When speaking or writing, I’d rather people wish I’d said or written more, than leaving halfway through or moving on to the next thing. And the more I say, the less chance I have to pick what part is remembered — because they’re not going to remember all of it.

As a contract developer bidding on projects, I used the same principal to win clients. Instead of trying to sell them on my experience, I’d give enough of a solution that they wanted just one thing. More.

Whatever part of life, you never want to overstay your welcome — but try understaying a bit. Make sure you’re invited back soon.
