"Think Beyond Words" Exercise


  • Freshman quarterback starts in college football game
  • Child Genius Becomes multi-millionaire

These two stories I heard were in completely different locations.  I heard about the college quarterback starting in a football game while watching that football game.  To some this event could be a huge shock that one would not think possible.  However, because it was not glorified by social media it was not as interesting as a 13 year old boy becoming a multi-millionaire due to his genius invention.  The difference between the latter and the starting freshman quarterback was the amount of social media coverage.  The little boy got a lot more social media coverage and therefore, affected the audience's perspective of the story.  If these two stories were switched and the quarterback got more social media coverage than the little boy then the quarterback's story would most likely be even greater of a feat.
