I wish I had written this.

Every once in awhile I run across something that so brilliantly captures an idea, emotion or truth that I wish I had written it.  I felt that way after I read Joe Calloway's Become a Category of One and Steve Farber's Radical Leap.

I felt that same surge of both admiration and envy when I saw this.  Stick with it for the entire two minutes.  The twist is worth the wait.

I hope we all aspire to be this good at something!

What's great about this, too, is that it underscores a fundamental truth: things can look quite different from another angle. Nice!

Ann,

Agreed. It is the best of copywriting...both form and function supporting the core message.

Selfishly, as a writer, I also love that it clearly demonstrates that memorable copy is not accidental. This is a wrok of art, in term so using words as a medium.

Thanks for stopping by!

Drew
