Writing gives poor thinking nowhere to hide.

When your invisible thoughts are made visible, you are forced to confront them as they are, not as you wish them to be. You can’t simply take a few minutes here and there, get the gist of the problem, and expect to have clear thinking and unique insights.

Good thinking, like good writing, demands patience.

Good writing is expensive, but poor writing costs a fortune.

Poor writing transfers the work from the writer to the reader. Good writing, on the other hand, nearly reads itself, allowing the reader to spend more time thinking about the ideas than pulling out meaning. Poor writing might be one of the single biggest invisible costs in organizations.

"The cost of being who you are is conflict with those who want you to be someone else.

The cost of being what others want you to be is conflict with yourself."
