It was the first day of school and a new student named Chandrasekhar Subramaniam entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, “Let’s begin by reviewing some American History Who said “Give me Liberty, or give me Death“? She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: “Patrick Henry, 1775″ he said.

Very good…..she said Who said “Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?” Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar.Abraham Lincoln, 1863″ said Chandrasekhar The teacher snapped at the class, “Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.”

She heard a loud whisper: “F*ck the Indians,” “Who said that?” She demanded. Candrasekhar put his hand up. General Custer, 1862

At that point, a student in the back said, “I’m gonna puke.” The teacher glares around and asks “All right…. Now,
who said that?” Again, Chandrasekhar says, “George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister,1991.”

Now furious, another student yells, “Oh yeah? S*ck this!” Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher,”Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!

Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said “You little Sh*t. If you say anything else, I’ll kill you.” Chandrashekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001.”

The teacher fainted……….. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, “Oh shit, we’re f*cked!” and………. Chandrasekhar said quietly, “George Bush, Iraq.bush_undercover.jpg


In the venture capital business, many people think that a short pitch is thirty slides and a short business plan is fifty pages. My how they are mistaken.

The more slides and pages that you need to explain your business, the less likely you will succeed. Truly, the best pitches and plans require nothing more than one page or a picture to explain them. Do you recognize this picture? It’s how Southwest Airlines was pitched.

To provide more insight into the process of visual thinking, I tapped Dan Roam. He is the author of The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures . In this interview he explains why and how to use visual thinking in your business. Click here to read it. To learn even more about visual thinking, be sure to read his book.

Incidentally, my momma didn’t raise a fool, so as soon as I figured out what he does, I asked him to apply his skills to a real-world task of mine: explaining Alltop to people. These are the pictures he came up with. I like them! (Larger version here.)
