Thoughts Design: Steve Webb | Photo: Jessica Delp Gray hairs These days, much of my hair is gray. Not all of it yet, but a lot of it. I remember several years ago when I was getting my hair cut, that I looked down at the black drape that my barber had put around me to keep the hair off my clothes, and I had to comment that I didn’t like the color she had chosen to use. The black of the drape really showed how much gray hair I now have. Mind you, it’s not all gray yet, but it seems like every time I go for a haircut there is more and more. I guess I shouldn’t feel so bad about it, though, based on Proverbs 16:31. “Gray hair is a glorious crown; it is found in the way of righteousness.” I know that the Lord is not at all interested in flattering us, but verses like this sure do help to ease the process of getting older. Fools So today we learned that God really detests liars and dishonest business practices, impatient and easily angered people, disloyal and unfaithful friends, and much more. Of course, that is no surprise, but remember that Proverbs was given to us as a guide, or a course on how to gain wisdom. It’s filled with examples that contrast the wise with the fool. Grayhairs Ron Ploof Doing What He Does Best: Telling Stories And given its purpose, it must be possible to learn wisdom. Of course that is true, because most of the wise people I have known are those who have been down the road a piece. They are the, as my good friend Ron Ploof of Griddlecakes Radio says, “the grayhairs”. Have you ever noticed how unusual it is to find a young person with wisdom? It can happen, but you don’t often walk away from a conversation with a young person saying, “What wisdom!” So if your answer to my question at the beginning of the show was that there are more foolish people than wise, be encouraged. Fools can learn to be wise. What they need is guidance from the Master. My encouragement to you is to be the wise person who is available to those that need wisdom, so that you can point them to the Source of wisdom.

Ron is a guy with many talents, but his passion is story telling. As a matter of fact, he created one of the the first story telling podcasts. It’s called Griddlecakes Radio in case you’re interested. I recommend it highly. Ron wrote a book not long ago called the Proverb Effect. I’m going to steal a bit from the description of his book on Amazon. (If you’re someone who speaks in front of people, you should check it out.) What do the following statements have in common? Slow and steady wins the race (Aesop, ~550 BC)Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today (Chaucer, late 1300s)Stupid is as stupid does (Gump, 1994) They’re all proverbs—the ultimate long-stories short that convey more meaning than the words used to construct them. They’re universally human, independent of time, culture, and language. They’re policies for making better life decisions, passed from the experienced to the inexperienced. And while it’s tempting to dismiss them as droll or trite, doing so just underestimates the roles they play in both human understanding and teaching. Of course, we know that proverbs have been around for thousands of years, which is a testament to their effectiveness. I am very much looking forward to sharing the book of Proverbs with you. The book of Proverbs in the Bible was written by King David’s son, Solomon. Solomon is commonly thought of as the wisest man, and the richest man who ever lived. His wisdom was a gift given to him by God as a result of the prayer he made upon his ascension to the throne at the death of his father, David. Instead of asking for wealth or victory over his enemies, or power, he prayed a simple prayer asking for wisdom to lead God’s people. God was so pleased by Solomon’s prayer that He not only granted him great wisdom, but He gave Solomon the things he could have asked for but didn’t. The book of Proverbs is primarily a collection of short, often just single sentence teachings, or nuggets of truth. They are thoughts and ideas that God revealed to Solomon. Remember, it has long been the belief by orthodox Christianity that the Bible was written by men as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit. So these are not merely the thoughts of a wise man, but they are from the mind of God Himself. The first chapter’s introduction tells us that these proverbs will benefit anyone who heeds their teachings, and anyone who does not is a fool who will come to destruction. It tells us that we will learn wisdom if we put them into practice in our own lives. It also introduces a character who will be recurring throughout the book. And that is the personification of wisdom as a woman. In verse 20 we see Wisdom shouting in the streets and marketplace, chiding those who refuse to listen to her teaching and encouraging those who will, to listen. Much of the teaching is directed at one of Solomon’s sons, so the teaching is especially applicable to a young person just starting out in life, but the lessons (as noted earlier) are good for everyone.
On this week's episode of The Freenoter, Tom and Tamsen go deeper into story structure, the purpose of stories, and DO YOU EVEN NEED STORIES, BRO? They also spotlight the great work of Nick Morgan and his research on the types of stories. And finally, they introduce a cocktail so terrible, they couldn't even bring themselves to make it.

I love wordplay. You've heard me say things like, "storytelling is the Velcro of collaboration" or "an anecdote is the antidote". I’m just using the storytelling powder keg of proverbs to make an explosive impact. But I never realized the power of these tiniest of stories until I read Ron Ploof’s new book, The Proverb Effect: Secrets to Creating Tiny Phrases That Change the World. What's the difference between a parable and a proverb? And, how can you use them in your business? Ron has spent decades using the power of storytelling in business, and in fact was one of our first guests on the Business of Story a few years ago sharing how to create a pitch-perfect story. On this week's show, Ron is going to show you how you can use proverbs, the tiniest of stories, to make your points stick. After all, there's something to be said about the fact that proverbs are remembered for centuries: Two wrongs don't make a right. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Fortune favors the bold. Short and simple, yet so impactful. That's something we should work harder to apply to our own business storytelling communications. Tune in to hear how you can create your own proverbs to convey your stories with less words. And don't forget "the benefit rule", meaning the proverb is always useful for the listener immediately.
