Rules
#1: search your feelings
#2: ponder your personal experience
#3: avoid premature enumeration
#4: step back and enjoy the view
#5: get the backstory
In the movie A Few Good Men, there's a line from Kaffee when they are preparing for a defendant's court:
"This is about a sales pitch. It's not going to be won by the law. It's gonna be won by the lawyers."
I find that line inspiring while reading this book
