Your words have the power to shape people’s mind. Take your time; choose words carefully.
Think short: short words, short sentences, short paragraphs.
People don’t remember long words. They remember the short ones.

Strongly agree.
I once attended a seminar about efficient communication. The main idea I took home is that number 3 exerts magic on getting attention; i.e. break down a complex topic into three stages; provide three features of a product you are promoting; use 3 bullet points on slides...
... and do that following Parent's tips

You are correct, Eduard. I will spend time on my blog around using the correct language. One very useful tool is the use of triads. (See if you can spot the triad in my latest blog entry.)
