Writing Habit!

The schorlarly advocate a wide reading habit.Worlwide campaigns costing thousands of dollars are held annually to encourage the reading habit in general public.The four learning skills are exploited to achieve required target-reading,listening,speaking and writing.But,do we just stop at promoting readership without stirring the writing habit.

Readers need to mature with the writing habit.If readers keep on reading,then writing should be the reaping.They cannot be always reading and never writing.The end result of reading is writing.
We know reading increases knowledge. Whats the use of that knowledge if you do not know how to interpret them for daily living?Interpreting to daily practical living ends in writing,which is, your own practical formulae put into words.

All professions need the writing habit.Why are we not eagerly pushing for writing habit in the general public as well.You and I cannot read,read,read and not write in the end.Words are read and then spoken through proper understanding through listening and finally to be interprated with writing.We must promote the writing habit in people.As much as speaking is an expression of what we have learnt and understood,writing is the other effective form of expression and displaying maturity through learning.

Writing is to be encouraged in all persons,all age groups.This will act as an outlet for thoughts,ideas,beliefs,disbeliefs,doubts,confusion,truth ,lies, and many more intricate human reasoning.Writing evolves from reading,listening and speaking abilities.A person who is a public speaker will eventually be a public writer(if there is such a word).He speaks his mind through various channels.A husband is a public speaker so is a wife.A father is a public speaker to his children,so is the mother.A teacher is a public speaker to his students,so is the student who matures to become a professional in his adult life.Speaking your mind about everyday happenings and things around you would need various forms of expression outlet.Writing is one proven and effective form of expression.

The writing habit must come forward in every individual.It is not to be a chosen field for some only but for every individual.He or she must be able to express oneself clearly through effective writitng and responsibly leaving behind a writen expression of themselves for those that follow them,may it be their children or those placed under their responsible care.

Let us promote the writing habit as sign of maturity through the reading habit!
