You're not taking the scenic route in the conversation.

You are getting there as fast as you can, most efficiently as you can.

Yes, it's not artful.

Yes, it's not some fancy sounding, very flowery language.

It's just getting right to the point of exactly what you need to say.

So that's what direct is.

What does direct sound like?

Direct sounds like your words sticking, not stretching.

not expanding.

So think of it like in the Olympics, right?

They have in gymnastics in the summer Olympics and these gymnasts who are amazing do these amazing things in the air and then what's the goal here?

They wanna stick the landing.

They do or they talk, they say they do what they need to do, the action is up here and then they stick the landing right there and then they throw their hands in the air and everybody applauds.

That's what you're looking for.

You're not looking for the type of motion where it continues just to carry on and on and on.

Where it's not like, I don't know, just watch the Winter Olympics.

I'm thinking of like curling, you know, where they do the ice, the block of ice.

And I don't really know how it works, but it seems kind of cool.

Then they have like their mops.

Anyway, so how can we do this in your everyday communication?
