Just take a minute......
 
Please just take a minute to look at this.

YouTube - The Power of Words

It was sent to me yesterday, I think it is lovely.....too lovely not to share.
So just take minute out of your busy life and watch it. Please.

What a beautiful little film, so much so in fact that by the time I'd taken in the ending properly I'd forgotten who it was advertising.

Still, it's given me food for thought.

Ken, I like it and thought it was relevant to what sometimes gets posted on here....sometimes there are acrimonious postings purely because someone has not considered the impact that their words might have.........and I include myself in this...of course we are all human.
It made me think....and I felt it was good enough to share even though it is some sort of advertising.
It is good advertising because it does what it sets out to do....and that is to consider how you are sending your message.

I am just waiting for some cynical person to post the question......'If he is blind...who wrote his sign?'.......and the answer is......does it matter?

Oh hek, Margaret, brought a tear to my eyes that one.

Yes Cashy.......I think we travel through life unaware of our impact on the lives of others.

Re: Just take a minute......
 
Kate, you aren't the first one to admit to that.
It is poignant.....on a lot of levels.
One of which I have mentioned in the previous post, but another one is, that we take for granted so many things that we should be thankful for.

I thought this thread was going to sink like a brick budgie.
Glad it has had some attention.

Cracking piece of advertising. It certainly worked for me, as I went and had a shufty at Purple Feather's website. I might even send off for their top ten copywriting tips and find out where I've been going wrong for the last 40 years! ;)

Re: Just take a minute......
 
So I have done some good then Mr H.:)

Re: Just take a minute......
 
Yes indeed, Margaret, although probably a bit late in the day for me. Must admit, I wish I'd thought of it!
