We have now reached the third clip in the documentary about Martin Luther King's "I've been to the mountaintop" speech. The reason we are looking at this particular speech is that it is filled with useful insights for our ultimate goal: to create a set of updated visions, dreams, and ideologies useful for us today, in the internet age, facing our own set of challenges and opportunities.
In the previous clip, we had a look at one insight, and in this clip we are looking at two more:
Insight 1: To look at what is, but to find a perspective that gives inspiration
Martin Luther King had a marvelous ability to find perspectives that allow you to simultaneously look at the situation at hand - which usually is filled with lots of problems and issues - and, at the same time, feel great inspiration to change it.
Insight 2: To use images, analogies, and stories to make your points
One of the main tools he used to obtain the "both/and" view from Insight 1 is to use stories, images, and analogies. In fact, his speeches are made up of almost nothing but these.
In the video above, you hear several parts of the speech that illustrates these two points.
