Keep It Concise

Whether your are writing or speaking remember to keep it concise -- using just enough words to make yourself clear.

And one good way to make sure you do this is to chop out any redundant expressions or words in your presentation -- such as saying: "an unfortunate problem."   Are there any "fortunate" problems.

While writing such things tend to creep in unnoticed -- just like that thief sneaking in the window at night.  Catch them in the act remembering to review what you have written or tend to say.
