Sometimes it only takes a few words to get the job done. For example, David Zinger over at Slacker Manager requested what he calls 6 word management stories.
The results, of which he’s published 52, are amazing. Take these three for instance:
- First, take care of your people.
- I trust you, make it happen.
- Once knew all. Now know better.
Aren’t those lovely? There’s some real writing here.
Write well and often,
Two newsletters:
Abundant Freelance Writing - a resource for freelance writers including 3x a week job postings.
Writing With Vision - for those who want to get a book written.

There is something so powerful in the 6 word statement. I also loved the last one: Once knew all, now know better.
Yes, they remind me in a way of a Zen koan… sorta
