The Portal Into People's Hearts Is Being

My Mom Used To Tell Me Stories At Night, Read Books To Me - And I Read 'em Over And Over And Over Again. And You Know What I Learned From That? I Went Back And Looked At Everything - Why Do I Like Reading The Same Stories Over And Over And Over Again? What, Was I Some Kind Of Nincompoop? No - The Narrative Gave Me Connection With My Mom.

I Think Any New Technology That Helps Connect And Create Social Cohesion Is Great. But At The End Of The Day, You And I Are Analog Creatures. We Have To Take 'oohs And Aahs' And Convert Them To 0s And 1s And Then Convert Them Back To 'oohs And Aahs.' Narratives That Work In Social Networks Are The Exchange Of Stories That Are Told Well.

There's A Sense Of Aliveness That Comes From Connection, Shared Experience. And You See It In Every Place. You See It When Ball Players Jump Up And Down, Gather At Home Plate, Hugging, And It's Not Just Because They're Winning, It's That Shared Moment, That Feeling Of - We Enter The World Alone, We Leave Alone.

A German Shepherd Dog Could Walk In The Office With A Script In His Mouth, And If That Script Was Really Good, They'd Buy The Script.

Welcome It As Part Of A Process... You Just Can't Avoid It... If You Go To Bat Enough Times, You Are Going To Strike Out; And You Will Do It Cataclysmically; And You Know Success And Failure Are Just Millimeters Apart.
