In class myself and a few other group members got assigned a 'creative' presentation on the entrepreneurial themes that we could get from watching a movie focused on entrepreneurs. We chose the movie Hustle & Flow and prepared a short skit that had a unique idea. We all felt confident that the idea would get across but by the end of the presentation it seemed (well, based on our audience's response) that they way in which we communicated the ideas weren't clear enough for most. That's when I realised that no matter how good the idea, no matter the preparation that goes into the completion of something, proper or improper communication can change the game.
The best presentation was promised a prize, which meant we were all doing our best to get the top spot. The team that ended up winning was the one that stuck to the simplest idea. Concepts were easy to pick up and I guess that's what made it better. So despite my hard work going to waste I learnt less is more, simple is sometimes best and proper communication is a card best kept in your pocket.
