Stating the obvious (duh!)

To Steve Jobs in 1980, it was obvious that the personal computer was going to be a ”bicycle for the mind.”

But it wasn’t obvious to the people listening to his keynote, or the millions of people who didn’t believe him at the time.

The point: What is obvious to you isn’t obvious to everyone else.

You see things from a unique vantage point. No one else has your perspective.

Instead of looking for something clever to say to your audience, consider stating what is obvious to you.

You might be surprised how not obvious it is to everyone else.
