Who are you? This question is one we may have asked ourselves in order to find our purpose and our goal.
I listened to a TED talk recently and answered five questions.
TED talk here is only 10 minutes long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVsXO9brK7M
Here are the questions I answered:
1. Who you are?
David Alan Binder
2. What you do?
Write
3. Who you do it for?
Children
4. What those people want or need?
To find a way to deal with problems
5. What did they change or transform as a result?
Give new ways to dream; Give new ways to think beyond the way they do now; Give new tools for coping
These are pretty standards answers for a writer, right?
It is all in the presentation though.
So now when someone asks me, “What do you do?” now rather than say, “I’m a writer.” which does not sound exciting in and of itself.
I can now answer: I give children new ways to dream. I give children new ways to think beyond the way they do now. I give children new tools for coping.
How exciting is that? How wonderful is that? And now the follow-up question has to be, “How do you do that?”
I write children’s books!
