Dear friends, it is with great displeasure that i write this
one... I am not craving for your sympathy-not at all! But I shall let you have
a taste of my paining story.
No! I won’t bore
you with all my emotional jargons_ so my story will start from the end;
...and that was
how the 21st century was crowned the most non-resourceful of all centuries
A spy on the past
would reveal how much zeal and passion existed in the minds of our forefathers
to pen every of their thoughts, ideas and discoveries. They worked selflessly
for the sake of we_ people of the new generation.
I am pained
because we have failed to sustain the legacy of those men who built the foundation
of the construction of a luxurious planet. I am even more pained because the
youths in this age languish lazy in so much ink yet never thinks of penning
down any of his ideas. Okay, as a proof of our guilt to this intellectual
impotency, I shall let you answer just one question.
When was the last time you created a write
up?
I am cork sure
that a sincere answer from everyone would reveal that over 80% today’s youths
write averagely only twice a year.
Have you not ever
thought that you might be a burden to the would if you continue reading those
nicely published write-ups but you never for once make one of your own?...Well,
the plan of this article is not to scold the selfish folks whose pen never
spice up a piece of paper_ but I write to highlight the importance of "excessive
“writing.
"The
world of books is the most remarkable creation of man; nothing else that he
builds ever lasts. Monuments fall; nations perish; civilizations grow old and
die out. After an era of darkness, new races build others; but in the word of
books are volumes that live on still as young and fresh as the day they were
written, still telling men's hearts of the hearts of men
centuries dead.
-Clarence Day"
If only we would
all re-awaken our sleeping minds and re-appoint our relegated pens to continue
the construction of a gallant castle for our tomorrow....
Hmmm.... I
hope that pep talk did something and if it didn’t trigger even the tiniest
writing passion in you, here is a sincere advice from me to you.
