Wedding cake-in-the middle of the road It was a big pink cake… covered with strawberries, sprinkled with chocolate flake. It was at least the size of two years a child, iced with enough white chocolate to last for five years. The cake had a soft, spongy base with a row of perfectly positioned strawberries drizzled with chocolate. A miniature replica of the bride and groom stood hand in hand on top of the cake. Already the ants and flies were feasting on the rich icing. One fly was trapped under a giant strawberry. It buzzed wildly as it fought to escape. The smell of the wedding bells lingered, it was almost as if they chimed as soon as you saw the cake, sitting like stubborn donkey in the middle of the road. It was the perfect wedding cake, so big and pink… but amongst the breath taking site and rich odour was a lonely and forgotten memory of a bride and groom – never to be seen again. And as you step closer to the wedding cake, it would reveal itself. A note… stained with the blood of the bride it read… “Until death do us part!”
Try a cliché There’s no such thing as… Anyone can finish this sentence! It’s a cliché; a cliché is language that has lost its freshness and registers with a listener or reader as overused and boring. Although the term cliché is often is used to refer to language that has been overused over a long period of time, it is not necessarily true of older expressions and, by definition, may be true of new language that has been repeated too often. There’s always a reason for a cliché to be use in a certain situation. People often don’t take note of the message behind a cliché. This is different in Public Relations Industry, every word counts and there is a reason for every word. A company that I work for paid a heavy price for ignoring something which we thought was just another cliché. People use cliché to threaten, motivate, praise and to express their feelings. But because people get used to the words in a cliché, they ignore the content and the meaning behind what is being said… Pay attention to small details and try listening to the message behind a cliché…or try a cliché yourself!!!
Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses Having incredibly strengths can lead to incredible weakness. Our bodies and minds are linked together but sometimes these two assets need to remain separate. At times the brain wants something that the heart doesn’t agree with or vice versa. The gift of kindness and generosity in a person is more than often seen as a strength in a person. This point is true… however… the gift of kindness and generosity may satisfy the brain and conscious but it may dissatisfy the heart and body. Sometimes being too kind and generous allows for others to take advantage leaving a person feeling guilt ridden and physically exhausted from not being able to disappoint. The gift of being confident is a strong quality and character building. This allows for easy friend making, a sense of outgoing-ness and a need to impress. This however can allow for others to mistake others, to think a person is over confident, arrogant and insensitive. The gift of being organised and in control is a superior strength which offers basic yet very diligent skills. The strength of being organised allows for structure, control and respect… this however can be a weakness when things become over whelming, out of control and people take advantage. Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses. Why? I don’t know – all I do know is that balance is important. Imparting great strengths is good but for every action there is a reaction and sometimes this is a weakness. Use yourstrengths wisely and they should only lead to greatness…
