A Fun Movie - Forrest Gump

Repetitive devices throughout the movie anchor messages and images into the hearts and minds of viewers, like an old friend coming home. As a result, certain expressions and scenes are seared in our minds forever and have even become part of pop culture. Good public speakers also use repetition to get their message across so that the audience remembers it. In one particular method that I call 'looping', a speaker paints an image in the introduction and refers to it again in the conclusion, much like the white feather that floats through the air in the opening and closing scenes of Forrest Gump. I once did a speech where I began by talking about some of the world's greatest artists - Picasso, Matisse, Da Vinci - to segue into my topic: the art of listening. In closing, I told a story that illustrated the way effective listening skills were instrumental in a situation of conflict at my job.

Winner of several Toastmasters International speech contests and educator with 20 years of teaching experience, Karen now brings the techniques of professional speakers to boardrooms and classrooms by training and coaching business executives, entrepreneurs, salespeople, teachers and administrators to communicate better. He kissed the smooth wood then gently hung it from a wire attached to a gold-gilded chandelier. The shapely object swayed gently above the master's head. Flickering candlelight danced with the ox-hair brush as the violin received its first of more than twenty fine coats of hot oil varnish. My violin's rust-brown varnish had just finished curing when it was wrapped in fine silk and sent away in a wooden case. Due to highway congestion and no available carrier pigeons, French aviator Henri Seimet was asked to deliver the violin and made the first non-stop airplane flight from Paris to London in three hours.

You have to admit, a lot of things have their chance of success factors, it does not because of your deliberate and closer to the end, it will be when you inadvertently give your efforts to praise one of the most appropriate reward. Loyal to him, so he was alone in the Vietnam War out of danger, he still ran back to the jungle to find his comrades. He was trustworthy, he promised his comrades were to buy a shrimp boat to, but his comrades died, he was incredible in the eyes of others to achieve the wishes of his, also won for themselves great wealth. Forrest Gump is a fun movie. My wife and I were in Savannah, Georgia two summers ago and had our picture taken at the spot where Forrest Gump sat on the bench talking to the lady waiting for the bus. The bench itself had been moved. Gump wasn't a smart a man by the world's standards. He had an IQ of 75. Some would call him stupid and his famous retort was "Stupid is as stupid does." While the world might call the Gump character stupid, he did know what love was.
