Writing the great equaliser

Writing is the most democratic of all the ventures.Historically words(ideas) has proven to be much more powerful than any of the mightiest men ,armies and even weapons.Yes ideas are neutral their implication can be very violent.In spite of that The ideas promoted through Torah,Bible,Bhagwat Gita,Quran, have changed lives in more ways than any Cesar,king , maharajah,Shah or sheik did.

It is very important that any child of ten who can write what he sees ,thinks discusses and projects is as powerful as any president or king. I remember what Warren Buffet said to the students of his Alma mater .He said all of them were worth one million dollars at least in future earnings and if they learned to communicate well they would be worth another 500 thousand dollars .That five hundred thousand dollars is for writing clearly,speaking clearly and using newer media that is video and audio in the best possible way.

Naturally one needs ideas to communicate and the ability to communicate is the extra which can increase earnings of a businessman,doctor,engineer and politician.First step in better communication is better writing.Every child should be encouraged to read ,write video tape,interview,and publish to get the benefits of the coming future.

In this time it is much easier to be pamphleteer than it used to be. Blogs have made it even more democratic.
