"به من نگو که ماه میدرخشد، به من درخشش نور بر شیشه شکسته را نشان بده."
— Anton Chekhov
Simplified Meaning:
Instead of saying something is happening, it’s more impactful if you describe it in detail. Reflecting this in a story, imagine two people: one says it's raining; the other describes how raindrops dance on the window or how wet leaves stick to the car’s windshield. The second description paints a clearer picture in your mind, making you feel more connected to the experience. This approach can also be used in daily communication; for example, if you want to tell a friend about a fun day, instead of just saying it was fun, describe the laughter, the games you played, and the delicious snacks you had. By using vivid descriptions, you engage people’s senses and emotions, making your message more powerful and memorable.
