Mitul and Mitali had another fight tonight. Although their marriage was peaceful, sometimes there was a flare-up due to Mitali’s bitter nature. Mitali was very good but when she got angry, she used very bitter language. Her language was such that it would hurt the other person. But Mitul was used to this, so he kept quiet. But today, Mitali crossed the line. She said things that were not meant to be spoken. Mitul was also completely exhausted. Finally, tired of the fight, both of them fell asleep at 2:30 in the morning.
When Mitali opened her eyes in the morning. He was wearing a helmet on his head and was reciting Hanuman Chalisa from a booklet in his hand. Mitali blinked in surprise. Mitul and Hanuman Chalisa? And that too wearing a helmet? What’s the need for a helmet in the room?
He immediately said to Mitul, “Hey, did you get drunk in one night? Why are you sitting like this wearing a helmet and holding a religious book in your hand? Your health is fine, boss!!…”
Mitul also replied with a smile, “Your health is fine, but in the morning, I am wearing a helmet to protect my brain from your bitter words and I am reciting Hanuman Chalisa to gather the courage for a new fight….” Saying this, he started reciting further, “Ghosts and demons will not come near, when Mahavir recites his name…”
And Mitali laughed. He took off the helmet from Mitul’s head and apologized while running his hands through his hair. After that, Mitali’s language improved. She became really gentle.
How good was Mitul’s idea?
What did he do?
Instead of presenting his point directly, he presented it in a dramatic way. When you present your idea in a dramatic way, it has a real impact. When something is presented in a dramatic way, it leaves a deep impression on the mind of the other person and the message in it is remembered by him for a long time.
There are many such occasions in our daily life in which we present our point or idea directly. Many times it does not even have a special impact on the other person. In such places, the idea can be presented in a dramatic way. And accurate results can be obtained.
In kindergartens, large plastic or wooden figures and letters are given to children to play with to give them an understanding of numbers and numbers. This is also a very effective method of education. Dramatic presentation. Instead of introducing written letters directly, a dramatic representation of them creates a very good effect. To introduce vegetables, one child can dress up as a cucumber, another as a potato, and a third as a cucumber. This is also a dramatic presentation.
Since the subconscious mind stores information for eternity, the information received in this way is remembered by the person forever.
If you want to become a good speaker, then you should remember this especially. Instead of presenting any topic or concept simply, you should add as much dramatic element as possible to it. The topic should be presented in a dramatic way through the use of models related to the topic, continuous interaction with the audience and hand and body movements. The topic presented in this way can create a predictable effect on the audience, the speaker who does not do this, no matter how much useful information there is in his speech, it does not have a special impact on the audience. In total, the purpose of the speaker’s speech is not achieved. In my workshop, when it comes to understanding the importance of rupees, I use Rs. 500 or 1000 notes to explain the point.
Apart from this, in our public speaking workshop, we also give people a special project that is “Present your point in a dramatic way.” At that time, some people use a lot of creativity.
For example, one of our friends, Sameerbhai Pandya, had to give a speech on the topic of “Water Saving”. So, he came on stage with a glass of water filled. Coming on stage, he stood still for a while and looked at everyone. Then he started drinking the water in the glass. After drinking half a glass of water, he made an action of pouring the extra water on the stage. He let three-four drops of water pour and then said. “Hey? What am I doing? Half a glass of water can save someone’s life and I am wasting it?” Saying this, he placed the glass on the table and continued his speech amidst the thunderous applause of the audience.
Another friend had to speak on the topic of “Citizens’ Traffic Sense”. He came on stage wearing a helmet and gave the entire speech wearing a helmet.
One brother went too far. He was supposed to give a speech on the “Benefits of Walking”. He had prepared himself. He had brought his treadmill from home. He brought the treadmill to the stage and gave the entire speech while walking on the treadmill and wiping his sweat with a napkin.
Just think, how effective it becomes to present a topic in such a nice dramatic way?
Why does a shopkeeper decorate his shop? Why should he bother to decorate? Can’t he just sit there with all the things piled up on one side? When a customer comes, he should just ask and bring out the thing he wants. Doesn’t this work? No, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work, the shop has to be decorated. It’s not enough for the product to be good, the presentation of the product should also be good. The decoration of the shop is just a dramatic presentation of the products.
Every night, Dipeshbhai would read a book while sleeping. His little son Dhruv would be playing various games next to him. Dipeshbhai would tell him to go to bed every day, but Dhruv would have to wake up. Dipeshbhai would explain that son, there is school in the morning, he has to wake up early – come and sleep. But Dhruv would not sleep. Dipeshbhai would explain to Dhruv the science of incomplete sleep and full sleep, but Dhruv would not understand it. He had to wake up.
One day, Dipeshbhai had a great idea. When Dhruv was not sleeping at night, he said to him, “Do you know, if you go to bed early at night, you will get how much energy?” Dhruv asked, “How much energy will you get?” So Dipeshbhai filled a glass of milk from the jug lying next to him and showed it to him – if you get this much energy. And then he drank half a glass of milk himself and again showed it to Dhruv and said, “And if you stay up late, you will get this much energy.” Dhruv was amused. The idea was firmly established in his mind that sleeping early gives more energy and sleeping late gives less. The thing that Dhruv had not understood for months, he now understood in half a minute. The reason? The reason is that Dipeshbhai presented the matter in a dramatic way.
When a thing or thing is presented in a dramatic way, the value of that thing or thing changes in the mind of the other person. He starts seeing it in a different way. Let’s take the example of potato chips. A few years ago, potato chips were sometimes used as a snack at home. Sometimes they were fried and used for snacks. But a few years ago, a fruit vendor made a dramatic presentation of it. They were fried and packed. The packet was also made so beautiful that you don’t even have to ask. Colorful design, a photo of a clean and big size chip, and a decent look.
Potato chips now became ‘potato chips’. They started selling in packaging. Also, different flavors and sodium were added to them. For example, lemon, mint, tomato, salted, spices, etc. Moreover, each company producing them gave its own different and effective ‘brand names’. Apart from this, to please the children, cartoon stickers, tattoos and all the like are made from its parts. As a result, the same thing that was not asked for any price has now reached a market worth billions of rupees. Katariben’s fortune has opened up…! Well, today it is amazing to present it in a dramatic way.
If you pay attention to the advertisements in newspapers and TV, you will see how the original product is presented in a dramatic way! To show the function of a detergent soap better, dialogues like “Bhala iski saree meri saree se yada safed kaise?” are used to touch on the tendency of humans to stay ahead in competition. What does it mean to show mosquitoes as monsters or to show that insects are ruining your teeth by making an animation of insects and showing a scene where they are attacking all your teeth and gums! It’s just that people are not interested in understanding the product in a straightforward way. If it is presented in a dramatic way, people will happily watch and even buy it.
Showing scenes of special medical laboratories and skin tests to recommend the use of a face cream, showing that a team of experts is doing research, and showing that a skin specialist is recommending this cream is also a dramatic presentation. This creates a feeling in the mind of the viewer that taking care of the facial skin is a very serious and necessary matter.
Showing a famous cricketer or film star in an advertisement for a soft drink, doing a life-saving stunt, is also a dramatic presentation of the drink. – And such presentations are bound to have an impact.
Some time ago, a balm manufacturing company gave every medical store a model of a bottle made of punta, about ten times larger than the balm bottle, which was displayed in the drug stores. This increased the sales of that balm. In our country, instead of the groom directly reaching the bride’s house and getting married, he reaches the bride’s house on horseback, accompanied by a band, on public roads, playing music, in a wedding procession. Isn’t that also a dramatic presentation of the groom?
In short, whether it is a business or a transaction, if you present your point in a dramatic way instead of presenting it directly and simply, then the effectiveness of the concept increases many times. The human mind understands ‘decorated things’ better than ‘things’ and ‘decorated words’ better than ‘talk’.
Therefore, present your point in a dramatic way.
