Quote:
Definite speech means clarity of mind. Mark Twain
Insights for You:
Applied to yourself
We are social animals — our brains were designed by evolution to live in society. We need such brains for mutually beneficial relationships within the group. We use the same structures for interacting with other people and for problem-solving aka thinking.
What is interacting? — Speech, communication, etc.
So how can you apply this knowledge to make your life better?
Develop your speaking skills. This is the simplest way to develop your mind.
You can structure your thought better with words while you speak. This way, you can structure them better in your mind.
The better you operate with language constructions, the better you use complex constructions inside of your brain, the better you think.
Applied to other people
The way a person speaks can say a lot to the one who listens.
A smart person can explain complex ideas in simple words. The clarity of your speech signals to other people — you know what are you talking about.
On the other hand, if a person cannot express himself clearly it is a red flag.
A person that constantly jumps from one topic to another probably can’t structure the complex idea in his mind. Someone who speaks in complicated and long sentences will probably not get to the point.
Takeaway:
#1 To get clarity of mind — improve your speech clarity.
#2 Pay close attention to the way a person speaks.
