Summary

This quote suggests that words are used to construct sentences and can be seen as a currency. Similar to coins, there are an abundance of small and insignificant words that make up the majority of our sentences. Just like how small coins can clutter our pockets and make it difficult to find what we need, the excessive usage of insignificant words can clutter our sentences, making them less impactful and concise.

Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.
