Just wondering when this discussion will resume itself to PhotoReading, Einstein Factor, NLP.....any advice that might help someone on this forum?
Well spoken (typed?) Sandy! I agree fully. In response to YP's original post, I think photoreading is such a valuable skill that any opportunity to pique people's curiosity and initiate in them a desire to learn the process must be taken advantage of to the fullest.
YP is also correct (in my estimation) that the most effective way to grow interest in PR is by example. If you simply tell people about photoreading it will never interest them.
I know this from experience. The way things are normally done and what is considered normal or possible is so deeply imprinted on the minds of many people such that they are UNABLE to consider even the possibility that something can be done differently. This is evidenced by the way that people instantly question the effectiveness of the program (and not the method) when you tell them about it. It is better to keep quiet about PR and let the facts speak for themselves. What you are able to do is something that few people are able to do -- and it is noticeable. When their curiosity has finally reached the boiling point, they will ask you how you do it (How do you know so much about this subject, how do you know so much about this book, how do you find the time to read as much as you do, etc...) and when you tell them, they will believe and they will want to know more. This is because by then they will have already seen proof enough that it works, and their only question then will be "how?".
It is at that point that a true opportunity to teach has presented itself, and must be used...
