Old Grammar Rules? - Time for some new rules for the Digital Age! Here's what you need to know on grammar, to make your writing break through the online noise. -Emails -Articles -Blog posts -White papers Learn the SmartyPants Secret, that tidbit of knowledge that is most critical to know on online grammar, plus email etiquette rules to keep things running smoothly. A SmartyPants Secret is that one piece of information that you need to know to make every job a little bit, or maybe a lot, easier. Almost everything we do in life has a SmartyPants secret that to it. Knowing the "secret" helps tremendously in shortening the learning curve. Experts, who have hours of experience doing what the novice is attempting to do, have knowledge, which may not be so secret, but it is key information that the novice greatly needs. If you've ever struggled with something then learned the 'something' afterwards that caused you to say to yourself or say aloud, "Well, if I only known THAT before I did this, it would've made a world of difference!" then you just learned a SmartyPants secret - the hard way. The short SmartyPants Secrets books give you the secret that you need on a given topic, the most important piece of information that makes the greatest difference between easier success and hard-fought failure. Most of the time what you really want is to know the crux of the subject on hand, not the whole litany of everything imaginable that is available to know. Tell me just what I need to know! (and I likely don't know what specific knowledge to ask for). It's literally impossible to know what you don't know. Let the expertise of knowledgeable others guide you. Solving problems is not the SmartyPants concept; rather it is having that key knowledge piece that makes efforts easier and perhaps successful is the SmartyPants Secrets concept; hopefully avoiding having the problem in the first place. We do anything in life because we have a goal to achieve. Reaching that goal successfully, quickly, and easier than without knowing the SmartPants secret is the SmartyPants concept. And because all SmartyPants secrets have a physiological root, grounded in our shared human biology, every SmartyPants secret is valid for everyone, no matter who you are. While we are all uniquely different from each other, being individuals, still we have a common biology consisting of inherited traits that stretch back to the Neanderthal era. Applying a SmartyPants secret will work for you no matter who you are.
About the Author: I am DR Martin, PhD* (*Personal human Development expertise) - Dolley Rapoport Martin. I took Dolley as my first name* in honor of the great First Lady Dolley Madison, whom I admire for her heroic actions in the White House during very turbulent times. I took Rapoport as a middle name* in honor of Ingeborg Rapoport, who at age 103, is the oldest person to be awarded a Doctorate; finally getting the recognition due her from 77 years prior in Nazi Germany, unfairly denied her due to her Jewish roots. There is so much injustice in the world; it is an honor to recognize her achievement by taking her name. I have studied every communication subject for more than a decade, acquiring a large body of knowledge. I, perhaps like you, am a voracious reader and learner. My other strength is that I retain much of what I learn, so I can then compile the knowledge on a variety of subjects into a concise format, making the books that I author a shortcut on the best knowledge available. This saves you from going through all the data looking for the kernel that makes the greatest difference in success, the SmartyPants secret on a given topic. I also have a mind that is ever curious about so many topics. I have earned multiple expert designations (education certified English teacher, Real Estate Broker, Stock Broker series 7, series 6, series, Certified Financial Manager, Insurance producer certified, Coach University) and held high level positions in business - large corporate entities, privately held companies, non-profit organizations, and startups - and have volunteered extensively, holding executive positions at the local, district and national levels. So I've been around the block more than once, on more than one topic. Due to my research and experience, I have logged the perquisite time to carry the title of expert, giving myself an honorary PhD in the expertise area of communication, personal human development. I am passionate about sharing the knowledge that I have gained with you, in bite-size pieces. When a certain topic is not in my field of expertise, I find an expert with deep expertise in the field who has the knowledge that I seek. I then ask numerous in-depth questions of the expert to get to the gist, to learn the SmartyPants Secret, to pass on in a book on the subject.
