If you ever thought that 140 characters were not enough to convey powerful thoughts – think again!

If you ever thought Twitter is a tool for mindless chatter or personal updates – think again!

Rajesh Setty (@upbeatnow on Twitter) has recently published a collection of 140 insightful tweets in form of a book titled “#TH!NKtweet – Bite-sized lessons for a fast paced world. The best gift you can give someone is the gift of ideas – and that’s what Rajesh Setty does so effectively via his books, blog, tweets and speaking engagements. I have been an ardent follower of Rajesh’s thoughts on management, leadership, relationships and networking.

The book is incredibly simple – yet incredibly profound! 140 key insights in less than 100 pages. It cannot get any simpler than this. Every page has one or two tweets and every tweet will stop you there for a while and make you think. ThinkTweet is a tweet that makes you think. The tweets are insightful, surprising and provocative – leading to some great thinking. By the way, this is the first book ever that was written entirely on Twitter.

Here are a few #ThinkTweets for you as a preview. If you like them, you can buy the book.

  • Really good help may not be available even if you pay a premium. You have to earn it.
  • You have a “problem” when you don’t know the solution. You have a “bigger problem” when you don’t know about the problem.
  • Do you have any gaps in your organization? If yes, start filling them and you are on your way to becoming a leader.

ThinkTweet is one book you can read over and over again – and everytime you read, you will find something new and be wiser than what you were before you picked up the book. When you interact with Rajesh Setty, ROII is guaranteed. Not sure what ROII means? Check it out here.

Thanks Rajesh for your valuable contribution by sharing these very useful insights.
