Before about thirty seconds ago, I’ve never heard the phrase ‘it’s all downhill from here’ used as a positive cliche. I guess that just goes to prove there’s always something left to learn.
I have an unfinished post somewhere in my drafts about statistics and Kindle and that kind of good stuff. But I spent Friday and Monday trying to determine how to generate some very specific statistics, so I don’t feel the urge to finish it up now.
I was going to ramble about statistics anyway, just not kindle, but as I started typing I realized that it was even boring to me and I couldn’t fathom why anyone else would want to read it. I’m looking out for you, dear reader. All three of you 😉
Instead I will post this question and leave you to ponder the answer. Actually, don’t ponder the answer too long, but think more about why you answered that way and what it means in the grand scheme of things.
Would you rather watch a movie/mini series that was a fictionalized account of World War II, or a documentary? And keep in mind I’m talking strictly for entertainment purposes. Not much of a history buff? That’s okay, ‘Pearl Harbor’ wasn’t much of a historical movie.
When you’re trying to sell something – an idea, a product, a thought, a piece of fruit, a political candidate – it’s never about the facts, it’s always about what color paper you wrap them in.
I prefer to learn through fiction. Somehow the details get driven into my mind better when there’s a reason (character) to care about them.
Good choice cause you don’t have to suffer through me talking about the general fact that there are statistics that can prove almost anything. But I really should be writing, yet I liked the title of this post.
I didn’t like Pearl Harbor. Just saying. Not my type of movie. I don’t mind learning history but t depends on what I’m learning and the focus on the tale.
