Mukesh Rantiya reflects on announcing names at a company appraisal ceremony and what it taught him about using metaphors, staying consistent, and pulling ideas from others' stories to build his own narratives. He argues learning happens daily and feeds the motivation to tell better stories.
Recently, I struggled a lot. There was a ceremony in my company where I had to announce people's names for their appraisal. There are many learnings, that how to use metaphors in the speech. This is again one of the learnings which I have learned. How to be consistent, how to gain insight, the story. Of other people. That if someone is telling you, you always get, uh, what is the idea behind their story. You get the sense and you utilize that, their senses also in your stories. So these are the learnings. Everyday learning is there, not specifically restricted to 2 or 3 learnings. I feel everyday learning and it is keeping me motivated to create more stories.
