And you should too. That's when you'll keep learning and growing. But there is a key thing to note. And most...
Hi Reader "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." – John F. Kennedy I'm sure you've heard about this quote or a derivative of this quote. I've heard this as a dialogue in a regional movie in India! What makes this line so memorable? JFK knew a thing or two about rhetorical devices and communication or he had some really smart speech writers! And today, you are going to learn the same powerful technique. This can be used in day-to-day communication,...
