Write, Read and Lead.
When you write you learn, when you learn you lead.
As a content writer you must know how to read, and as a reader or learner it's a must you know how to write. They go both ways for a realistic balancing. This is what I love doing, just to read and write.
I read about history because I want to know mote of where I'm coming from so therefore to be prepared for the task ahead of me( in clearing my path for the future). I read about technologies including both the scientist and engineers that brought such to existence.
Yes, I love reading and writing about human emotions, we're built with emotions don't forget that.
So, whenever I feel empty, like I am running out of knowledge, i listen to podcast or I pick up a history book, literature, novel or current affairs bulletin just to get more knowledge of the situation going on in my country and the world. The brain needs more data to be stored in it day by day.
In regarding the way I read these knowledgeable item, it mustn't be hard copy, but soft copy too. That's why the internet (Google) is there, that's why we all of YouTube channels. So many mediums to get more knowledge as the day goes by and so the refined content and context I write down.
When I read I feel energize, knowledge has been accumulated immediately I bounce back to writing sharing my comprehensive information and thoughts.
When you see or hear an individual that is acquainted with reading and writing and speaking, you don't need anyone to tell you this individual is very constructive, modified and composed.
There's no reading without writing and there's no writing without reading. It's difficult for one to happen without the other following suit. The brains is programmed for that. It is natural.
This pattern has become my lifestyle, my niche and a routine. Unlike at young age when I'm been told or forced to stay indoor and read my books I will be feeling sad thinking I was being punished. Now look at the same individual craving for enough time to be with books and journals.
I now get satisfied when never I attend seminars or conferences relating to content creation, writing and journalism, I've noticed how impactful it is. I get to meet mentors, coach and dignitaries. So tell me why don't I love readers and writers even content creators are included in this occasion.
In summary, these as a routine for me has sharpen and shaped my system of reading and comprehension pattern. So seeing large volumes of books or long recorded taped videos don't make me feel exhausted, I tend to program myself on how to digest words faster and better.
Reading is psychological and fun, writing is skillful and comprehensive.
So I will advice you all to cultivate that habit of always reading, making the learning phase easy, automatically making you become a leader of your own decisions because you must have gather sufficient knowledge.
Always read, write, learn and lead
