Read a funny and inspiring article that talks about "conciseness". - Quoted from Apple Daily - 蘋果批 by 宋漢生 - 有一次,克林頓向幕僚抱怨,公眾沒有給他足夠時間詳述政綱。幕僚問﹕「約翰福音二章十六節說甚麼?」克林頓背道﹕「神愛世人,甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信衪的,不致滅亡,反得永生。」幕僚說﹕「你只用了五秒,就解釋了基督教教義!」 The article went on to talk about "six-word stories"... - Quoted from http://wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/sixwords.html - Automobile warranty expires. So does engine. Don't marry her. Buy a house. TIME MACHINE REACHES FUTURE!!!...nobody there... Three to Iraq. One came back. None of the above is better than this - For sale: baby shoes, never worn. -- Hemingway
And this one, albeit more than six words, is also impressive... God said, 'Cancel Program GENESIS.' The universe ceased to exist. -- Arthur C. Clarke |
