What’s your point?
It’s a simple question, and often the only thing people have on their minds.
It’s a simple request, and it asks for a simple reply. It’s easy to forget that.
My 2¢:
I’ve failed whenever I’ve forgotten to address the above question.
Whether it’s implied or explicit, it’s always on people’s minds.
So, go ahead—laugh at my pain if you must. But please try to avoid making the same mistake.
