Look who's coming for dinner!
How really, can we truly, absolutely and positively know who he'd invite for dinner. Specifically, which three people from history he'd want to be there?
The speechwriting team (btw, is called P.I.E. - stands for 'passion', 'imagination' and 'enthusiasm') was to come up with his replies for a magazine's backpage interview. Other than the Tuesdays with Morrie-style question, we had as well "your favorite songs on your i-Pod/MP3".
You might say, "ask him". But that really wasn't an option for us. Our CEO calls us for meetings or emails us for suggestions, but never from our end.
PIE is going with Alfred Nobel, Albert Einstein and Lei Dai Soh (Cantonese storyteller) - examples used from our previous speeches which he had suggested or approved. But we're going to say "forget it" to the question about which songs he would like.
Me, personally? I think I would like to invite Gandhi, Sinatra, and Rousseau. They will make quite a peculiar dinner crowd but one-on-ones would be fantastic. I would never, however, invite Nietzsche, Confucius, any of the Popes, country western singers or Kant. Those I have enough trouble admiring from afar.
