I am Yi yi, a self-media blogger who has been writing for 5 years, and a multi-platform contracted author. Share self-media writing and personal growth dry goods every day to grow with you.
When I was a child, the most hated thing I did was to write essays, writing essays were too difficult for me, the composition assigned by the teacher, others could write it in half an hour, I wanted to spend a whole day, maybe not as good as others wrote in half an hour.
Later, I volunteered to choose science and engineering, thinking that I would never have to write again.
However, contrary to expectations, you need to write a thesis after graduating from college.
Work, to write emails, to write daily newspapers, to write weekly reports, to write summaries, to write project documents... You can't escape writing wherever you go.
I realize the importance of writing, and there are some things you can't hide from.
Instead of running away and worrying about fear, it is better to face the problem and solve the problem.
It was also because writing opened another window for me.
1. Writing is the best self-expression
I'm a more introverted person, and once my boss came back from a client site, pulled his face and walked into his office.
After a while, he talked to everyone once, and it was so loud that almost the entire building heard it.
There are a few girls who come out and cry, thinking that the boss is unreasonable, he is angry with customers, why take the employees out of anger.
Coming home from work that night, I combed through the causes, passes, and results of the whole thing.
Wrote an article about what kind of boss can't follow, posted it online.
After 2 hours, the number of likes was as high as a thousand.
Everyone has a desire for self-expression, and I think writing is the best way to express it.
Write not for others, but for yourself.
Record the mood, story, growth of each stage of life, and when you are old, when you look back, it is not a valuable asset.
2. The best way to force yourself to grow
Some people say that writing is a great way to force yourself to grow.
When I first started writing, I always found the topic of writing every day, and there was endless content to write.
But after writing for a while, I found that I really didn't know what to write, and my thinking dried up.
Watching others write articles every day, I have no topic to write, especially anxious.
Why this problem arises, I think about it every day, and after a week, I finally figured it out.
Writing is output, which is like the outlet of a reservoir, the water is constantly flowing away from the reservoir, how to make the reservoir water not flow out.
There are 2 ways to do this, one is to turn off the outlet, which means that I don't write anymore, which is not the result I want.
The other is to make the water flowing in the reservoir more than the water flowing out, so that the reservoir will not run out.
Inflow is equivalent to the input in writing, to do more, there must be input, invisibly forcing me to continue to learn every day, only by supplementing enough nutrients, can I write articles with souls, flesh and blood.
And writing can make your logical thinking more and more rigorous.
Writing must not be about where to write, before you start, like building a house, you have to set up a frame, and then fill the frame with content.
The process of building a framework is the process of thinking about the rationality of the logical structure of the article, the framework is not right, and the article is difficult to convince others.
3. Writing is the best weapon for spreading personal influence
When my former leader left, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me: You are now in the company no matter how well you mix, leaving nothing.
My understanding of this sentence is that working in the company, in addition to making money, may also be more to build their own networks and circles, enhance their influence, once you leave the company, these are all gone.
How to make your influence can accompany a lifetime, without relying on a company, I think of a way is to create their own personal IP, continue to output valuable content on a more platform, let more people notice you, pay attention to you, and establish links with you.
As a simple example, if you tell a company how to write, the size of your company is the upper limit of your influence.
If the company has 100 people, you can influence 100 people the most, and if the company has 10,000 people, you can influence 10,000 people at the most.
But if you put training online, he can affect a billion people at the maximum, which is not an order of magnitude.
Even if you only have deep links with 1,000 of them, there is nothing you can't do in China.
4. Writing is the best investment
A lot of people are saying that the best investment in this era is writing, and I couldn't understand how it was going to happen at the beginning.
Until one day, I found that the article I wrote a year ago was still read, commented, liked, and still brought me a steady stream of income, and I believed.
Writing is long-term idea thinking, writing an article may take 3-5 hours, but it can bring long-term compound interest benefits, as long as your article is not deleted, it is possible to be seen, linked.
It can sell the fruits of your knowledge an unlimited number of times, and the marginal cost tends to zero as the number of people increases.
No investment may be able to bring thousands of times the return like writing. Buffett's annualized return on investment is only 10%.
