If You Want to Be Profound, Be Simple

One of the most popular TV sitcoms in recent years was The Big Bang Theory. Chances are pretty high that you have either seen it or know about it. But just in case you haven’t, The Big Bang Theory focuses on a group of friends, several of whom are physicists and engineers. 

Many of the show’s storylines, and much of its humor, came from Sheldon Cooper, who spent a lot of time and energy trying to prove how smart he was.

But it’s not just sitcom characters who want to appear smart. Each one of us wants to be respected and admired for our skills and knowledge. If we’re not careful in our writing and communication, we can wind up like Sheldon, constantly trying to prove that we are just a little bit superior to everyone else.

We would do well to follow the timeless wisdom of Mr. Rogers, who said, “Deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.”

On this episode, Kent challenges us to follow Mr. Rogers' advice with three practical suggestions.
