Sandwich

     A sandwich needs three things: a top, a middle, and a bottom layer, having something between two other things, like meat between two slices of bread.  The combination makes a satisfying refreshment.
     Communication can be more satisfying with three components.  To begin, we need a layer of understanding and sensitivity with consideration toward previous comments.  Then we can get to the meat of the issue explaining the details and reasons behind the points we wish to make using logic and the power of persuasion.  The last layer should leave the impression that we welcome a reply be it in agreement or disagreement.  This combination can create a continuing conversation.
    The next time you want to communicate, make a sandwich.
