So true!
I’m always amazed by how many people think it’s enough to just speak the truth – they don’t understand that if they can’t get it out there in a way people will listen to, it doesn’t matter.
Just like building a better mousetrap. It doesn’t matter how good it is, unless you can convince people that they need it.
Sorry but I disagree strongly. The truth is the truth, even if no one will believe you, and it does matter. There is a difference between “truth” which is a factual event, and the “truthiness” we create around it by interpreting or ignoring facts by using our individual filters.
For example, 50% of the people executed for murder in Illinois prior to the review project a few years ago were innocent. To them it may not make a difference but does that mean the matter is irrelevant? Or take the opposite case: is OJ Simpson NOT a murderer because he was cleared by the courts?
Cheers,
