Articulating Understanding Is Way More Important Than You Think

[The Don]

Hello.

I've been reading a great book entitled How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

The author mentioned that those who can express their ideas freely in a clear-concise manner will earn more money than even the best engineers in the world today.

The author even said that people who can talk easily are fancied among people.

I tend to agree with the author because I've seen that myself.

I would like to know a few tips on articulating understanding other than reading and writing.

I always try to speak in front of a camera without any script, just for the sake of developing this ability. It's not that easy. The progress is very slow.

Maybe @Leo Gura has some tips to share with us; a few spontaneous ideas about expressing yourself in a clear manner.

Yes! I love this topic. Leo covered some of it in the video about building your existential vocabulary. It is so important to know what words exactly mean to articulate clear thoughts and understanding, especially for people who are not native English speakers.

This skill refines and tests your understanding, cuts through bullshit and obviously makes you a great communicator and teacher. I'm also keen to learn more about this. I remember my literature teacher once said that if you can't say something, you don't understand it (I don't know whether it's valid for transcendental stuff though haha).
