When you use illustrations simply because they are good illustrations, you are drawing targets around your arrows. Enhance the talk with an illustration only if it effectively drives home that point. Keep in mind that it takes different kinds of arrows to hit different kinds of targets. In the same way, be selective in filling your quiver with illustrations. With each illustration in this book, I have suggested one or two points that can be supported by the illustration.
Every illustration has multiple applications.
