The Art of Giving Directions

If I created a video version of Google maps, I’d use this lovely Jamaican girl to tell everyone their directions.

Of course, few people would ever get where they’d want to go, but everyone would fall in love with this cutie like I did.  It makes me want to go visit her at “er ‘ouse ova dere.”  I love the added hand gestures!

This is an example of The Curse of Knowledge, where you fully understand what you want to say, but leave out a bunch of key details which the listener needs to fully understand what you are saying.  Knowing what you want to say is different from actually putting the words behind it. Words matter.  Use all of ‘em today.

I don’t know about you, but I have a sudden urge to eat mangoes!
