\nAssume the statement is true.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWhat’s your reaction?<\/p>\n
\nWe do NOT respond only to what is being said.
\nWe respond to what is being said AND what-we<\/strong>-add.
\nSo: “The building is falling -and-I-am-in-it<\/strong>“<\/em> is what we respond to.
\n(The leaning Tower of Pizza was ‘falling’ for many, many years, yet people went into<\/strong> it!)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYour job is to find out what is being added each time.
\n(By you<\/strong> as well as others!)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nTake the time to do this!<\/p>\n
