“The first ingredient in conversation
is truth: the next good sense; the third, good humor; and the fourth wit.” -
Sir William Temple
When you preach good things they may
sound boring to your audiences. But if you covey them entertainingly the
audiences will accept them with excitement.
Some trainers and teachers fail to
connect with their audiences because they preach too many things without a
touch of humor. Although their preaching is positive with a strong message,
they fail to connect their audiences as they do not make use of humor. In fact,
humor helps greatly to convey the message and ensure effective takeaways among
the audiences. There are several advantages of humor during the teaching and
training programs. Humor breaks the monotony and boredom. It offers relief to
the stressed audiences. Research shows that receivers accept only one out of
the seven messages delivered by the senders. That means the receivers don’t
accept all the messages due to various reasons including information overload,
lack of interest on the topic, or inability of the senders to connect with the
receivers, or due to preconceived notions or excessive ego by the receivers.
Hence, senders must put all out efforts to ensure that the more number of
messages reach out to their audiences through entertainment.
The films like ‘PK’ and ‘Gopala Gopala’
convey message to the audiences in an entertaining manner. The intention is to
expose fake babas and swami who exploit religion to fill their private coffers.
These fake people thrive on the weaknesses of the people including insecurities
and depression. If the films preached to the audiences in a conventional way,
they would have been rejected. These two films made use of humor and
articulated their ideas effectively to expose fake swamis and babas in the
society. These fake babas and swamis are slurs in the society as they bring
down the images of genuine babas and swamis whose heart is to serve society
through spiritualism and promote fraternity.
Hence, conventional preaching doesn’t
work any longer. Articulate your ideas effectively to reach to the audiences
through entertainment. It sends them strong message to enable them to receive
the actual message and bring out behavioral changes among themselves. In the
long run, it promotes fraternity to build a healthy and better civilized society.
Jai Hind!
“Anyone who tries to make a
distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing
about either” - Marshall McLuhan
