Writing is not just a means of communication but also a mental exercise that stimulates creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. It’s like a workout for the brain, keeping it active and agile.
The more I write, the more I want to write. The older I am, the more I consider writing as an exercise for the mind. This mental activity, while challenging, is a way to leave a meaningful and profound trace of my existence. I know that practice makes perfect. Undoubtedly, today (I wrote this text on the 30th of October, 2023), I write more efficiently and clearly than when I regularly started writing (it happened in May 2017). Still, I know I have much work to do to become a writing master. Is it possible that a Pole would become such a master at writing in English? Joseph Conrad’s writings proved everything is possible. Do I plan to challenge a famous Polish-British writer? No, I do not have such a plan. I hope to write until I die.
Writing, on the same level as doing street photography, makes me fly.
There is no better way to leave a meaningful and profound trace of one’s existence than sharing one’s thoughts with others. Thousands of books from previous decades and centuries proved there is no better way to exercise the mind and leave some noteworthy ideas for posterity. I cannot prove it anyhow; nevertheless, I am confident that regular writing for more than six years has improved my ability in various mental cases, including working in broadly defined Finance. Undoubtedly, thanks to recurring notes, I developed my imagination.
My thoughts and their expression became more apparent, transparent, and efficient for me.
If you also write, my Dear Friend, I bet you have similar experiences. How do I stimulate my desire to write? I do it by reading. Sometimes, reading takes only a few pages (or even less), and I want to write something myself. The truth is that I do not wish to posterity to name times in which I lived as the Dark Ages.
