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 whose palette has only two
or three splotches of color from which to choose. So it
is with a vocabulary that has limited words for painting the
stories of one's 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 mean limited
expression. Limited language skills mean limited
opportunity. These limitations block efforts to raise him
above the worker class. His struggle to upgrade his
circumstances collapses 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? Whether you like it or not, your
conversation as well as your language skills tell the world
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.
