"The quality of your life is the quality of your communication... to others... but mostly to ourselves"-Anthony Robbins

I recently came across a wonderful video on Ted.com by Simon Sinek. 
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html

In the video he discussed his idea of a Golden Circle of communication.  He claims that most of us tell people what, some explain the how, and rarely share the why.  His research led him to believe that successful people and companies actually reverse the communication process.  They tell you the why, then the how, and lastly the what.  In the video he provides and examples of how Apple communicates their ideas versus others.

I thought about this blog when I listened to Simon and decided to brainstorm these for myself.  My thoughts are:
- Why:  I believe in improving how people think about the things they are exposed to
- How:  The way I change they way people think is by offering a quote, providing a related discussion, and posing a question to ponder in this blog.
- What: I just happen to share the messages through this blog.  They could be presented as a book, speech, training seminars, etc.
