I have a voice

I have a voice on a global platform.  That very fact should make me special, but today it doesn’t.  Having a voice on global platform is no longer something special.  This opportunity is available to every one.  It is not enough to have a voice.  It is not enough to have a global platform for that voice.  This opportunity is available to everyone.  So what would make having a voice special.

Just because the platform has changed, just because the opportunity is there for everyone, having a voice is only special if you have ears listening to that voice, in just the same way that ‘readership’ determines the power of traditional media.  So ‘readership’ determines the power of your voice.  This is actually a fortunate factor.  It means that we are all able to blab on about stuff until we work out what we want to say without worrying if what we have to say is worth saying.   There are a lot of voices out there building confidence, working out what is worth saying and what is not; and more importantly where they, like I, want to lend the energy of their voice.
