The secret ingredient for PowerPoint Presentations

Today we took in the new movie - Kung-Fu Panda. We saw it for my son's benefit and it was a long, tough 91 minutes.

The only line with any value was when the Panda’s father told his son the secret to the family’s "Special Ingredient Noodle Soup". Papa said "Po, there is no secret ingredient. It is special because when you believe you have a secret ingredient, then you make it special".

Later, after many "BAM" and "Ka-Pow" scenes Po finally understands the Dragon Scroll. The Dragon Scroll supposedly reveals the secrets to defend the known world against evil, and holds other magical powers. To every one's surprise - the scroll is empty. It does not contain any text or instructions for success. It reflects back your face when you look into it. Again "There is no secret ingredient". It is only your thinking that makes it so.

It is you that is the secret ingredient to success with your PowerPoint Presentations. Not spectacular slideshows or 35 flashing fonts. You, your stories and your examples are the Secret Ingredient.
