    Public Speaking: Use Props to Make Your Presentation Memorable
    Most of us are familiar with using visual aids in our public speaking. Even if you are not an active public speaker yourself it is pretty certain that you have suffered from the odd day or two of ‘death by PowerPoint’.

    A few weeks ago I was watching my 7 year old Grandson Joel as he was drawing a picture of a strawberry patch.

    As he drew, it began to look more and more like a Christmas wreath than a strawberry patch. I told him that it looked pretty good, but suggested to him that "maybe you could put a few strawberries here, and here and here" as I pointed to the big white area in the middle of his drawing.

    "Grandpa, it doesn't matter what YOU think, it's what the artist thinks!"

    It was funny at the time, but I have been thinking about this quite a bit.

    We have a tendancy to come up with an idea that we think is the greatest thing since sliced bread. We're absolutely convinced that everybody will beat a path to our door to buy our product.

    Could it be that the marketplace doesn't care about our opinion? Does that hurt your ego? It shouldn't. It should open your eyes to this very simple, but wildly profound truth.

    IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, IT'S WHAT THE MARKETPLACE THINKS THAT IS IMPORTANT!
