Straight to the point

In all my english classes, the teachers encouraged us to be more concise and commented whether our phrases are too wordy. That's a tough goal, especially if we have a lot of things on our mind and we can go on and on about the topic. But if you think about it, if a message isn't short, the person will often not read it, or just skim through it.

In general, if you keep going on and on about one topic, eventually you'll lose the audience's interest, no? Being concise clearly comes across to the audience because it is straight to the point.
So why not deliver your message in as few words as possible? And grasp the attention of all types of people with different levels and different views.
