I went back to my dorm today to clean things up before the dust settled in.

A normal day.

Until it wasn’t.

Around 4 p.m., on a countryside road. Barely a car in sight.

I’m driving at about 80 km/h.

(Mind you, this was a tiny road.)

Then suddenly... traffic.

A line of cars, stuck for no reason.

So I peeked out to see what the holdup was.

​

Shyt... a sidecar

​

But what happened next was worse than crawling behind it like a snail...

The driver raised his right hand.

Cool... but what does that even mean?

Turning? Waving? Directing traffic? Signaling aliens?

Nobody knew.

So... The car behind him guessed it meant “go ahead and pass.” (Which, honestly, is exactly what I thought.)

But nope.

The sidecar was actually turning right.

Luckily, the car behind was able to slam on his brakes, so nobody got hurt.

Close call.

And here's the thing:

That one hand signal was supposed to be “communication.”

But it was vague... unclear.

And yeah, dangerous.

Not just on the road...

​

But everywhere.

​

Because communication is a signal too.

If it’s vague, jargony, or only makes sense in your own head… People get confused...

...And confused people don’t buy.

They hesitate. They bail. They go somewhere else.

Clarity earns trust.

Confusion kills it.

That's why clear is better than clever.

Have a clear day,
