Seth Godin's Blog: Speakerphone voice

By
When the speakerphone is on in the conference room, do you talk differently?  by Seth Goldin It's pretty common. We breathe from a different spot, hold our chest differently, constrict our throats and generally try to shout our words across the ocean. The people listening on the speaker are used to it. The people in the room with you, less so. Human beings don't have a long cultural history with microphones. We don't instinctively understand that they actually work. So we shout instead. And shouting changes how we're believed, trusted and ultimately heard. Learning to use a microphone is a great skill. When you speak normally, it turns out that the microphone has plenty of volts, watts and amps on hand to move your voice all the way to Latvia if you want it to. And then your words will actually be heard. Resource:  Godlin, Seth. "Speakerphone Voice. "  Sethgodin Typepad  Last Modified: Nov 11 2017. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2017/...

Thus I longed to be blessed with children. and I got children... but within no time my small apartment made me uncomfortable. I therefore longed for bigger house with garden.

I longed to frequent fasting... yet my health condition won't allow me to do it. I longed for night devotion "Qiya...
