The essence of writing is cognitive upgrading. Yes, the results of long-term writing can indeed achieve the purpose of cognitive upgrading. But for novices in writing, we still need to clarify what the motivation is for writing, what kind of content can be written, and what should we pay attention to during the writing process?

1. As a learner, writing is a process of building a self-knowledge system.

Times are changing too fast. In order to avoid being eliminated, individuals must become lifelong learners. At the same time, we are really lucky to have high-quality knowledge service platforms such as Dehui and Fan Deng Reading Club. In order to save users' time and reduce readers' selection pressure, readers and listeners can easily learn from scholars in different fields. The result of several years of research.

But we all have this experience. In our study career, even if the same class and the same teacher explain, the final acceptance effect between students is very different. Even if there are high-quality famous teachers on the platform, their explanations are profound and simple, but these essences may not be able to be integrated into the knowledge network of the audience and readers themselves.

Knowledge payment is originally a reverse learning process, which provides the input part of knowledge; while writing is a painstaking process of building one's own knowledge system, which provides the output part of knowledge. Only by continuously improving the cyclic process of writing-feedback-input-improvement-writing can a person continue to improve.

As a writing novice, you can write some reading notes and experiences in the early stage. Review the learning content after a period of time. After all, the knowledge that has been filtered by time is your own. If you want to go further, you can add your own understanding and personal content to the article based on the experience of predecessors and teachers. After all, everyone wants to be the person standing on the shoulders of giants.

2. As a sharer, writing can satisfy the desire for self-expression

As social media becomes more and more developed, everyone has the need to share interesting things about their lives. But we are not handsome men and beautiful women who can attract attention just by their outstanding appearance; nor are we rich second-generation people with huge fortunes who can experience a wonderful and colorful life. Fortunately, we can write, use the power of words, and touch people’s hearts with stories.

Many people like to tell stories, especially stories that happen around them. If you can share it with everyone, it will easily satisfy your desire to express yourself. And everyone likes to listen to stories, and sometimes they can have emotional cries. And stories can stand the test of time. When thinking about the past, people may have forgotten the theme, but they can still recall the scenes of the story inside.

Dry food is nutritious, but not easy to digest. We all have the urge to write down the philosophical quotes and wise aphorisms we encounter. Times have changed, and when we think about these dry facts again, without the support of stories and background, the truth will appear particularly pale and unconvincing. Therefore, every writer needs to consciously cultivate his or her storytelling ability.

3. As a "spectator", writing can best express your own opinions.

The development of the Internet has made our world smaller and smaller, and news events happening in every corner of society may become hot spots. Through the screen, it seems as if each of us is at the scene of the event and can become a "spectator". You also want to share your views on some social hot topics. But you will get different writing effects from different angles.

When you stand in the middle of an incident, there will always be people involved in the incident, and your opinions will also be mixed with your own subjective value judgments. People who share your values ??will support you, but you will also be reviled by opponents. No matter what other people's attitude is, this kind of writing will always attract huge traffic.

Standing outside the incident, the views you express are more objective. On the basis of respecting the truth, no value judgment will be made on the parties involved. This kind of writing is superficially a hot topic, but in fact it is hoped that one's own thoughts will be used to inspire readers.

Hotspot means huge attention, and other people will take advantage of it. After all, everyone wants to be one step ahead. But in the early stages of the incident, we only saw edited reports, and we did not fully understand the parties involved. Is the value orientation expressed at this time correct? Sometimes, if events were reversed, would the outcome you advocated hurt one party invisibly? Do you have to be responsible for the content you publish?

4. As an exporter, writing is a shortcut for ordinary people to build a personal brand.

In modern society, people are increasingly aware of the importance of influence and hope to build their own personal brands. But a brand is not just about letting most people know you. It also needs to let people know what kind of value you will provide when they discover you.

Many writers work part-time and have their own main business. Some writers have their own specialties, which in themselves can become factors that provide value to others. Written in conjunction with one's own profession, it provides readers "outside the wall" with the opportunity to understand the industry background and scope of responsibilities. By writing based on your own interests and expertise, you can reach a circle of people with similar hobbies and even inspire more people's enthusiasm.

What can support a personal brand is whether it can continue to provide value to others. Since you are providing value to others, you must consider the readers' feelings when writing, and the writer himself must always cultivate his own user thinking. In many articles, the author only emphasizes "what" and tells readers some basic overview. A more skillful author will go one step further and be able to dig deeper into the mechanism and tell readers some of the "why" behind it. Having done this, the article is already very well written. Some authors can also bring readers closer and tell them how to achieve it. The "how" can be reflected in the article. At this time, readers will pay more and more attention to you.

Writing is an output process that requires constant effort, but we must fully understand that only those who give can receive more.

There is something to be learned from reading and perseverance from practicing.

"Zeng Guofan's Family Letters" contains the contents of 1,500 family letters, spanning 30 years from the 30th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty to the 10th year of Tongzhi. Zeng Guofan only lived 61 years old. Regardless of the political, military, political, academic, etc. content involved in the letters, or the inconvenience of writing at the time, and Zeng Guofan was very busy with affairs, we only consider the number of letters. The average number of letters collected alone is one letter a week. , and continued to do so for 30 years. The goal of the 007 writing community is to write one article every seven days and continue writing for seven years. This is enough for all of us practitioners to admire. I hope everyone will be encouraged by this.

Now that you’ve seen this, give it a like and go!
