Write down what you’re trying to achieve in a sentence.

We often have great ideas that are hard to articulate and so the very act of thinking about how to say it all in a sentence makes you really concentrate and clarify your thoughts into being simple and easy to understand.

Film makers and script writers are good at this. To pitch their ideas they need to condense a 90 minute film into a sentence, especially when they’re seeking finance from time-poor executives.

By making yourself write down your idea or concept in a sentence you are forcing yourself to clarify your thinking.
Now this ain’t easy and may take time, but stick with it and it will pay enormous dividends.

Once you can state your purpose in a sentence you’ll find it easier to come up with creative ideas relating to that purpose. You’ll have a clear directive to give your brain.

By the way, to work well it’s best to write a short sentence, not a long one.

The moral is: it's better to be the world's fastest runner than the world's strongest weightlifter! Laughing

"Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions - everyone but a school bus driver."

This quote reminded me of an old humorous film for children about a woman racing driver. When a boy asked her how it was possible that she, so fragile and gentle, wasn't afraid of anything. Her answer was "Once I worked as a teacher in a school specialising in maths and phisics. I still remember my favourite class. The children simply adored me and that's why that tried to make each day pleasant for me, to make a surprise ... "

Since that time children have become more advanced and so have their tricks. Laughing

That's true dear friend, title of the topic needs to sum up what Elephant is talking about :) Arabic is among one of the most pregnant language; it express stupendous details in a single sentence. I am thinking to learn Arabic from you. So be prepared!

New Year

It lay there at the embryonic chamber of eternity
Beyond the veils of changing horizon
Bouncing and tumbling to mingle with life
Surrendering itself as a lamb - for the continuity of life
Few moments remaining and few frenzied breaths;
Like sacrificial animal counts before slaughter.

.......................................

Happy New-Lamb friends!

Dear friends,

I hope we will enjoy every bit and piece of it ...
Sometimes to munch curry of it, and some other times,
to crunch Bar-B-Que! Smile

With most things in life timing is essential. For example, wearing a bathing suit when you go to the beach makes sense; wearing a bathing suit when you meet the President makes the Secret Service uneasy.

Similarly, Winston Churchill would have been a terrible leader for the depression-wracked Britain of 1935. In 1940, he was the best possible choice to lead the charge against Hitler.

Shakespeare put it succinctly: “Ripeness is all.”

Remember: the greatest idea at the wrong time is a loser. With real estate, it’s location, location, location. With ideas it’s timing, timing, timing.

— Is the timing right for your new idea?
— What if you waited for six months or a year?
— Would it have been better last year or the year before?
— What opportunities will you miss if you don’t do it now?

Dear saladeen,

thanks for the essay of Francis Bacon. He surely was an inspirational and guiding spirit of his time. His statement of "first to watch and then to speed" is a general rule in modern life.

One paragraph made me smile:

<for if a man watches to long, odds are he'll fall asleep

That made me think immediately of Michail Gorbatschow's statement:

"Life punishes those who delay"

In our culture a common phrase for those who can't seem to find the right timing ;)

Have  a prosperous  New Year

Dear Saladeen,

Faith makes all things possible,
Hope makes all things work,
Love makes all things beautiful,
May you have all the three for the Prosperous New Year!
