This is one of my brother’s sayings and I love it. He’s right: people often go one sentence too far.
This kind of self-editing is hard but it will set you apart from the usual suspects who say too much, too often.
We’re almost always one sentence too long in our writing and our presenting.
Less is more. Brevity is the soul of wit. Pith is rewarded. And in the spirit of this mesage, enough said on this one.
