"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

"Less is more."

"It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

For years, there's always been different sayings that convey that simple, succinct, and to-the-point are the easiest and best ways to convey information. It can never be emphasized enough. We always want to write more, do more, or add more than is necessary, which clutters, distracts, and takes away from the initial purpose.

Even this post is already rambling and reiterating points that don't need any clarification. We always try to clarify and add to our writing or speech, but why? Is it our fear of being misunderstood? Or is it a desire to make sure we sound like an expert on the topic?

The most eloquent speakers and businessmen I've met all have a certain few characteristics in common. One is that they always get straight to the point when speaking and get that point across in as few of words as necessary. They are also confident in those words. That might be because they are usually in a hurry so they have learned to be efficient and productive with their time, but they know how to keep it simple.

Keep it simple stupid.
