Tell Me A Story, Don't Lecture Me. - Fi

I love watching "experts" talk. My favorite things on tv are interviews and debates. They fascinate me.

Growing up, I remember I'll get so fascinated and ask my dad how these folks get to know all these things they talk about. Some people talk and you have no choice but to be glued to whatever they've got to say.

They grab and hold your attention for as long as they want. They're called eloquent speakers/writers but what makes them so special? What gives them these powers?

Too often, in our quest for success, we tend to take the well established path. Most times, these paths are always too old and outdated to make any significant impact in this ever changing world.

To succeed on here, I see many people take to "article writing". They pick a topic and start to state points and rules like they're "experts" in the field.

Whenever I see a post trying to sound like an authoritative voice, I check to see the author's credentials.

What amount of experience have you got to be able to talk about this topic so convincingly? If I can't find evidence that your points have made an impact in your life, I tend not to take you serious.

What Does This Mean?

It means you should talk only about topics you've experienced.

Now you don't have to be an "expert" in a field before you talk about it. All you need to do is have a personal experience and write your posts from that angle.

Storytelling is one act that has held us spellbound from generation to generation. It's in us to love stories.

Storytelling techniques are what the so called eloquent writers/speakers employ to keep us spellbound for as long as they pleased.

So the next time you want to write on a particular topic, think of what fresh perspective you'll be adding to the narrative.
