When I have too much information or too many choices, I often get confused.• When one wants to encourage another to learn what ”I know that you don’t know,” encourage them to engage in deep thought on a topic you suggest.

“We really encourage people to put smoke alarms in bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. This man was very lucky because he didn't have a smoke alarm.”

“We knew it was going to be a rocky opening after yesterday's earnings reports but I think it was a very encouraging day. Valuations are reasonable but the fundamentals are going to get better.”
