Day 3825: What captures our attention

People who want to sell us something spend a lot of time and money trying to figure out what captures our attention.

Based on the latest news story that captured our attention (the missing submersible Titan), what captures our attention includes:

  • danger,
  • hope,
  • novelty,
  • money,
  • adventure,
  • mystery,
  • controversy,
  • hubris,
  • mistakes,
  • strong emotion, and
  • lack of closure.

Now that the story has ended, tragically, I assume that something else will capture our attention.

What captures your attention in my images for today?

Here’s what I find when I search for what captures our attention on YouTube.

What captures my attention includes you and your comments. Many thanks for your attention, here and now.

Day 130: The more we let go of fear, the better we can connect with each other

This post is dedicated to my ex-business partner, Jonathan (with whom I had the privilege to do some wonderful video, print, and radio advertising work in the late 80’s and early 90’s).

When Jonathan and I were working on a project — where we wanted to communicate to people how important and helpful something was — we would say to each other:

Don’t bury the lead.

In other words:  Don’t wait to communicate the important message.  Say it as soon as you can.

This concludes today’s blog post, ladies and gentlemen.  Thank you, so much, for reading.
