One Percent Better Joe Ferraro

Human beings regularly speak 15,000 words a day.
This reality makes it impossible to communicate perfectly. 
Luckily, perfection isn't the goal, connection is.
This week I invite you to eliminate an entire category of language: diminishing language. 
Take the compliment. Say thank you. Tell someone: "I made this for you." 
Watch your conversations bloom and your connections deepen.
