Buzzwords say all the wrong things

by Richard on September 26, 2006

I’m grateful to Dave Warnock for pinting this one out: Buzzwords say all the wrong things - Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals). These words especially caught my attention:

Really want to impress someone with your words? Then either 1) be direct/clear or 2) shut up. Anyone worth impressing will respect you for saying less a lot more than they’ll respect you for using big words that don’t actually say anything.

Preachers take note!

Confucius say: Never miss a good chance to shut up: a closed mouth gathers no foot.
