Richard Nixon's career certainly ended in failure but someone who won an election with 60 percent of the vote, won 49 out of 50 states, that makes his -up to that point - incredibly successful. The idea of winning 49 states, incredible.

We will be far more effective as communicators when we acknowledge our mistakes, and then we try to make them up.
Frank Luntz
The perfect opening is the word imagine, because imagine allows you to communicate in the eyes and the vision of the listener rather than yours. And the best illustration of that is 1984. Room 101 in 1984 - everyone's read it, and we all have our own imagination of what that looks like.
