1000 + 1 Fortunes, Short Stories and Proverbs for Success
Author: Canute KellyPublisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499079966
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
No two human beings have the same fingerprint nor feel the same sensations in exactly the same way at exactly the same time, and yet we can relate to a lot of the same emotions in similar ways. I reflected on some of the things my grandmother would say to me, thought about scenes I have seen in movies and how knowledge and habits are passed down through generations, and it makes me think of how connected we are as human beings. Some of the contents of things I have received from the papers in fortune cookies remind me of things my grandmother would say and sometimes take me back to pleasant memories from my childhood, and just like how a cookie is shared, I wanted to share the emotions the fortunes elicit.

Book Description
A Little Book About Sharing Big Ideas Succinctly What do the following statements have in common? Slow and steady wins the race (Aesop, ~550 BC) Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today (Chaucer, late 1300s) Stupid is as stupid does (Gump, 1994) They're all proverbs--the ultimate long-stories short that convey more meaning than the words used to construct them. They're universally human, independent of time, culture, and language. They're policies for making better life decisions, passed from the experienced to the inexperienced. And while it's tempting to dismiss them as droll or trite, doing so just underestimates the roles they play in both human understanding and teaching. The Proverb Effect is the first book to define a repeatable process to convey deep meaning through self-created proverbs. Read it to learn: Why proverbs reign supreme over other message types What makes proverbs the triple-threat of communications: memorable, repeatable and most importantly, persuasive A step-by-step methodology to apply the most powerful communications device in human history. The best writers, speakers, and teachers use proverbs. You should too.
