Writing- An Indispensable Lifeskill For Everyone

-

 Writing is not only for content writers to get a job or for students to pass a test. The skill of writing develops far deeper habits in a person. But. before understanding why writing is beneficial for everyone, let us understand the process. 


The Process

Be it a book, an article, or a report, this is
usually how writers work on it. 

  • Think clearly about the idea, and note it down. 
  • Work on the important points to mention in the content piece. 
  • Make an outline based on the important points. 
  • Write the content as per the layout. 
  • Edit the content to ensure only relevant information stays, 


Now, even if you are not a writer, let us see what this process of writing does to the way you think. 

Structured Thinking

Do you ever feel like your brain has million different thoughts and everything is muddled? Well, that is when jotting down your ideas helps. 

All the confusion from your mind is transferred to a page. Now, you have a clear mind and a list of ideas. You can go through the list one by one. 

Moreover, the habit of making an outline fosters organized thinking. This ensures all your important points are covered properly.

To The Point

Less is more. 90% of the time writers are told to keep it short. This removes all the additional fluff. This makes the content crisp and high in value. 

Being short and sweet is important when giving presentations, talking in seminars, or even in day-to-day conversations. 

This keeps people engaged and you can effectively convey your thoughts. 

Clear Communication

Miscommunication can be the undoing of all the hard work we do. Many times people say we are clear in our minds, but we can't express it properly. Well, you could write it down! 

Write down everything you want to say and either send that over or say it out loud. Clear communication makes personal and professional life easier.

This skill is exceptionally useful for people in managerial and academic positions. 


To Sum It Up...

It is not necessary that you learn how to write only to become a writer. Writing boosts creativity, promotes mindful thinking, and helps you find clarity! So, keep writing, keep learning, keep flourishing!

And that's when each player states their name and the state they are from. He makes each player who added the state name in their introduction stand away from the team. And that's when he delivers these iconic lines.  The crux of the chilling dialogue is that you first play for your country, then you play for your fellow teammates, and last and least you play for yourself.  While rewatching the movie for the 200th time, it made me think about it as a writer (probably because I was supposed to be working instead of watching a movie).  And it made perfect sense to paraphrase it and use it to become a better writer.  First, you write for your audience The readers who will be reading your content are your topmost priority. So, your first goal should be writing content that provides value. Furthermore, you presen
