The basic principle of business writing

Some of us go through this quite often, having to write a business report , write a resume , write a sponsorship letter , coming up with certain work plans , whatever it is , i think the underlying conclusion is to convince the reader , however , more often than usual , instead of convincing the reader , we end up confusing reader with long string of sentences which can probably contain as much meaning as mother goose tales. Sometimes , you just have resist the feeling of beating yourself repeatedly with a stick for writing such crap into your business report and attempt to pass it off as "critical insights" when it's probably "empty rhetoric" . Then , when you finally finish the entire report , you resist the urge to laugh , god knows either at yourself because another tiny portion of your soul have been eaten away , or laugh at the poor fool who has to read it .

Here are some examples :

- Contributing to the growth of a successful business model

- Both theory and practical sessions will serve to reinforce the learner’s understanding and appreciation of the knowledge acquired

- augmented my business acumen

- we recognize the importance of continuous improvement and evolution

- the interpersonal dynamics in the group is one that is complex and diverse

- one should learn to toggle between the two styles for the complexities of everyday demands for one to appreciate the situation

- we develop sensitivity towards such matters in the future and be cognizant of the dynamics around us

- corporations can seek to replicate its business formula to create long lasting businesses

- we seek to illuminate the reasons behind this phenomenon and offer possible insights



... shudders run through my spine .
