The document discusses the mystery of storytelling. It notes that storytelling is more about the audience than the storyteller. A good story elicits emotions in the audience like fear and pity to give the writer control over them. It also follows a similar pattern of struggling and suffering but needs more than just a good storyline - it requires visual elements to fully engage the audience and get them emotionally invested in the story.

The mystery of storytelling
Storytelling has long been mysterious because its true purpose has been misunderstood. While writers want to share their stories, the objective should be turning on readers and making them turn the page. A good story focuses on the audience, not the storyteller, and leaves readers feeling something when finished. History provides hints that all strong stories have three pillars - fear, catharsis, and suffering - and follow a similar pattern of emotionally attaching audiences. Visuals enhance stories by making audiences more interactive.

The art of writing stories
This document discusses the art of writing stories and provides advice on incorporating artistic elements beyond just craft. It argues that the best stories have an artistic quality that transcends good structure and crafting. Some key points made include: considering concepts like madness, beauty, risk-taking, and serendipity; experimenting with perspectives, characters, and narrative voices; focusing on a single character-defining gesture or playing with expectations of an ending; and emphasizing style over shock value when including sensitive topics. The overall message is that writers should challenge conventions and take creative risks to bring an artistic element to their stories.

3 questions you need to ask about your brand

Polarization can be exploited to serve core customer groups.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
