Kidding aside, whenever I read your blog posts, I always want to get off of my computer and do homework, or read a book, or hone my programming skills, or singlehandedly end world hunger... you get the picture.<br /><br />That is the power of the written word: <em>it speaks</em>. It can communicate with all the passion and fervor of a rousing address, but silently, and through the medium of paper and ink (or pixels on a liquid crystal display). Also, just like words from the mouth of an expert public speaker, a writer's words, when read by others, have the power to change peoples' minds and hearts, to inspire them, and to move them. But not just anyone can do that: the ability to be a “people-mover” is truly a talent. I'm writing this to say this: if you, my friend, can motivate the remarkably lazy (me) to do something great, then you have that talent.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490282325428373616noreply@blogger.com
