Brevity: Six developments of a thought

This is an experiment inspired by Picasso’s Bull (eleven developments of a lithograph). I’m nowhere close to the artist, but here’s an attempt.

1. I’ve a hunch that brevity in an idea is correlated with how important it is. Take for example the idea that 80% of success is in showing up (attributed to Woody Allen). (168 chars)

2. In my opinion, brevity of thought reflects how powerful it is. Woody Allen’s quote “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” is an example. (140 chars)

3. I think, the more succinct an idea, the more powerful it is. For example, look at Woody Allen’s “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” (138 chars)

4. I think succinctness of thought is indicative of its power. E.g. Woody Allen’s “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” (121 chars)

5. Woody Allen said, “Eighty percent of success is showing up.”. Is the succinctness of thought indicative of power? (113 chars)

6. Is brevity of thought indicative of power? Eg. Woody Allen: “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” (102 chars)
