Williams style

Guess who's back
Back again
J-Roc's back
Tell a friend
Guess who's back
guess who's back
guess who's back
guess who's back

And that's good enough for me. Ok, what I got out of reading this book and from class is that style is not just as easy as proper grammer and spelling,but saying what you mean correctly. Clarity, if you will, is the name of the game. I'm going to take a passage from a column of mine, and try to dissect this and let you know what I'm saying.

"You might say I love coaching, but you’d be wrong. I’m passionate about it. Passion and love have similarities, but they are two different things. There are many kinds of love (agape, brotherly, romantic) but only one kind of passion. Love may make you think about a person for hours on end, but passion can make you talk one subject for hours on end, and you won’t even notice. You may to go to sleep with some one because you love them, but passion sometimes is the only thing makes it worth it to get out of bed in the morning. Passion makes you crazy to the outside world, but sane to yourself. Love makes you change. Passion transforms you. I have transformed for coaching and running."

I do love to coach, but you would be wrong to say that. I am passionate about coaching. Passion and love are very similar, but they are two seprate ideas. There are many kinds of love, but there are not many types of passion. Passion has only one defintion, where as love has many different ones. For example, love may make you think about someone when they are not even there, but having passion about something will make you talk on the subject more than you wanted to, because you are very excited about it. Love for someone will make you "go to bed" (don't make me get graphic here, Steve), but when you have passion about something, when you feel terrible and you don't really want to go on anymore, passion about something makes it worth it to care on with yourself. Your dedication and passion to something may make you seem weird and crazy to other people, but seems very normal to you. You will change your ways for someone you love, even though you might not want to. Passion will make you change your ways and you will want too. I have changed my ways because I wanted to change my ways for coaching and running.

done like dinner.
