The Most Important People in The World

Who are the most important people in the World?
Storytellers.

I do not use the word “most” often as it’s ambiguous sometimes when referring to unprovable terms. Who the most important people are is never going to be provable. So why “most?” Because it’s disagreeable and so is the rest of the entry not highlighted in yellow, and now, we have just created a story of yellows and non-yellows. *Winks*

What would the world be if no one wrote an account of what happened in the past?
What if Socrates did not teach Plato what he knew, then Plato will surely not be Aristotle’s mentor and in turn, Aristotle will surely not be Alexander the Great’s mentor…and history would have changed.

What if Aristotle did not write down what he thought about and pass the knowledge he has gained down to future generations, how would have physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology, zoology, morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics have evolved to become? It’s anyone’s guess and mine is, I don’t really know but I would think it would be very much different.

But one thing is for sure, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are storytellers. If you have read books on them, you would have known that the way they teach is not dry “Textbook” style, they are written in the forms of stories.

What a Storyteller does

What a storyteller can do, can be as profound as writing the story of Atlantis in hundreds of pages to paint in the mind of readers through words, a city we may never know really existed, but deep in our minds we really hope so that such a fantastic place really did existed.

This kind of storyteller tells you the story in full so that you can learn.

What a story teller can do, can be as simple as adding the title, “the Great”, after Alexander’s name. Alexander will be just a normal guy call Alexander if the storyteller did not add “the Great” behind. We don’t really need to know what Alexander did to know he is someone important. We know he’s someone important just by what people call him, Alexander the Great.

What’s in a name? Eric is just Eric, but Eric the Red is someone powerful. Who’s Peter? Peter the Great. Who’s Vlad? Vlad the impaler. Who’s Erik? Erik the Viking. Who’s Eric? Eric the King (Cantona) Who’s Genghis? Genghis Khan. Who’s Zhuge Liang? The Sleeping Dragon.

This kind of storyteller hints you about the story in bits so that you can imagine.

What are you known as?
What story can you tell?

Be a storyteller, the most important people in the world who are able to tell a story and make people want to learn.

RANT:
Don’t teach Magic to sell wands, tell the story about Harry Potter and you don’t need to sell them, people want to buy them, your job is to give them what they want.
