A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS—BUT…
When I was in college, I remember reading an article in the “Reader’s Digest” and it stayed with me forever. Did I ever try to do this? No, not after reading it but I wish I had been as clever as this guy.
Here’s how the story goes: A college professor gave an assignment for all of his students to write a two-thousand word theme. And he wanted it in three days. Come the day of the themes to be turned in and the professor was flipping through them, after his classes were over, and he saw the usual thing—that is until he saw this guy’s folder.
When the professor opened up the folder, he saw one big picture pasted on the left side and one on the right. Below the picture on the right, the guy had written: “It is said a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are two thousand."
Needless to say, the professor gave the guy an A for creativity.
But extremely doubtful if anyone else ever attempted to do that. Still, not a bad idea is it? And believe it or not, this story was true!
