Who Is A Writer? (2)

Yesterday we began a core topic, 'Who Is A Writer?' I've gotten hundreds of mail in my inbox thearenamag@gmail.com even though there has been no comment here in the comment box. Amazing and interesting comments, among many other comments, a writer sent me a mail. I'm going to paraphrase her words. 'Now I know how powerful and highly esteemed writers are. I'm a writer, but all my life, I've always seen myself as one irrelevant person that just loves writing, and not appreciated by anyone. After reading your post on Who Is A Writer, it dawned on me that I'm a world changer! I'm now so certain that I have the solution that the world seek. The world is waiting for of to pen down those uncommon ideas so they can move on from there! Am going to write like never before, bearing in mind that am a major factor and player in the beautification, realization and actualization of an ethereal world.'

Isn't that amazing? That first article on 'Who Is A Writer' that I published yesterday fired her up positively, it built her confidence, increased her self-esteem and boosted her efficiency, commitment, passion, and zeal.

¤Your authority As A Writer

Such is the power and influence you posses as a writer. Your written or spoken words form the basis of someone else's existence. You're the reason people live. You're the reason they decide to press on despite the challenges they encounter. Your words are a PANACEA for their existence!

Without the books Thomas Jefferson read, he wouldn't have become a one-time great American president. Without the books Nelson Mandela, the first South African president, read, he would have been intimidated and forgone his dream of rescuing South Africa from the apartheid; he would have lost his voice, and consequently, others wouldn't have found theirs.

¤Humans Are Products Of Information

Every writer you see, hear of, or have ever heard of are products of information. Every world-changer or great achiever you see, hear of. Or have ever heard of are products of information. This accounts for the reason that only scholars and writers of certain level are mental giants.

¤YOUR success Is Limited To The Information You Have

Man cannot excel or succeed beyond the knowledge he has. Your success in life is limited to the information you have. That is why you must seek knowledge, and crave to soar high! How do you seek knowledge? By reading positive material you can lay your hands on-wait a second, that you can lay your h**ds on? NO! Go out of your way to read materials. There materials will build you to a certain level. Secondly, you can only soar high by experimenting what you learn. A pragmatic approach to life is what puts you above. When ideas surge up within you,  KNOW someone needs those thoughts that naturally comes to your mind, put it down in a paper. Sometimes, you could feel it is you who need those ideas. Put it down! If it interests you, it will also interest some other person!

¤Writers Are Cherished

In 2008, I wrote an article on Cheating. In that article, I explained how that you cheat yourself and deny yourself of freedom and peace when you cheat. And I also explained that when you cheat, you cripple your self-image, damage your self-esteem, and you directly assure yourself that you cannot succeed without hurting someone. Three months later, I got a call from an ardent reader of that newspaper telling me how that the article changed her mindset, and bequeathed her with a feeling of success.

*Words Travel Faster Than Light!

The lady that called me doesn't stay in the same state As I. That is to show that words travel very fast. As far as you have something to say, or write, say it, or write it. Don't fear that it might never be read or heard, after all you don't get to know all of your words that are read or heard. So, what does it matter? Ensure your article or story is a good one.

Everyone, the world over seek knowledge. They seek information. YES! This is the Information/Knowledge age. Knowledge/information rule the world!

Seek knowledge. Seek to distribute knowledge. Seek information. Seek to distribute information. Only then will you have an audience. Only then will you have that assurance that your soul seek as a writer. And only then will you have excelled as a positive contributor to the issues that rid this world of morality and truth, wisdom and knowledge.

*What is Your Quota?

Being a writer helps you to contribute your quota in the world. Amazingly, virtually everyone has something to offer the world, but only a few actually take their time to ponder on these things, these are the unselfish ones. They know the information they will dish out will be greatly beneficial to somebody out there. Success is not about yourself or what you do; it is the personality you create for yourself. It is that natural ability to cause some other person to realize, and achieve their dreams in life.

In this world only those who speak are heard!
