The end result is the tapper feels like it is obvious because he already has the information, and the listener feels like it is challenging because the information is missing. <BR/><BR/>I think the natural showman has this “knowledge” and feels that everyone else should have this knowledge at birth, or they simply can’t be a great entertainer that connects with an audience. He isn’t wrong necessarily because his reality is valid to him. They brush right over the fact that not everyone thinks like them. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately we can site hundreds of examples to the contrary. The good news is it can be learned. So maybe he’s born with it, but then maybe its Maybelline! (chheeeessssyyy!!!)<BR/><BR/>Great post as always.TESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034795787970449606noreply@blogger.com
