It doesn't take many words to make a point.
Perhaps many of us don't realise this, but it's true. Often times, we say too much in order to convince others or to make ourselves understood. But really, you can say very little and yet carry your message across.
Let's consider some examples.
Candles. Cake. Wishes. Presents.
What does that make you think of? Why, a birthday party, of course.
Try this:
Eyes shut. Pillows. Lights off. Moon. Stars.
And that would be... sleeping at night.
Simple, isn't it?
So why do we labour so much on many words? Use just the minimal, by selecting the right metaphors, and be understood by everyone.
Food for thought :)
Day #9 - A little sick, but not without an active mind ;)
