One of my brothers has recently begun to consider the ways in which one's choice of words is important. He's been reading a new book, The Stylelife Challenge [sic], and began insisting i "should read it", to which my reaction was, No way, i don't have time to read that. After briefly contemplating my response he chose to rephrase his instruction, this time articulating the many merits of the book and then simply recommending it - Hmm, i'll check it out next time i go to the bookstore. He attributes his incipient appreciation for elocution to this book.
What can i say? I think the book is silly in a general sense, but the kid makes a good point about something i haven't consciously thought of for some time. Choice and delivery are crucial to success.
