What this world needs is more pitches. Sometimes, we haven&#8217;t thought about a particular question, so we ramble until we come up with some semblance of an answer. Other times, though, it\u2019s good to give concise, straightforward answers. A professor for one of my classes assigned a paper that gave a very creative, open-ended approach to each student. He was emphatic about this paper being one page. I wrote my paper, and I had about 300 words too many. It was incredible how much I could cut out. I rambled for those full 300 words. Heck, this blog post may be a bit like a ramble, but there&#8217;s something to be said for being concise. A pitch helps a person think about the most essential points of an topic. It&#8217;s helpful and interesting to understand the complexities and intricacies of something, but it&#8217;s important to consolidate and synthesize that information. Of course, nobody is perfectly concise. Again, this blog post definitely isn&#8217;t. But, sometimes, we can be WAY too good at being verbose. Let&#8217;s strive to understand things with real depth, but then be able to turn around and communicate them to others in elegant and impactful ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever asked someone a really simple question, and that person gave you a way-too complex answer?
