JOHN ADAMS' ADVICE TO TWITTERERS, BLOGGERS, AND FACEBOOK USERS

John Adams, Founding Father, this nations first Vice-President (1789-1797) and second President (1797-1801), wrote the following to his useless excuse for a son in law. Of course, Adams never sent a tweet or updated a Facebook page, but what he wrote is still good advice for those who like to share their whole lives with a global audience: "Tell not of your prosperity, because it will make two men mad to one man glad; nor tell of your adversity, for it will make two men glad to one sad."
