Do you have an idea that can change the world?

Ideas are like a product life cycle

We develop an idea ,growth and reach its maturity stage and it finally declines. But we need to keep reinventing and constantly working to sustain the idea.

Keep Reinventing

Ideas need to be communicated well

One of the best ways is Story telling

WHY IS STORY TELLING IMPORTANT?

•Stories have been used for years to pass on traditions, or to teach morals

•Stories form part of culture

•Storytelling brings out emotions in people, sadness, happiness, justice etc and influences them subconsciously

•Stories are a form of entertainment

•As humans: everyone interprets stories differently and whether subconscious or conscious, these affect our choices in life and make us better people

People emotionally react to stories

Some talks inspire some talks make u sleep..
