Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 141 (1955)

Remember to focus on clear, useful data—not just applause. Avoid metrics that feel good but don’t help you improve.
And try your story on a small group first. See what confuses people or doesn’t connect. Then refine it before the big meeting.
Keep it simple. Keep it clear. Let the feedback guide your next version.
