Words, tone, body language

Presidential rhetoric is a contrast in style and personality. Biden vs Trump. Biden vs Putin.

Words, tone, body language.

Words are important, but typically only 7% of a message’s meaning.

How words are said (tone) and the manner (body language) in which they are said constitute 93% of what the receiver interprets.

Communication is overwhelmingly more than words.

Retiring from work makes sense

Perhaps it’s time to let the water run downstream, never to be seen again.

Retiring from work makes sense.

Spend decades earning a living and eventually retire to “enjoy life” before the final curtain closes. Makes perfect sense.

What about retiring from writing?

Goofy-Hat dad

Sang Robert a birthday song, and used him as a storytelling prop.

Gave the exact same speech content twice yesterday. For the few people who saw both Disney keynotes, they realized the content was the same but the delivery was not. Why? Because i knew there were people watching it twice. If i have to explain it further, you do not understand. This is okay, by the way.
