You want people walking away from the conversation with some kernel of wisdom or some kind of impact.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.
When you're trying to come up with a good approach to reporting on the bleeding edge of where the conversation's moving, you're just leaving a lot of people who aren't on the bleeding edge of that conversation out.
Wisdom may best arise from a humbling reality.
There's a real wisdom to not saying a thing.
Whether a plane to Singapore, a subway in Manhattan, or the streets of Cincinnati, I search for meaningful conversation wherever I may travel. Without it, I believe we lose the ability to not only understand others, but more importantly, ourselves.
True wisdom listens more, talks less and can get along with all types of people.
If you don't get out among the people, how are you going to know what they need to hear about?
We've learned a bunch of things; when you send a message to people, keep those messages short. Imagine walking up to a girl in a bar and going into a four-minute speech about how great you are. No one wants to hear that.
If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.
I want people to talk to one another no matter what their difference of opinion might be.
