So…I’m not a bad writer when I’m on my game.
So why does it seem like after every-time I speak, I seem to walk away the most moved person in the room.
A while back, I joked to myself that if I really choose to take on the life of an elected official, I’ve got to learn how to chock my speeches up with a litany of aphorisms and rhetoric. I looked up the term, aphorism, and its defined as “a concise statement containing a subjective truth or observation cleverly and pithily written.” By that definition, all of these quotes I set up as the pillars of my life, are merely aphorisms. Subjective truths. I don’t know why that’s a perspective shatterer pour moi but it is.
So my next question is why they are so broadly appealing. They are no absolutes in life (yet another aphorism) but at times, these quotes can seem like hard facts.
It’s interesting. It makes me wonder if this is what goes on in the heads of marketers and such.
