Hello dear readers, I open this publication with the following sentence:
"Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people." William Butler Yeats.
Communication is an art, whether it's in spoken or written language. There are people who have a great deal of knowledge in certain areas, however, no matter how hard they try to express an idea they may not be able to make it understood. And the fact is that to communicate is not only about having knowledge and knowing how to speak or write, but the proper use of ideas, of comparisons, is vital when communicating with a person or a group of people.
I have known people with an impressive capacity to absorb knowledge, who are great readers, however, at the moment of expressing themselves they cannot do it or simply do not know how to start, how to make the other person see what they want to see or how to answer what the other person is asking them. For this reason I think that the number of teachers is very large, but the number of "good teachers " is not so high, I think that in a way something similar happens with those of us who write on this platform...
There are issues of scientific, economic, philosophical, and other human knowledge that are often a little complex to understand, but our task as bloggers is to make our ideas clear, linked coherently to each other, and not to seem like a bunch of ideas in a post that have nothing to do with each other, I explain?
That is, there is a very basic order that I consider we should handle in general terms when writing, for me it would be the following:
Introduction, development and closing.|
So, without further ado, I think this is very basic to share our thoughts regarding any specific topic. I usually read some publications in which I feel that there is no logical order, I do not perceive at any moment that a closing is approaching and suddenly the post is over, and when I finish reading it also instead of not being aware of something new, what I end up with is more doubts, I make the effort to read it again, and I end up not understanding. Has something like this happened to you?
This brings its consequences, obviously. They are users that I will not really look for again to read, they are publications that I will go through without stopping, because I might consider that it is not worth spending my time on something that is not going to leave me anything. I'm probably being a bit radical, but time is very precious, and I think we should all make an effort to share content that leaves something in the reader, and if there isn't an effort to do that, I don't think there should be an effort to read it... this is a very personal position, obviously, that you might not agree with.
Another point I consider important:
Proper use of images
"Of all the inventions for mass communication, images still speak the most understood universal language. " Walt Disney
This is another of the great aspects in a publication, the images fulfill several functions, as I see it. One of them is the one that is striking, we cannot place, or we should not put as the main image something that does not catch the reader, that does not introduce him just by looking at the topic we are going to develop. Much more if we consider that at present we can count on millions of copyright-free images for this purpose.
Another important aspect of the images is that they give the reader a break, especially in long publications, they are really necessary.
I could not finish this post without mentioning that there are basic spelling and grammar rules specific to each language, we must try to respect them, the use of a period, a comma, are necessary pauses many times. A paragraph of 60 continuous lines is usually exhausting, the best thing is to learn how to use them correctly.
And to finish, I must declare myself imperfect (like everybody), in spite of having three years writing, I still make certain mistakes, but I make my best effort to improve, more considering that English is not my native language, and generally I write for Anglo-Saxons.
We are all in a continuous learning process... it is a reality.
I wanted to share these thoughts with anyone who would like to stop by and read me, I am open to all comments and suggestions.
Thankful in advance I say goodbye with the following sentence:
"To communicate effectively, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use that knowledge as a guide to communicate with others." Tony Robbins.
I authorize the use of this banner to everyone who wants to do it.
