RE: Freewrite: sound check!
Oh yes, I forgot to include cigarettes, my nemesis, in my stories!!
Thank you for reminding me.
There is an awesome delivery from the Toastmaster' winner on youtube about cigarettes. I LOVE that opening. Check it out.
(I do not know him and earn nothing by sending you there, it's just a helluva opening).
Let me know what you think.
His point was so hilariously and eloquently made! I completely agree that the way we deliver our message affects how it is received. We have such power with our words. With a single sentence we can create, inspire, destroy, and debilitate. How often are messages brushed aside because of the way they were delivered? Even in conversations between friends, this can happen. When you bring in social media into it, you can see how the choice of words has an impact. How many posts have you read that cover the same topic, and try to make the same point, but garner very different responses?
Thank you for sharing this with me!
Well said. I am glad you went to see the video. I keep watching it too, hoping that I will become a better speaker myself. I hope it was worth your time. Thanks for the thoughtful comment, too!
