Don't be afraid of Fairy Floss

Lots of big words being thrown around as they put forth seemingly highly complex arguments in defending their position.

There she was in a new country feeling so intimidated by the language prowess of her fellow colleagues.

In her mind she fear that she would not be able to articulate her thoughts as well and would perform miserably as there was no way she would be as good.

So she said less and listened more. But after a while of listening to what they were actually saying, something dawned on her.

Their words were Fairy Floss!!!

Words that were big and impressive. And spuned so beautifully. But really it was all air and a little sugar. Not much in substance.

While she used not many words, every word was considered and thought through for impact.

Listen carefully to what's been said. The words could very well just be Fairy Floss. If you lick it, it will melt away into nothingness.
