WRITING: Humanity’s Treasure

Have you ever thought about how life would be for you if you did not know how to write or read?

I have. For me the invention of writing has been humanity’s greatest treasure. It allows us to learn and progress and become teachers, doctors, astronauts, lawyers, architects, engineers, computer wizards, business administrators, school principals, among other professions.

However, to become a good writer one must read…A LOT! Then, one should practice writing every day , and this brings us to the
“value of the month.”  Anybody can learn how to write, but to write well requires  constancy, discipline and hard work.

I would like to congratulate the students who excelled by writing short stories for the SEP’s competition, and the ones who wrote even in English! I am very proud of you and I urge you to continue writing every day. Remember, constancy is one of the keys to success.

Perhaps all of you, and I do mean ALL of you, can start a  Journal, if you haven’t already done so. This is a perfect way to practice, and to remember facts in case one day you decide to write your autobiography, as I am doing.

And what does it mean to be constant? To be faithful and dependent, to endure, to keep on.

So whatever it is you want to achieve, you must be constant. You must endure the hardship of working for your goals, like: practicing piano  two hours a day or getting up  very early on  Saturdays to practice Basketball, or  studying for three hours a day….and know that if you are constant, one day you will reap the benefits of your sacrifice.
