The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Work that others are compelled to tell us how it affected them.

Whether that’s a word of thanks.

Or a pat on the back.

Or a nod of appreciation.

Well, I recently saw a ‘review’ that has to be the best show of appreciation ever made.

How about that then?

As compliments go, that is outrageously good isn’t it.

Especially the bit that says, “Above and beyond anything that is yet to be written”.

That’s right, the reviewer is saying this book is better than anything that we will ever read for eternity.

ETERNITY.

Even Donald Trump doesn’t have confidence like that.

Now we all know reviews – or positive word-of-mouth – are very important today, so the question is, did the best review of a book ever made make me buy the book?

Nope … because the irony is when someone is too positive about something, it’s more likely to make you suspicious of their tastes than desperate to investigate their passions.

And that’s why I still love planning after so bloody long … because part of it is investigating the madness of humanity rather than selling the sensibleness of robots.

Even if clients would rather it was the other way around.
