Daily Inspiration Quote by Aaron Sorkin

Sorkin is selling you a workplace as a writer's theme park: a habitat where language is currency and every encounter arrives pre-loaded with stakes. The line flatters its subject ("terrific communication skills") while quietly describing the thing he’s always chased on screen: institutions where people talk for a living, and where talk can plausibly change outcomes. It’s the same engine behind The West Wing’s walk-and-talk kineticism and The Newsroom’s moralized newsroom banter. If everyone is articulate, exposition becomes character; ideology becomes flirtation; conflict becomes rhythm.

The sly move is the phrase "Every day is an extraordinary day", which reads like praise but functions as permission. It licenses heightened reality, the Sorkin signature where deadlines are apocalyptic and dialogue lands in perfectly sharpened paragraphs. He’s not claiming this is how people actually speak; he’s arguing that the setting justifies the compression. If your world is full of professionals trained to persuade, deflect, and perform, then the writer can plausibly push speech into choreography without breaking the spell.

"For me" is the tell. Sorkin frames the locale less as documentary subject than as narrative machine: an "area for storytelling", not a community with messy silences, bad arguments, and bureaucratic dullness. The subtext is almost devotional: give me a room where power is exercised through sentences, and I can turn process into drama. It’s also a little defensive, anticipating critics who call his dialogue too polished. In the right ecosystem, he implies, polish is realism.
