The Magic Of A Few Extra Letters

Down to your last dime? Got something you're trying to market that just isn't clicking with people? Here's a little known, well protected secret. It amounts to an unfair advantage, really. But I'll share it just with you. For free.

Add "pro" to the end of the name of your thing.

Instantly, your endeavor becomes better. Magically, it will become the thing to have. People will snap them up, trust it to perform and forgive it when it doesn't, love it, download the heck out of it and brag about it to their friends. It will trend on Twitter and have its own Facebook group of admirers.

You'll become successful, rich and famous. People will want you on talk shows and publishers will be fighting for the rights to your book. You'll buy an island off the coast of Tahiti and form your own country, which you'll call Proland.

------------------------------------------------

Of course the above is not true. And more than a bit silly. And the names in the visual are fictional. Plus, I made them up.

Sorry for the lame post today. It's been a strange few weeks. I won't bore you with the details but I will say one thing. Like adding a few extra letters like "pro" to the name of a thing doesn't, in itself, make it better; the same goes for people. Sometimes we meet people with a few extra letters after their name who figure those extra letters automatically makes them superior to others. And that gives them the right to treat others like idiots. It doesn't.

    Active Extraordinary person with the insight of a galaxy, yet he holds the sensitivity to feel the heart beat of a flea from one universe to the other.
    We are so blessed to have him reside on our planet. Though he does continue to puzzle the less fortunate in the brain capacity. He toys with them like a cat playing with a mouse. Back and forth his nails flick them into the air then licking them just enough to amuse himself.
    This confuses them to no end! They don't know what to make of our Rand. We know he needs his little play things for it keeps him amused. When he really tires of them we know that he can bit their little insignificant head right off. Poof. yuk. little phd and md's mofm's are not tasty.

  2. Sounds like you should stay away from those people with extra letters -- or find one who has "PRO" after their name? Wishing you the best. You make us laugh, I hope you're laughing too!

  3. Thanks Tamaya and Linda. One bad apple in a good batch, unfortunately at a bad time and of a threatening nature. Appreciate your kind and encouraging words. :)

  4. some friends and I are seriously thinking of taking over a very small town that is still considered so and all moving to it. then invite other people that we find interesting to come live in this small town. A town of very few rules, a town full of thinking artists, visual sculptors for sure! hehe writers , poets get my drift>. anyway Our thought is this way we can all be in walking so so distance of each other thus be able to assist when necessary. You get sick we'll feed you soup. I have a numb day and people call to make me laugh.
