 Are you a single story reader? or a one story teller?
Author: SL Lee 
Date:   05-13-12 16:21

TED.com has many good talks, each lasting ~18 minutes.
The following by a Nigerian lady writer is particularly applicable to the discussion in this forum.

Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story
http://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.html
Most of the time, we meet people who has only read one story and stick to it, and the worse thing is some are one story tellers. Whether that is a result of being a one story reader or if there is a special interest to do so, it is hard to say.

The above video is worth watching. Try to reflect, if you are a one story reader, or one story teller, and how do you become so. If you don't know, others do.

It would be great if you can declare you are not one of them.
If you found out that you are among the one story readers or one story tellers, what would you do?
