You may have noticed that my blog is devoid of images or fancy ads unlike those that you normally see on other wannabe blogs. The reason to that is simply because I am not a visual person (most of the time). Of course there are exceptions to that such as when I am out picking up things to buy or people to own 😅. Even as a medical student, I rather go through paragraphs after paragraphs of explanation than to brave through the tables or charts that were included although I know that they are there for a purpose (probably to summarize what has been lengthily written). Time and time again, I have had people who would preach about how effective studying using mind maps and tables can be and I don't exactly disagree with them but again being the non-visual persona that I am, I choose to do away with it. With class presentations however, that's a different story as everybody tries limiting the number of their power point slides in order to avoid out of the blue questions from the lecturers (especialy for those of you who just can't help plagiarizing) or having to keep going despite knowing that no one is listening to your extortionately long and dull presentation. I admit that even I subconsciously check the number of slides before deciding how long my attention span would be. In this world, nobody likes having to take the longer route unless it offers you something adventurous along the way. My point here is that if you are as notorious as me when it comes to the way you say certain things either in writing or verbally, you will find that images or expressions aren't as necessary. Besides, Sidney Sheldon and Judy Blume sure as well know how to cook up a good story and they don't even need to worry about whether the cover for their novels is appealing or not because the content itself is attention-grabbing even from the first few pages so go figure!
