The advent of the Internet and the subsequent proliferation of Internet technologies have opened up many new career opportunities. Let's take a typical scenario. You've always been praised by your friends for your business acumen. More precisely, you've always found yourself to have a keen interest in, and a good understanding of, business matters.

And finally, you've always been excited by the prospect of hosting your very own business talk show on television or radio where you would be the business talk show host at the helm of affairs.

So, are your dreams of becoming a business talk show host about to get crushed forever? Don't despair; the Internet is your savior. It's time to turn your attention towards becoming an Internet business talk show host. An Internet business talk show host? That sure sounds strange!

Recently, I have noticed some of my radio habits when driving in my car. When I'm listening to music I tend to switch radio stations whenever a commercial comes on. When I'm listening to talk radio I tend to leave the dial as is whether I'm listening to a talk show or whether a commercial is playing.I've been thinking about why this is the case and if other radio listeners have the same tendencies as I do. Here is what I think: When I'm in the mood for music, I want to hear music; I don't want to listen to radio advertisements. When I listen to talk radio, I get immersed in the topic being discussed and my concentration is on that topic. A commercial break does not cause me to change the dial. So I end up hearing the ads.Not only do I hear the ads on talk radio, but I also remember them. A high majority of the ads I hear on talk radio are "talk" ads. That is, instead of the usual jingles, the ads normally involve someone talking. So they tend to "blend in" with the show. For example, a recurring ad that I hear is ... [more..]

The old adage "Show your story rather than tell it!" is as true as ever. It is one technique that will always improve your writing. I admit that there is some great writing that makes a precedent for "tell," but as a rule "show" is more effective. Consider this.1. Your pen is your movie camera. In a film, a director ( that's you!) doesn't have an actor go on screen to tell the audience that someone is angry. Instead, he shows the character in a scene where anger is in action.In writing, this means you do not say, "Naomi was angry." You show the action (create a movie picture) that makes it clear: picking up a dish from the drying rack, Naomi throws it across the room; it crashes against the door Henry has just walked through. You may choose to include words (dialog) ("And don't you ever say that to me again!") that underscore the action. But the words should not replace the action.Your writing itself must show as much feeling as there was in life. You don't need to tell the reader that the character was angry or scared if you depict an action that successfully shows that ... [more..]

I am examining the 1998 Jim Carrey film entitled "The Truman Show." This movie is not only filled with metaphors, it is a metaphor itself. I will discuss what the metaphors are in the film, their meaning, and how they tell the story.The purpose of this film is to inspire the audience by relating the life of a certain individual to their own lives with the use of metaphors. Truman is the main character and he is the star of a realty television show. The only problem is that he doesn't know his life is the subject of a television show. He lives in a gigantic studio that encases the population and the land of a small island city called Seahaven. 24 hours a day his life is broadcast live to the rest of the world. In order to keep the show running the crew constantly must find ways to stop him from figuring out his life is a T.V. show and they constantly must stop him from leaving Seahaven. The plot of the movie takes place when Truman decides that nothing is going to stop him from achieving his dreams and becoming a champion and he takes the audience ... [more..]
