Logic Is Like A Right Angle
a: Logic ~

a: Ellipsis ~
b: salt
What: "The ellipsis is like salt, with careful use it can bring out hidden "flavor" or subtext in your writing, adding depth and other good stuff.

a: frontal lobe ~
b: Manager of your thoughts
What:
"Imagine that the frontal lobe is like the Manager of your thoughts, actions, reactions, and ability to stay on task and complete something. This Manager makes sure you finish what you start, helps determine what you will pay attention to, and what you will not notice. The Manager filters out unnecessary information, such as the noise across the street, and keeps you aware of time passing so you don't miss important events. This manager also helps you to plan, prioritize, be organized, strategize, think before acting (impulsivity), and be able to control your movement."
