"時間がないので、いつもより長い手紙を書きました。"
— Blaise Pascal
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, it takes more effort and time to express ideas in a short and clear way than it does to write them out in a longer form. For example, when writing an essay or a speech, it can be challenging to pick the perfect words and organize them neatly so that the message is both brief and to the point. Imagine trying to explain a complicated concept to a friend. If you have only a little time, you might ramble and take a long time to get the point across because you haven’t had the chance to think it through and edit it down. However, if you spend more time revising your words, you can deliver your message quicker and more effectively. In everyday life, this means that sometimes it's worth the extra effort to simplify our communication so others can understand us better.
