I like to think that I am a good writer. I can put words on a page better than if I spoke them. I do not like public speeches, but I want to get my words out so I write. Some writers are very skilled. They can sit themselves down and bust out a story in no time. Others need inspiration and emotion to write. Both sides are great at what they do. The first group can write about the factual and structured side of something while the latter brings the emotion to the table and helps connect people to what they are writing.
I can do both, but I write better when I have inspiration.
I am a huge procrastinator. That is why I am sitting in the computer lab typing instead of watching movies with the rest of my class. But you eat from the plate you make I guess.
I am a big fan of simple, little quotes. They may be a few sentences, but contain so much meaning. Something simple like, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." A favorite of mine is a dialogue between an old Cherokee and his grandson.
Grandfather: "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth."
The boy thought about it, and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed."
A small tale about a big lesson. Controlling one's emotions is a hard task. Patience is key to keeping a cool head and having the right emotions. Someone who can control their emotions control every aspect of their own conscious. It keeps the mind and bodily urges in check.
