World Ocean Day is celebrated on June 8 annually to inform the public about the impacts of human activities on oceans and to mobilise the support of the world citizenry to take up a more proactive and sustainable approach towards ocean use.
Ivan Aivazovsky, Sunset, 1866
Who is your favorite poet and what makes them stand out to you? Have they influenced your writing style in any way?
#Quora Knowledge
My favorite poet is Emily Dickinson.
I have been greatly influenced by her simplicity in her wording in the most astonishing poems.
Her lucid words create powerful feelings. You are able to taste, feel, and see the almost surrealistic landscapes that she creates.
In my opinion, her poems are written in color. She is able to render colors and hues in verse.
“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.” ― Emily Dickinson
“Bring me the sunset in a cup.” ― Emily Dickinson
The poem below has been inspired by her.
What friends?
I have the sun
and the full moons,
The air and the water
blue.
The memories of
the sweet hills
and the crescent moon
keeping the vineyards
in bloom.
For my love
I would give
My hills
wrapped in balmy
vine flowers.
“If I can stop a heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain”. – Emily Dickinson

I have stolen this question from The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly? by Seth Godin.
When it comes to customers, we all want more of them, but have you ever wondered what they see in us, service providers?
Why would they choose us and not others in a very saturated market?
Firstly, we charm them with our deft storytelling.
Secondly, they immersed themselves in our stories.
Thirdly, we fulfil our promises.
What promises?
Who Do You Want Your Customers To Become?
I would like them to feel confident. I would like them to smile before they answer questions during a business presentation.
I would like them to know how to describe in detail what they are (really) good at.
I would like them to be able to relate to people from other cultural environments.

What is the Sharing Economy?
The sharing economy is a peer-to-peer (P2P) economic model. It facilitates acquiring, providing, or sharing access to goods and services. Sharing economies have existed throughout history, but in modern times the sharing economy is experiencing a revival with the support of community-based online platforms.
I have created a fresh video for my students. The sharing economy is a long-debated topic for our business English and business development classes!
What is your role in the sharing economy? Are you a supplier or a user? How can you use the sharing economy to your benefit?

💥Even if I am first and foremost a passionate writer, I cannot overlook the power of video content.
In a previous article, Stats about content creation that very few people are talking about, I mentioned a few details:
💥Visual Content Dominance
Stat: Visual content is processed 60,000 times faster than text.
Source: According to a study by 3M Corporation and Zabisco.
Implication for copywriting: Incorporating visually appealing elements in copywriting, such as images, infographics, or videos, can significantly enhance message retention and engagement.
💥So, I have strived to create AI-generated video content, as I am not a deft filmmaker.
But I use AI to generate videos based on my articles to create a useful trove of content for my students, who can enjoy continuous learning outside of our classes.

“She knew how to hit to a hair’s breadth that moment of evening when the light and the darkness are so evenly balanced that the constraint of day and the suspense of night neutralize each other, leaving absolute mental liberty…At times her whimsical fancy would intensify natural processes around her till they seemed a part of her own story. Rather they became a part of it; for the world is only a psychological phenomenon, and what they seemed, they were. The midnight airs and gusts, moaning amongst the tightly wrapped buds and bark of the winter twigs, were formulae of bitter reproach. A wet day was the expression of irremediable grief at her weakness in the mind of some vague ethical being whom she could not class definitely as the God of her childhood, and could not comprehend as any other.”
― Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Charlotte Brontë (21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of English literature. She is best known for her novel Jane Eyre, which she published under the gender neutral pen name Currer Bell. Jane Eyre went on to become a success in publication, and is widely held in high regard in the gothic fiction genre of literature.
Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published a book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius. Emily was the second-youngest of the four surviving Brontë siblings, between the youngest Anne and her brother Branwell. She published under the pen name Ellis Bell.
Mary Ann Evans (22 November 1819 – 22 December 1880); known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). As with Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, she emerged from provincial England; most of her works are set there. Her works are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as “one of the few English novels written for grown-up people” and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.

Poetry will never become obsolete, nor will art or any artistic expressions, because this makes us human. We read and write poetry with the heart, not with the mind.
Music makes us feel. Science forces us to think.
Exploring imaginary dominions is purely an artistic expression of feeling with our heart and creativity. Even perfumery is subjected to poetry. Perceiving a fragrance has to do with interpretation, not to mention that some people have synesthesia; they see the smells in colors. Some fragrances remind me of turbulent twilights, while others remind me of a sun ray that sparkles in a bottle, emitting a solar heating vibe akin to a lamp.
The above question echoed in my mind, making me think of the film Equilibrium.
Because art elicits emotions, all representations of art have been outlawed in an effort to foster a conflict-free society.
Sean Bean’s character is willing to sacrifice his life for a book of poems by William Butler Yeats:
“I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”
We read poetry, listen to music, and enjoy paintings because they contribute to our humanity. They allow us to travel vicariously and evade in faraway lands that offer hope, love, and wonder.
I cannot imagine the world without music, scents, and art. There’s a story behind all of these. Sometimes it’s a story in verse.
Art – Thomas Edwin Mostyn
