When you whisper in someone’s ear, they act a certain way. They lean forward, close into your cupped hand. Sometimes they close their eyes. They concentrate to hear what you’re saying. They feel empowered. It must be a secret. They’re privileged.
When you shout, people put their hands over their ears. They go into protection mode. They’re not really listening.
Both whispering and shouting are like advertising in the post mass media era.
Smart start ups whisper their message to the people who care.
If you whisper, maybe they’ll tell someone else. Who’ll tell someone else…..They can’t resist. Maybe the story will change a little or get embellished. Is that such a bad thing?
What’s that old saying…”empty vessels make the most noise”.
But then, “squeaky wheel gets the most grease”. Although…the bible says “God helps those who helps themselves”.
I’m confused.
