There are certain people in this world that seem to connect everyone... this is the one of the concepts of my book the "Tipping Point".It discusses the way that certain people have the ability to spread an idea much faster than others and a few of these people combined can cause an epidemic. this idea is relative to what we usully would no as 6 degrees of seperation.For example like a good friend of mine seems to know everyone.. no matter were we go can be from a restaurant to a random basketball court in a random part of town , seems to always no someone.. People like this connect everyone and can have a major effect on the outcome of many things and can help dictate weather or not an idea has the ability to "take off".. for example there is this nieborhood building that has been used to open up small nieghborhood shops, many places that open there never became successful.. But than one man decided to take the risk and open up a small restaurant there..Place shouldve never became as successful as it is today.. the reason for this is because this man knew everyone and was able to self advertise his own resaurant it was only a matter of time before it became the most successful spot in the nieghborhood..This is how the concepts of my book can relate to real life

Mike G...awesome response (aside from a few grammatical things, lol). These types of people, these trend setting emotially intelligent people, play such an interesting role in our society.

Dude...I'll have some nonfiction prompts for you later today so you don't feel left out.
