Diary – Buried Words

If you would rather listen to my blog than read, you can click the link below

Simplicity often makes our message clearer and more powerful.

Some people however just to like to baffle you with big fancy words… I’m a simple word kinda person. I speak from the heart, hoping my simple words have a deeper meaning, perhaps even a bigger impact.

It’s the same when reading, people often think that using big fancy words makes our writing smarter. But in truth, it’s the simple words that often have the most power, because simple words are much easier to understand.

When we speak or write from the heart, people listen because they feel your honesty.

Those big complicated words shouldn’t be about impressing others…Words should be about reaching every single person out there.

Not everyone is educated to the highest level.

I don’t want to be reading words with a dictionary or google on hand, I don’t want to have to work out what the abbreviations mean, because by the time I’ve worked out the abbreviations, I’ve lost interest and also which paragraph I was reading!

The use of our words is about connecting, how we communicate is about how we connect with others…Who is it that you want to connect with?

Not everyone has the capacity to understand big words

We talk about treating people as equals, we talk about including everyone.

You are not including everyone if people don’t understand!

I have taken a couple of examples

Complex sentence – Early detection of dementia is imperative. To receive a timely diagnosis gives patients and families a chance to plan for the future.

Simpler version – An early dementia diagnosis helps people plan ahead.

As my dementia progresses, it makes the understanding of words much harder to understand, say, read and spell.

I loose my words, they becoming burried under a dark cloud filled with mixed up letters

I need things to be simple.

If things were simple in the first place everyone could understand.

Simple words when said or written carry something so strong, especially when they come from real feelings and genuine thoughts.

They touch us…Most of all simple words allow others to understand too.

Keep It Simple!
