Details matter.

Sometimes it's the little things that can make all the difference in the world. It's also those very same details (or the lack of them) that can very easily be manipulated into misleading your audience into drawing false or incomplete conclusions.


Take the following phrase:


"A woman without her man is nothing."


What does that say?


Now take the exact same words, but insert one comma and one period:


"A woman. Without her, man is nothing."


NOW what does it say?

This is a true short about a young female sailor. Her last name is Swallow and Navy enlisted recruits begin their carriers as a Seamen. The Chief (or officer) that had to call her name for roll call or interface with her would have to - by Navy protocol - call her Seamen Swallow. :tongue3: Could you say that with a straight face?

You cannot solve current problems with current thinking..

Current problems are the result of current thinking...

There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it.
