 I don’t know if you have ever seen those motivational speakers on TV or in person. I’ve had some jobs in the past where they send someone in to rally the troops. They usually have – in the old days flip charts – these days PPT or DVD, lots of props and some way that they want you to remember what it is they are trying to motivate you to do. Sometimes it is just repetition.

One thing that people often use is an acronym – you spell out a word and every letter stands for something else. Here I’ll give you some famous acronyms and you tell me if you know what they mean:

1)      ASAP     2) NATO   3) NHL    4) MYOB    5) TSA

Sometimes they just have an alliterative list with each item in the cue staring with the same letter or the same sound, like Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, or here’s another little quiz for you can you tell me:

1)      In Four H, what are the 4 H’s?
2)      What are the 3 R’s from school?
          a.      How many of these words actually start with R?
          b.      Who can tell me which word that is?
