@ThaBoyYom It's not a sin, but abusing the substance or relying on it for survival(being addicted) is the problem. Some (many) also rely on food for eg. That's the problem.
20 sentences that make you a more persuasive writer and communicator
There’s a distinct line that separates people who communicate to deaf ears, and those who rile up crowds with words that drip with a kind of catnip.
Writing well makes for a powerful online brand that will grow your tribe.
Here are some quick bites of knowledge that will help you write and communicate in a way that will make people sit up and take notice:
• Use assertive language, even if you aren’t sure of the point - you say it like you’ve purged all the doubt.
• People love to be entertained with humour where appropriate.
• People are more interested in a larger-than-life version of you where you emphasise some of the characteristics that are unique and interesting about you.
• Vary the lengths of your sentences to great texture, which leads to a more intriguing experience.
• Publish what you create even if it isn't perfect because the ultimate form of persuasiveness is showing up and shipping regularly.
• End your paragraphs and points on a hard-hitting final statement that ruffles feathers and/or motivates the crap out of your reader.
• Telling stories will engage the brain and make your words more persuasive and memorable.
• Acknowledge your reader or listener where you can to show that you understand what they’re going through to deepen your connection.
• Write about things that make you emotional and things that are often on your mind.
• Use examples, including stories, images, and even anecdotes to add an extra layer to your point, which helps it lodge in the mind for your listener or reader.
• When you write or speak, find a way to relax into the flow of it so that readers connect to your living, breathing humanness.
• It’s not about being superior to your reader, but about showing how you are human so they can see themselves in you.
• Be polarising and willing to upset some people because those who respond positively are more likely to be loyal.
• Good writing isn’t about writing, it’s about stirring the soul of a reader.
• Cut out every unnecessary word.
• Leave vanilla communications and topics for Jonny Wimp, and bring courage to everything you write.
• Treat every thing you write as an opportunity to change the world in a profound way.
• Appeal to all the senses by describing sounds, smells, scenes, colours and sensations.
• Say things few people have the courage to say, even if it makes you sweat a little.
• Stick the knife in the wound by amplifying the pain before providing relief with a solution.
• Your reader is scared and vulnerable and is craving a leader to take them from a known problem to a solution, so give it to them.
