Mark Twain's the man
Mark Twain is a remarkable man way ahead of his time. He once wrote in a letter to Emeline Beach, on the 10 of February 1868. "To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought onto the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas-the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph." Everyone should take these words to heart. We need to stop ranting endlessly, stop over complicating, stop procrastinating, stop boring our audiences with pointless words and stop wasting time. The key to success now a days is to get right to the point, stop adding all the bullshit just to fill space. Everyone is way to busy in this fast paced world to sift through all your shit. Language is a beautiful thing when you know how to use it, just don't over use the words or your ideas will get lost.
