I'm going to take you back to a day in 1995,  December 5th.

程度副詞

I hadn't even graduated from college yet,

反身代名詞

but somehow I found myself standing in the vestibule of a church,

and I was wearing the dress of my dreams.

with a train that stretched out 5 feet behind me.

And it was all held together by this curious combination

of tape, corset and pantyhose, and a petticoat

that would pretty much make any junction jealous.

The music started and I started to see my bridesmaids

Have you ever been afraid of what people might think

A decision that could potentially be very unpopular.

And unpopular, that's a pretty ominous word, in and of itself.

But is it the horrible thing that my formative years

would have me to believe, or is it the one thing

that could bring me more joy than I could ever imagine?

even though some people lump it together with another "UN" word,

But I maintain that there is a difference.

See, in my life, and with the branding clients that I work with,

being unpopular is about making decisions

that honor the two most important audiences we'll ever have:

the people who'll love us for everything that we are

Now, the unlikeable people, they seem to think

that it's all about them, and they forget that

those people are the reason that they get

to get up everyday and do what it is that they love.

So that is why I am a stark raving maniacal fan of unpopular.

Love me, hate me, just don't be indifferent,

because to me indifference is like looking ...

you're not really sure what it is that you're seeing,

and you'd kind of like to forget you'd seen it

See, we spend our lives trying to build ourselves

into something that other people think that we should be,

when, in fact, we should be spending our time

trying to actively polarize our audience.

Give them tools to help them know whether or not

they should love us, and give it early and give it often.

Because that's when we stop wasting time,

How do we stop wasting time and start rethinking unpopular,

to make our lives and the lives of other people around us better.

For my life it came down to two simple things:

"I wish I had more people in my life who would lie to me",

Yet, from a very early age we are taught to turn down

that honesty knob and turn up the one on polite.

And it's no wonder that by the time we get to be adults

we can't honestly tell anyone around us who we are,

Now, what I've been working on is turning honesty back up

and kicking polite to the curb, which is where I think

But let's talk about, and be honest about

Because the reality is that there is a pretty fine line

between being honest in our desire, and people thinking

Case in point: earlier this year I was on a date

something I needed in my life, in order to feel complete,

and what I heard coming out of my mouth was:

Oh, you know, I'm 39, I know the statistics,

and you know what, if kids happen  they happen,

I am 39 years old and my ovaries are screaming,

And what I would appreciate is if you could

So, over here we have a totally failed attempt at being honest,

But there's got to be something in the middle.

And what I propose is what I call the "blanket fort solution".
