A talent:
Cut the crap. Go for the guts.
Look them in the eyes and give it clear and straight.
Smiling. Non-threatening. No requirement for self-vindication.
A new approach, temporary so perhaps bearable:
State the obvious.
Include mind-numbing detail.
Be excessively humble, risk appearing servile.
Look them in the eyes and give it clear and straight.
Smiling. Non-threatening. No requirement for self-vindication.
Cos now I am a student again, and will be treated like one.
I am learning a new discipline; the focus is THERE, not on a wider bundle of strengths.
Behave well.
Good evening!
ReplyDeleteJust been reading through your posts - I've missed lots! Thank you.
Here's a good tip if you're looking for evocative and exciting percussive moments:
Go to the local hardware store / ironmongers and buy a metal bucket (silver). What a wonderful piece of craftsmanship (made on machine no doubt) so highly resonant, that the merest stroke of the fingertips across any part sounds like a mysterious stage whisper. Shake some sleigh bells inside it - whooaa! - or half fill with water and shake the bells half in the water pulling them up and letting them drip and mic up the resultant sounds... These are good prayer sounds!
So that's what I'm up to at the moment!
