At office I am known as a picture man. Because I prefer to draw pictures to explain/understand concepts. Seeing its effectiveness, one another member also picked up the ‘picture drawing’ habit. Instead of writing pages of explanations, I find it effective to convey the meaning via pictures. Of course, I do have text, but then a picture speaks better. Isn’t it? It comes handy as well, because time and again we have to communicate with people sitting thousands of miles away (to those Americans).
I got into this habit with courtesy of a Flemish colleague I had. That picture girl induced me to be a picture man!
