe the more-Zen option would happen.


Either way, people would think I was a much nicer person. I'd probably get asked if I were on drugs.
