We dont care if you are happy to be here; we dont know you well enough to care yet. We already know your name and title; the person introducing you told uswe arent stupid! Stop talking about you, you, you. We dont care about you at this stage of our relationship. Instead, tell us something interesting and relevant to us. We care about ourselves. If you address our needs, well be more likely to pay attention to the rest of your speech!” (T. J.

What other mineral has the power to create and the power to destroy? What is good as gold when scarce and cheap as dirt when abundant?nThe answer to all of these questions is salt, the spice of life. Today I would like to look at the importance of salt in history, at how we spice up our lives with salt today, and at the role salt will probably play in the future.nA six-year-old collie lay battered and helpless by the side of the road. The car that hit her had broken her pelvis, dislocated her hip, and smashed her jaw. It had also blinded her, and she whimpered in pain and fear.nUnfortunately, this true story happens much too frequently because of the growing problem of pet overpopulation. Having grown up on a farm with animals of all kinds, I care deeply about their welfare, and I have become aware through my veterinary courses of how serious the problem of pet overpopulation is. nSoap operasnAre you an addict? Do you need a daily fix to keep going? Are you hooked on one of the modern college students most popular escapes from reality?nIm talking, of course, about soap operas. According to Newsweek magazine, students across the land are watching soap operas in record numbers. I dont about you, but in my experience, getting a front-row seat for “The Young and the Restless” in the dorms or the Union is just as tough as getting a seat on the fifty-yard line for football or at center court of basketball!Assignmentsn1.
