|
OK, Jon, it’s time for the
editorial now. Tell them. |
|
| |
No, no, it was your idea.
You tell them. |
No
it wasn’t. Remember?
My
idea was— |
|
| |
WAIT! Don’t tell them that
one.
We may have to use it next
time. |
| Right.
OK. Well, our idea— |
|
| |
Our idea was that if we
would cut out
all the fluff in the
editorial… |
Yeah…
No pompous introductions…
no lofty metaphors… |
|
| |
And no name dropping, right?
Rollo May and Marty Seligman
said
we should stop namedropping… |
Right,
and no namedropping…
and
no self-congratulating… |
|
| |
Boy I am just so pleased we
cut out
the self-congratulating… |
No
personal confessions…
to
tell you the truth,
they
always embarrassed me— |
|
| |
Right, no personal confessions,
just— |
| Just what matters most— |
|
| |
The core of it— |
| The core of the matter… |
|
| |
Voices. Like the title says.
Let them speak for themselves. |
| Simple and beautiful. |
|
| |
So when we cut out all that fluff… |
| You know what was left? |
|
| |
Tell us, Tom, what was left? |
| Nothing. |
|
| |
Nothing. |
| Nothing. |
|
| |
That's
it.
|
| That’s it. |
|
| |
That’s it. |
| Now, do you think
we could stop— |
|
| |
Finishing each other’s sentences?
Why—do you think it's… |
| Codependent? Maybe |
|
| |
Do you think it might be
about performance anxiety? |
| Could be. |
|
| |
Could be. |
