If you're going to be successful in life...
You have to learn how to be direct in your communication.
You can't waste time trying to tip-toe around people's feelings...
You can't beat around the bush...
You have to get your point across...
...and for two very practical reasons:
1. You save yourself and others time when you get the point across right away.
2. You state a very clear expectation that the other person is going to understand in a very precise way.
This is what all great business people do...
This is what all great leaders do...
This is what all great humans do...
...and I can promise you this...
If you can't learn to communicate directly...
You can't expect to win in life.
