Based on the statement:

“Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say.” ~Sharon O'Brie

     If we knew that writing we have access to unlimited knowledge, would you don't? Writing is a pleasing that gives us procedurally the diversity of knowledge that every human being really deserves to obtain for example Sharon O'Brie say “Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning; also the Colombian writer Héctor Abad Faciolince expressed, "that way of sinking sounds, like on a piano, to turn ideas into letters and words"I have always considered writing as one of the most wonderful activities only for the magic of discovering something new that binds us to want more. “Knowledge is the most sensible drug of human being”. Andrés Beleño. is paradoxical to believe that if a clock stops in some moment does mean that the time stops too; the knowledge does not stop if you take or not the decision to write, there will always be something new to learn therefore there will always be sources to write. Simone de Beauvoir says "Writing is a craft that is learned by writing". Take the decision to write isn’t the most difficult thing that you or I can do, the most difficult thing is to assume a writer's position (with responsibility) even if we aren’t writers; Are you able to do it or do you really risk getting to know a little more ?. Finally writing is a personal decision that not all reach easily, even if it is a simple act doesn’t have a mysterious complicity but what is certain is that the reward to write leads us more advanced levels where ignorance stops permeating our human nature.

Based on the statement:

"Writing in a daily basis is the most effective way to improve a writing skill.” ~Henry Carvajal

     Writing is a such relevant way of communication nowadays. Most people only think of communication as primarily speaking and listening. Recent studies consider that writing is the most structuralized and ideal bridge for effective human interaction. “You are what you write”  says Natalie Canavor,  author of Business Business Writing in the Digital Age. So, it would not be an exaggeration to say that good writing skills are the bedrock of good communication these days, and definitely there is no doubt that better grammar is largely a matter of practice. Good writers write everytime and everywhere. Good writers are inmerse in literature, spend long periods converging in good puntuaction, parts of speech, nominalizations, artfully arrangements, experimenting, exercising. Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest worldwide writers, used to spend many hours in the morning writing essays, and short tests. Hence, more time writing, better writing skills and ensure better impressions of you.  Even more if your job and career involves writing. In this way, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 73.4% of employers not only prefer candidates with high leadership skills but powerful and cleaver written communication skills. Other authors as Jason Fried, founder of Inc. Columnist claim that“If you are trying to decide among a few people to fill a position, hire the best writer. His or her writing skills will pay off” In other words, good grammar writing signifies  deep critical thinking skills, credibility and intellectuallity in which all of them are part of an integral communication.  In brief, it is not enough to know how to read or listen to people, if you characterize yourself as a caring, flexible and tolerant person or if you consider yourself smarter than everyone around you. Therefore, knowing how to write and write well is worth much more today and becoming an excellent writer requires great moments of analytical reading, serious, careful and demanding. So writing is one of the powerful reasons that make us live today in a totally competitive and narrow world as long as we  the art of writing is harvested day after day with discipline, education, training and motivation and becomes an element to compete, to innovate, to create, to solve conflicts, and especially, to become social leaders in our homes, companies and institutions to which we all belong.
