Tell Me a Story - Late Don Hewitt video
Watch CBS News Videos Online I saw this on 60 Minutes in celebration of Don Hewitt, "Hewitt's Success Secret". It's a bit late to post this link, since this clip was shown back in August, but after having attended a couple conferences where people I met didn't see this video, I thought it would be a good idea to post the link. Don Hewitt, the founder of 60 Minutes, stated that his motto was 'tell me a story'. It was the premise for the show, news in the form of a story. I especially like the part where he says 'even the people in the Bible were smart enough to know, tell them a story..."
Personally I like telling stories, especially Bible stories. Stories engage listeners and tellers alike.
If you haven't seen this video, I hope you enjoy it.
