Storytelling

Last week, i attended a talk by a professional story teller 'Kiran'. Its about how storytelling have been a medium for the nations in keeping their identity, their legacy and knowledge and pass it down for generations. Storytelling is a powerful technic to inspire peoples, to built hopes, dreams as well as to show loves and cares. Storytelling also nurture creativity, kindness, building integrity and self confidence. Somehow or rather, this powerful tool which help nations survival is slowly vanish. Storytelling culture is replaced by new technology activity like audio and video entertainments, internet surfing, video gaming, and so on.
This trainer put efforts to bring this culture back into society, families and even into the corporate world. To make storytelling interesting, its must be delivered from our heart. We should speak clearly, and let the audience feel the story through our intonation, face expression as well as body language. If we keep practice and redevelop this lost culture, storytelling will become an important element in building our future generations as it used to be again. I would like to start telling stories in this blog. Anyone would like to read?
