Joe Romm's article seems to give the reader the key to success in life. Who doesn't want to be remember for their ideas and/or writing? The articles main idea is the explanation of how people make their selves remembered for ages. Of some of those people Joe uses for examples are; Jesus, Lady Gaga, and Churchill. The article explains and proves that, in fact, who doesn't remember these three people? The act of repetition and rhyming are keys to making headlines or music extremely memorable.
"Few skills are more important for
success at work and life than the ability to be persuasive and
memorable. And yet the tricks for effective speaking and writing, which have been known for twenty-five centuries and verified by modern social science research, are hardly taught today."
This passage made the most impact on me, because at my job being memorable and persuasive is essential to moving up to a promotion.
