Yeah!!!!
IMO perception is quite important. Me thinks many really have no
clue including me just how far the lingo has/can go. High profile
examples that sell the sizzle rather than steak per se. Actually
I do know it is limitless. I guess what I am saying examples that
make ppl think cool I just need to learn how to do that. Then
play it forward. I the face examples are always good. I think many
simply feel their brains might melt.. ;)
