David, I feel your next blog post coming on.

Hope to hear more about this.

Craig, it is pretty profound, because it is common sense ask any gardener.

I changed jobs once for greener pastures. Worst job I ever had. But it was one of the smartest moves I ever made.

I heard something similar to this a few weeks ago. But it is always so incredibly profound when I hear it!!!

Repetition is the mother of all learning.

It’s how babies learn to walk, talk, catch a ball, ride a bike, read, play an instrument, pray, use manners, and love.

I asked my son the same question. He answered, “Me?” I guess I need to let him KNOW it with confidence like Chapin.

Way to set a GREAT example!

David, thank you for your message. Great encouragement (it doesn’t take muck to encourage others) at the perfect time.

If you want to get someone’s attention, “Whisper”.

Keep thinking about your answer. It will literally boost your confidence ten-fold. Well, at least double it. But maybe 10-fold (like it has for me, and I’m not even finished with the process).

The other thing your answer search will do for you is help you understand exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish.

Because if you can’t explain it to yourself, no one else will understand it either.

You ROCK for being so supportive.

Others out there reading this, you rock too, in a different, hopeful kind of way.

When I moved to Atlanta in 1983 for a job in the theme park industry, my first apartment was in a complex called Whisperwood. It was quiet and it captured our attention.

When my quartets have been coached over the years, we were taught how to get the attention of the audience by singing softly. . . the whisper technique.

And now you come along reminding me you only need to whisper to get your message across.

I have to work on my answer. Not sure what to say.

Donna, I re-wrote this post and took the examples down. They’ll be back up tomorrow, plus some of them are at http://jeffnoel.com

Appreciate, respect, and value your opinion.

Not interested in being branded only a s a blogger.

Am interested in changing the world though, and challenging people to “Live, before you die”.

Speak, books, blogs, philanthropy…..

I personally like the first one. Confused how my response is on this blog. Thought I responded to the other one. But when I read them, I did not look at them as different. I thought you were voicing the different ways you would say it when asked, not that you were looking for the “one” branding way to say it but I get it know. My only concern is do you want to brand yourself as only a blogger, maybe so, I’m not sure of your goal.

I’m The Blog Whisperer, whispering to the world, “Live, before you die.”

Just my opinion.

Does one of the five resonate better for you than the others?

Comment on Who Cursed Us? by jeff noel

Amen, Teresa.
Lorie is an awesomely grounded person. We can all be inspired by her ability to tell a great story, with profound meaning. Are we sad because the rosebush has thorns or glad because the thorn bush has roses?
That’s what Lorie has really asked all of us, in my opinion.

David, it’s not Covey.
Would have added another hint today, but it was Lorie’s day to shine.
Maybe in the morning.
In Bend, Oregon as I type this, and have a 4am Hotel departure for a 6am flight.
