Are Your Dreams Trapped Inside Your Head
Sometimes a dream needs a little help. Even in our social and business relations, the race is not to the swift, but to the verbal - the spellbinding orator - the silver-tongued seducer.
As you are reading these words, you are taking part in one of the wonders of the natural world. For you and I belong to a species with a remarkable ability. That ability is language. Man's most important cultural invention. With nothing but words, we can reliably cause new ideas to arise in each other's minds. Hypnosis has proven that mere words can deeply influence behavior and perception.
Language is a bit like the artist who's palette has only two or three splotches of color from which to choose. As so it is with a vocabulary that has limited words for painting the stories of ones past or future. They are colorless and uninteresting. They lack excitement or persuasion.
Take for example the less fortunate hapless worker. He probably has lofty dreams. But those dreams are trapped inside his head because No dream or ambition can be told without being couched in words. Limited words means limited expression. Limited language skills means limited opportunity. These limitations block efforts to raise him above the worker class. His struggle to upgrade his circumstances collapse at the point his language skills fail to support his aspirations.
BUT LETS TALK ABOUT YOU
Does your cocktail party repartee come across as sophisticated conversation, or a confused meandering string of meaningless babble. Weather you like it or not, your conversation as well as your language skills tells the wold about your background, even your intelligence.
In a study which polled top executives in fifty-eight of America's largest companies, every single executive named personal communications skills as the major factor in their advancement
You may feel you are stuck with your current education or intrinsic intelligence. While that may be partially true, you are not stuck with your current verbal and conversation skills.
Remember…The race is not to the swift, but to the verbal - the spellbinding orator - the silver-tongued seducer. You learn the skills in a matter of weeks, sometimes days. It's largely a matter of making the that decision and commitment. Call it a Masters in Verbology. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Question or Comment? E-mail ( oscar1@moment.net )
