SECRET OF SUCCESS- EYES TO READ AND HANDS TO WRITE

“What you write is what you think and what you read is what you become”.

Imagine Nature as your favorite car 🚙 company and it made only one model which makes everything and everyone in motion, since this world is created. We all are riding this Evolution branded vehicle for a long time, having Time as fuel. Sometimes the speed is slow and other times, it is driving at sonic boom speed. Like other vehicles new features are also introduced by developers, called as God. This vehicle also needs maintenance when we drive harshly, as we all are riding the vehicles, we all need to pay the maintenance Price and the currency is Life.

So to portray the importance of Currency, the riders started the myth labeled conversation, saying that who sit on white and front seats are clean, good and forward people, those whose sits on black or back seats are backward people, and  they made the unsaid rule that we good people will take in charge and will drive the car as we want and wherever maintenance will be needed those bad one's will pay first. Remember the currency is Life.

With This short story I tried to portray how Today's Society is.

Among the many features which gets a drastic change with the growth of a human, one skill is ways of perceiving knowledge and delivering it to others. Today most of us like to hold hands of the things and people, who are in motion rather than the one's who are stationary. Very few ones stay with you in your stationary phase.

“A Running man can never tell when a leaf was broken from the bark”.

Today we all go through many video graphics medium, for example; YouTube, Television, gifs because we believe:-

• They are the only ones that can deliver the content so well that it will be understandable,
• They can provide variety of contents and information on what you really want to know, easily. Just at your finger tips.
• Less stressful to grasp and has many entertaining ways of delivering it.

People imitate others more, rather than choosing one for self. One reason for this can be the Shepherd rule, if mass people have this type of behavior, you also get a thought to give it a try. 

Its a common notion these days that, Eye + hear+ motion goes in great combo than Brain +eye+ stationary. I will sight one simple example for explaining this; more people watch football than chess, as chess is slow pace game then football.

Videos are more interactive, indulge and after some point addictive too.

 

“A book of fairy tales never shows you the princess, it allows you to imagine one for yourself”.

Our Generation believe that, using video to express ourselves, watching video to learn something or using gifs to show your feeling is the only better way for communicative exchange of thoughts. We spend hours on these videos which starts from one topic with a fresh mind and ends at something else with an exhaust one.

Sometimes movies, motivates you but that motivation does not last long as it is not being feed in you with days of process. Motivation, encouragement and learning comes with practice, belief and patience. These things needs a full cycle of process to build know;edge house inside you.

Kindly do not confuse me or this article by labeling it that I am against multimedia, believe me I am not, I am also one of you, who use multimedia for connecting to the world with zoom or Whatsapp video calls, I am not one of those who read newspapers every morning, in spite use inshorts to know the day's news. I am also not here to say authors disseminate the diamond words on pages and it’s the youth's duty to go through their creations. No! Absolutely not. We are the ones to decide the trends of generation, for ages, and this time it’s Multimedia.

“Youth have the authority to accept or reject and results are imitated by children and old”.

Now using the power of word “BUT”, I dare to draw a statement which Says there should be a Limit Line, sign Board or something like that in your mind, a border should be drawn, that will restrict the motion multimedia to takeover your whole learning process and methods to see the world.

 

READING

“Reading is a Conversation, All books talk. but a good book listens as well” said by Mark Haddon

Reading stationary things which includes books, newspaper, Nature and sometimes people also, question your understanding and knowledge on it. Once you learn to Read you will be forever free, then None can feed you his knowledge, his thoughts and his perspective to see things.

In the Reading process, you develop your own unimaginable way to see life, world and people. The child who reads today, will be an Adult who Thinks, in future. The journey of life starts when one learns to turn pages.

It is a food for thought. Why every CEO of well nourished company reads average of 6 books in month? Why do they not only watch the video? The answer to this is right here, because they are ones who make those video. Their knowledge, ideology and their perspective on the concerned matter become the content of it. They know that, people want to know but they do not have the patience to read. They always believe that something magical can happen when we read a good book.

"A Reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... the man who never reads live only one" By George R.R Martin.

WRITING

“It all started with Writing, if no one had ever written anything, no one would have got anything to Read”

When reading allows to step into a scene, then let it drip from your fingers to a paper. The true alchemists do not change lead into gold, they changes the world into words, They make the blueprints of the present society, people, their ideology and what it  will lead to in the end, on the flat surface by the pen tip.

Writing has many forms and it is being practiced since the ancient times, by painting on caves, on their body, by arranging things in some sign etc. Writing is a medium of flow of information with time. Till today we have many writings in many genre, Like Literature  “The Traficall Historie of Hamlet” by William Shakespeare or the mythology Ramayana by Valimiki, religious text Vedas, manga for the cartoonist and what not.

There is a saying “If you want to destroy any country's culture and its roots, then destroy their books” which occurred at Nalanda University. It flourished over the next seven centuries since the 5th century before it was destroyed by a marauding Turkish force led by Bakhtiyar Khalji at the end of the 12th century. When the fire broke out in the Nalanda library, we can imagine the amount of books in the library that it kept on burning for one month.

Today’s writer wants to portray themselves more to the public then to their content. We are now living in the era of consumption, where happiness comes from when someone else accept you on social media handles, more brand on body signify your class. How to sell yourself is more important than your knowledge or skill. Today we become poet only when we are sad and writers when there is social trends going on.

For Me Writing is something more deep apart from above mentioned scene.

Lets discuss some question to understand the importance of Writing

Why should we write?

Writing makes you empty from Inside, seeing fills you. (way of healing)

Writing is exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go. It Permits you to be more than what you are and permits you to experience life as any number of strange creations.

Writing is a form of therapy, sometimes those who write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

It teaches us the first and the foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that is a gift and a privilege, not a right.

Someone said really well that “You must stay drunk on writing so that reality cannot destroy you”.

A writer is a writer not because she writes easily nor because she has amazing talent, or because everything she does is golden, a writer is a writer because, even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.

Writing means Sharing, its a part of the human consciousness to want to share things- thought, ideas, opinions.

Don't forget- No one else sees the world the way you do. So no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.

 

What should we Write?

Write the story that's in your heart and not the one you think will pay the most money.

If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it because creating something that did not exist before is as close to a magic that you will ever get.

Write the stories which make you to stay faithful to the stories in your head. All you have to do is write one true sentence, write the truest sentence that you know.

“As a Writer you try to listen to what others aren't saying... and write about the silence.” by N.R Hart

How to Write?

Description of the writing should begin in the writers imagination but it should finish in the reader's heart.

When you sit down to write something, you should not say to yourself that "I am going to produce a work of art", you should write it because you want to expose some fact, to which you want to draw attention and your initial concern should be to get heard.

Hard Writing makes Easy Reading and Easy Writing makes hard reading, Perhaps we should write for the same person children are writing for when they scrawl their names in the snow or on dusty car.

The two most important word for a Writer is “What if”. And whatever you get as the answer to it, in proper words is writing.

On one thing all writers would agree is that, to become a good writer you need to write a lot.

Keep in mind that the world will never be the same once a good poem or book is written.

There is no rule on how to write, sometimes it comes easily and perfectly, sometimes it is like drilling a rock and then blasting it out with grenades.

 

 

 

Conclusion on Reading and Writing

At the End of Story line, I want to convey that it is up to you to choose the path you want to walk along for grasping knowledge, but whenever you feel confused or lost, give them a try, I am sure of it that they will not discourage you.

In my childhood someone taught me “A diary for reading and writing are our best and the most loyal friend, it stays with us in every phase of life, it doesn’t become upset because you do not talk to it for long time, it doesn’t share your secret with others and it stays with you till your last breath” and along the line in life I learnt it. As a Parent first you need to develop the habit of reading and writing  because children imitate they don’t learn from books, they learn what they see and hear. Learning the habit of reading and writing may or may not make you a writer but it will surely make you written.

Hope this article help you in some way in your life journey. Lets meet again at the end of the road “Asta La Vista”.
