<p>&#8220;The truth isn&#8217;t the truth until people believe you, and they can&#8217;t believe you if they don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re saying, and they can&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re saying if they don&#8217;t listen to you, and they won&#8217;t listen to you if you&#8217;re not interesting, and you won&#8217;t be interesting unless you say things imaginatively, originally, freshly.&#8221;—<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bernbach">William Bernbach</a>, famed American copywriter</p>
<p>In sum, to be interesting you have to say things in ways other people don&#8217;t—but can still relate to. To be heard, you have to say interesting things as often and in as many places as possible. To be understood, you have to communicate clearly. And to tell the truth, you have to tell the truth, which can be found in everything. For example, Satan is undeniably &#8220;the most evil man in the world,&#8221; so if you are ever hired by the devil to sell more immorality, brand him as such in a creatively loud way and you&#8217;re gold.</p>
