I love those three words. They resonate with my spirit.
And they contain a great communication lesson as well.
Ambiguity.
If I said… “Oh Allah” i would appeal to Muslims and Muslims alone.
If I sad… “Oh Jesus” ‘ i would appeal to Christians and Christians alone.
Once upon a time someone asked Napoleon Hill…
“Dr. Hill, when you say ‘Infinite Intelligence’ are you talking about God?”
“Of course, I am” he said.
“But if I have students all over the world and so I want to use a phrase that they can all resonate with so I am able to serve them all and drive none away.”
- Ambiguity
- specificity
…2 tools we can all use with even more skill as we continue to use our words to create a better world
