The reader turns into a writer when he can’t find whatever satisfies his need
- For a very long time, I aspired to start writing. I remember as far back as 2015, the first time I seriously wanted to become a blogger. Back then, blogging for me was limited to short texts.
- I envisioned myself becoming an influencer who could captivate the minds of many, but things didn’t unfold the way I had imagined.
- The reason for this was the misguided premise I was operating under.
- In 2019, I began taking notes, first sporadically, then with more consistency. The process of daily reflection through writing reshaped the way I perceive the world and the challenges I face from morning till night.
- The notes allowed me to examine events, my emotions, and others’ emotions from a different perspective. I stopped addressing problems from the rigid standpoint of “must” and “should.”
- Of course, I still use those verbs in my notes, essays, and the chapters of books I am working on, but now I am more deliberate in how I use them.
- The habit of note-taking helped me understand a fundamental issue that many note-takers grapple with. Notes are not just meant to be written down—they are meant to be transformed into something meaningful: actions, experiments, or an evolving belief system.
- Note-taking typically occurs when a person is dissatisfied with something. It serves as an outlet to express frustration with whatever is troubling them.
- It could be anything, from trivial matters to more complex issues like problems in education or healthcare.
- Notes help us reflect on our experiences and organize our thoughts.
- My daily practice of note-taking gradually evolved into crafting essays and writing books.
- At present, I have ideas for several books and at least two dissertations—one for a PhD and another for a separate doctoral pursuit.
- However, the motivation behind my desire to write and share stems from my inability to find reading material that truly captivates me. I might sound presumptuous, but I genuinely couldn’t find satisfaction in reading Adler’s or Povarnin’s How to Read Books. They are excellent books, don’t get me wrong, but they are overdue for a revision. New techniques and approaches to reading and processing information have emerged that haven’t been adequately addressed.
- In essence, my urge to write notes, essays, and books has arisen from a deep dissatisfaction with existing literature, which hasn’t been updated to meet the current demands.
- I can sincerely say that I have had a “beef” with the world, and that is why I’ve been drawn deeper and deeper into writing and sharing.
- Over the past several years, almost unconsciously, I immersed myself in creative reading and creative writing.
- My notes and books have become tools to smooth out the sharp edges of the world that have wounded me.
- I found myself in conflict with the world—with the way our society consumes information, often poisoning itself with superficial or misleading content—and I resolved to engage in that conflict by creating a book that addresses the very issues I take issue with, particularly in the realm of reading.
- Essays continue to follow the course I’ve set for myself: sharing my ideas and engaging in a dialogue with the world.
- They, along with the books, are my way of confronting what I consider flawed or only partially correct.
- Through my books and essays, I strive to offer complex solutions that can be applied to the issues at hand.
- Books and essays are my way of distilling reality into its simplest, most universal forms: letters, words, sentences, and sounds.
- And then shaping all of it into the image I envision in my mind.
- The work I produce serves as a guideline for how one (myself, specifically) should live. They are there to help navigate life.
