Dress for success.

I'm flattered. How could it be any different?
I don't deny I did sit down and try to prepare something worth reading on my mom's wedding, especially because I hate it when people do their speeches and:
a) they're drunk as hell, so they can barely speak, let alone say something useful for the situation;
b) they talk for hours and hours and
c) end up saying more than they should, sometimes revealing a bit more than anyone cares to know.
But I was so overwhelmed by the response that I didn't even know what to say. Everyone was weeping, and the people I respect the most were hugging me and giving me congratulations for what I said. Especially my mom and her husband.
Someone asked me whether it was all marketing, because I made some stupid comment like "oh, now just wait till I try to sell you some shampoos!" They asked jokingly, but I kind of think it does hold some truth.
The contents of the speech were very true, I couldn't write something like that without really meaning it. But the way you write something plays such a role on how people will identify or understand it. And I'm certain I've learned a lot studying and working with communication.

Yes, uncle McLuhan. The media is indeed the message.

I think I know what my goal in life is. I've been thinking about it a lot and this kind of situation make even more sure.

My goal in life is to communicate, as well as I am able to.

While that is vague, I think it's really something worth living for, in a world where people kill and die every day simply because they can't understand each othery, or don't even try to "translate" (sometimes even to the same language) what they really mean.
