I recently read a book that's not a biography, but it is all about the author. It's a vanity book with a few glimmers of things we should embrace. I'm Queen of Cliff Notes and think that we should always make it easy for others to understand what is most important. When we make it difficult for others to realize our intent, purpose or meaning, they may just give up. When the message is focused toward the audience rather than the messenger, it's easier to maintain interest.
It's another vivid reminder that in face to face encounters the 2:1 ratio should be in effect: use our two ears to intently listen twice as frequently as we use our one mouth to speak. This allows relationships to grow as we learn more of what's important to others.
