70. Write to capture your knowledge succinctly

If you get a chance, read Peter Drucker (The Effective Executive is my favorite, although he did write some 30 books) or Baltasar Gracian (The Art of Worldly Wisdom).

They are masters of what I call the art of "knowledge writing." Through their literary skills, they can capture knowledge very succinctly in order to impart maximum knowledge in the minimum number of words.

Also, they are able to explain complex subjects by using simple words and simple, short sentences.

Every blogger should strive to achieve similar standards of literary excellence.
