Three Great Americans

Speaking is an art form. Language is a beautiful liquid. Orators have a responsibility to their audience to deliver consistently beautiful art.

What all of the following orators had was an 'incredible emotional connection'. It's not just about the facts. One component is their delivery - they are all individually defined and strong.

Abraham Lincoln - Gettysburg Address. The three minute address is considered one of the best examples of public speaking in history.

Martin Luther King. Enough said.

Bill Clinton a classic example of modern speaking at its highest level.

Ambition is a goal. People either make it or they don't. People who make it have ambition.

Broad Thinking

A dream has evoked ideologies about the state of the world we reside in. In this dream, I was part of a large group of people rationed food by our superiors. We fought with each other to quickly grasp onto whatever was supplied to us.

With problems such as the subprime crisis and riots due to rising food prices, one has to be mindful of the good times that most of the world's citizens have enjoyed in recent years when compared with many previous episodes in history.
