Start with this thought: Your professional, financial, and personal success depends to a great extent on your ability to articulate. People who are more adept with using words -- the Articulates -- are more successful financially and socially. Their incomes are higher, they live better, and they are happier in their relationships. In short, articulate individuals, families, organizations, and countries -- those that can think and communicate most clearly and quickly -- rule the world.This book is about how the Articulates rise above the rest -- and how you can become an Articulate and join their ranks.
When I bounced the idea of an accidental life off Jim Browne, my financial manager with a keen understanding of the human condition, he said that all of us benefit from serendipity, from the accidental life. (We in fact met by happy accident.) He added that my life was and is typical, or perhaps a tad off the norm. Surely he's correct in that we all benefit from fortuitous events, but I think he's incorrect in that such events in my life are typical or normal. I feel quite strongly, and without a scintilla of evidence, that I outrank most other people in both number and impact of life-changing events, or, perhaps, I am just more aware of them. I'm betting that you'll agree after you read about the many accidental happenings that shaped my life and, by extension, my writings. Enjoy and, I hope, relate.
