In this heartfelt episode, Garth shares his views on the way we communicate and explains why it’s important to put your phone away and catch up with people face to face
“Life is when you are moving in the world’
KEY TAKEAWAYS
People are living their lives in and around tablets and phones. These gadgets are supposed to only be for communication.
It’s gone too far because it's taking the place of people getting together, talking, living their lives together and experiencing things together.
I can send you an emoji of a smiling face but how do you know I’m really smiling?
If we were together you would have seen I was not smiling.
You have all these friends but you see none of them face to face, so the question is how is that benefiting you?
Everywhere people are using devices there is no communication between us anymore.
Lift your head up and look at the life around you
Get back to seeing your real friends and do something together where you can see them and you can be there for them.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Try and make as much use as you can of the people around you and the world’
‘Be aware of yourself’
‘Be the change that you want to see’
‘Life is when you are moving in the world’
‘I’m old school
‘This is for everyone’
