Short Vs. Concise
Worry less about being short and more about not wasting the audience’s time. It’s more important to be efficient than short.
Short for the sake of short is stupid. If you need three minutes to tell a story right, take three minutes. But if you’re rambling for three minutes when you could have done it in one? That’s the problem. Don’t cut substance. Cut waste. Every word should earn its place. If it’s not adding value, kill it.

The Situation
Last month, I had a conversation with my boss and was basically promised a raise at my review that’s coming up in two weeks. Since then, I really screwed up and was nearly fired. But I wasn’t. Now I’m pretty sure I won’t get my raise. I feel like I need to fix this now, before my review. How do I talk to my boss about it? I really need that raise.

Beatles Storm Japan in Matching Suits
The Beatles (Beatles)
The Fab Four touched down in Tokyo for their first-ever Japan shows at the legendary Budokan, and it was basically a military operation—3,000 police showed up to keep the peace for each 10,000-capacity crowd. They filmed two nights back-to-back, switching from sharp black suits to pristine white ones like they were performing a sartorial outfit change. Apparently playing in front of screaming fans and armed law enforcement wasn’t enough drama, so they made sure to document the whole thing. That’s one way to make sure your concert footage doesn’t go missing.
