Over Communication

"If you’re not doing something with your life, then it doesn’t matter how long you live. If you’re doing something with your life, then it doesn’t matter how short your life may be. A life is not measured by years lived, but by its usefulness. If you are giving, loving, serving, helping, encouraging, and adding value to others, then you’re living a life that counts!" —John C. Maxwell

Overcommunication has changed the whole game of communicating with and influencing people. What was overload in the 1970s turned into megaload by the turn of the century.

Here are some statistics to illustrate the problem:
*More information has been produced in the past 30 years than in the previous 5,000.

*The total of all printed knowledge doubles every four or five years.

*One weekday edition of the New York Times contains more information than the average person was likely to come across in a lifetime in seventeenth-century England.

*More than 4,000 books are published around the world every day.

*The average white-collar worker uses 70 kilograms of copy paper a year—twice the amount consumed 10 years ago.
Add to that the Electronic Bombardment..................

So in communication less is more, try to be as simple and as specific as possible.
