Writing Today

by Philip Yaffe Part 6 of an occasional series I am a collector of quotations. I have been ever since I learned how to write, I mean professionally, not in primary school. I am particularly fond of what I like to call “pithy prose”. These short quotations can cover an unlimited variety of subjects: love, religion, politics, human nature, etc. What unites them is their ability to say more in one or two sentences than could be expressed in a thousand-word treatise. It’s like being able to pour a liter of liquid into a half-liter bottle. They are superb examples of Mark Twain’s famous dictum, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” In principle, all writers and public speakers are capable of producing pithy prose, but clearly some are better at it than others. Any collection of pithy prose must necessarily be biased in terms of what it includes and excludes. I make no apologies for my selections, only for the hundreds of other meritorious quotations I had to leave out. No one will agree with all these quotations; this was not their intention. You may even find some of them repugnant or outrageous. This was their intention. We seldom learn anything of value from what we already agree with. Only those ideas that grate on our nerves can open our minds. As with oysters, irritation can produce pearls. So if anything you are about to read annoys or shocks you, try to think clearly and dispassionately about what it is saying. You will either be confirmed in your current belief or shaken into re-examining it. Either way, you win! This article is part of an occasional series. In each article, I will be offering more amusing, educating, and exasperating quotations to your judgment. But just to be certain that we agree on what we are talking about, here it is in a nutshell. Pithy Prose: A quotation where at first you may not be quite certain what it means. But when you become certain, you become equally certain that it couldn’t have been said better any other way. In short, big ideas in small packages. If you have a better definition of pithy prose, please contact me. I would love to hear it. Who Is Friedrich Nietzsche? Friedrich Nietzsche (1944 - 1900) was a German philosopher who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. Central to his philosophy is questioning all ideas and dogmas that are not “life-affirming”, however much they may be part of the social fabric. His writings are believed to have strongly influenced Adolph Hitler. 1. A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. 2. Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it. 3. All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth. 4. Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot or a bad apple is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn’t. 5. At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid. 6. Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies. 7. Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions. 8. Fanatics are picturesque; mankind would rather see gestures than listen to reasons. 9. Fear is the mother of morality. 10. He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted. 11. In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play. 12. In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. 12. It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge. 13. It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters. 14. Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species. 15. Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes. 16. Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory it too good. 17. Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal. 18. Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual. 19. Mystical explanations are thought to be deep; the truth is that they are not even shallow. 20. No one lies so boldly as the man who is indignant. 21. Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride. 22. On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow. 23. Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob. 24. One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive. 25. One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed. 26. Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend. 29. Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent. 30. Success has always been a great liar. 31. Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself. 32. That which does not kill us makes us stronger. 33. The “kingdom of Heaven” is a condition of the heart - not something that comes “upon the earth” or “after death.” 34. The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer. 35. The best weapon against an enemy is another enemy. 36. The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions. 37. The doer alone learneth. 38. The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude. 39. The future influences the present just as much as the past. 40. The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends. 41. The most common lie is that which one lies to himself; lying to others is relatively an exception. 42. The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently. 43. There is in general good reason to suppose that in several respects the gods could all benefit from instruction by us human beings. We humans are - more humane. 44. There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings. 45. This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver. 46. Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate. 47. To forget one’s purpose is the commonest form of stupidity. 48. We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value. 49. We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers. 50. We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. 51. Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil. 52. When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one. 53. Without music, life would be a mistake. 54. Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth. 55. You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

AN FBI team is likely to reach Mumbai on Saturday to investigate the spots of the Mumbai carnage. The team of FBI investigators and forensic scientists coming to Mumbai as counter-terrorism officials were reported to be stunned at the level of coordination in the terror attacks in the city. The US media has reported on Friday that the FBI team would coordinate with Indian intelligence and security agencies about the planning and evidence collected on the attacks. They estimate that the widespread carnage could have been carried out for a relatively small price tag of between USD 100,000 and USD 200,00O which, they say, is the cost of machine guns, grenades, ammunition and boats used. The television network said intelligence agencies around the world are scrambling to identify the source of this latest threat in view of the “remarkable” coordination and sophistication. The command centres, set up by terrorists in places they attacked, may have allowed them to communicate from site to site. The attacks, US officials said, appear to mimic al Qaeda tactics simultaneous attacks on high profile targets in the heart of the financial district. What is deeply disturbing to US law enforcement officials, the report said, is that these militants may now be targeting Westerners, particularly Americans, to draw attention to their cause, despite not having a specific grievance against the United States.

Writing a quality article is never easy. There have been those that have tried it and went away disillusioned by the results. Why? There are a number of possible reasons for this. Let’s take a look at a few possibilities. Poor quality. Folks, let’s face it. The demand is for quality content. Poorly written or hard to understand articles just doesn’t cut it. People demand information that makes sense and that they can use in what ever niche they are interested in. No Clear Message. Similar to the poor quality reason mentioned above, an article that doesn’t have a clear message in it will often leave the reader wondering what the article was about. That’s even if they finish it at all. Odds are, if the readers doesn’t finish the article, they probably won’t visit the site either. Boring. If the article is nothing but a dry presentation of facts and figures, odds are it won’t get read. Many readers have a tendency to skim an article first before going back to read it again. Most readers don’t want to read just facts, they want to know how it applies to them. They want to be entertained. Presenting “just the facts” is not exactly considered light reading to the majority of readers. Keeping the reader’s interest is one of the keys to being successful at writing articles. So, what’s the solution and how does one write those interesting articles? Being organized is one of the keys to successful article writing. Being able to get your ideas across to your readers in a clear concise manner goes a long way to keeping your readers happy. With this in place, you will be able to get your message across to your readers and issue that call to action that will get your readers’ interest up and keep it up. Writing or creating an interest grabbing title is a major key. If the title is boring, odds are your article will not be read. This is the first thing your potential readers will see so try to work out titles that make them want to stop to read what you have to say. Get passionate about what you are writing about. I don’t know about you, but I have read many articles about the subject of Internet Marketing. Some promoted one technique or another as their success strategy. The articles that stood out in my mind the most were the ones that the writer was impassioned about. It was evident in how the article was written and it kept my interest. Still others gave good information, but lacked that zeal I mentioned earlier. It was very evident in the way the article was put together. It was clear, it was concise. But there was little sparkle in it. Another successful writing tip is to get personal with your readers. While this is not always possible, there are times and places in your article writing that you may be able to share a personal experience. It may be in the form of a tip, something you learned, or a discovery you made. The point is you are talking to your readers not at them. Being able to write great articles does not come easily to every one. Some are gifted with the ability to express their ideas in clear meaningful ways. The rest of us have to work at it. Writing great articles is not impossible, it just takes work and development of your particular writing style. Using the tips mentioned above, you can be successful.

Translation is a process of gathering the meaning of a text or a document from an unknown language, to a known language that communicates the same meaning. Now it is estimated that there are nearly 7000 languages in the world that include the popular languages of English, Arabic, Portuguese, Korean, Russian , Spanish, Mexican to name a few. Language is one of the important parts of our life that changes from time to time. A person who translates a language into another is called a translator. The translator should have the following qualities. To translate, he should be versatile in both the languages that are involved in the translation. The interpreter should have good communication skill. Care should be taken to avoid misinterpretation. The more the text is concise, the better chances exist to be understood. Portuguese is rated the 6th popularly spoken language in the world. With approximately 240 million native speakers talking Portuguese, polish translation becomes a very important service to reach people. General observation points to that Portuguese people like Japanese, Korean and Chinese use local language for formal and informal communication. English or other languages find a meager role to play in their business or personal communication. Thus translation plays a very important role to reach the local people. Polish translation does not mean translation of the words from the originating language to its equivalent in Portuguese. Many free online tools exist that provide instant polish translation from any language but such translations are full of errors because they simply translate words from the originating language to its equivalent in Portuguese. When translating from any language to Portuguese care should be taken to ensure that the meaning of the sentence translated is synonymous to the sentence in the original text. Many websites today offer polish translation as a part of their translation services. Polish translation by non speakers of Portuguese has got its own pitfalls like grammatical errors, etc. Hence, it is wise to ensure that the translator is a native speaker or has been resident of Portugal or Portuguese dominating countries. Portuguese speakers have been successful in polish translation on account of their in-country living and familiarity with the appropriate usage of the language. The style of conversation and information presentation plays a vital role for the business community marketing. Polish translators have become an important resource in conferences and meetings, editing and proofreading, software localization, voice over, dubbing, transcription, content writing, desktop publishing and so on. Polish translation is required in the areas of engineering, medical, law, art, business, science, advertising and public relations to name a few. Common usage of polish translation is seen in business websites targeting the Portuguese speakers. More areas of polish translation are gaining popularity as the Internet widens its horizon to reach business to the nook and corner of the world. About the Author: Adelajda Rymut is a Polish Translator working with .78international.co.uk translation agency, specializing in English to Polish and Polish to English translations. It provides its clients with high quality Polish Translation at surprisingly reasonable price.

Proofreading and editing one’s own writing is very difficult. A quick reread seldom exposes the errors inherent in the work, but following the steps discussed in this article, should help you develop an efficient and effective method of proofing and editing your writing. These steps will help you become a better editor and in turn a better writer. 1. Spacing after punctuation. Make sure to use only one space between sentences. The double space was used on the typewriter to help the reader differentiate between sentences. It is not necessary to add the extra space when using a word processing program and many offer the option of alerting you when you’ve added an extra space. The first thing I do when I edit a piece is a search and replace of all the double spaces. 2. Web site versus website. The second thing I do is a search and replace of all the incorrect and often inconsistent uses of Web site. The World Wide Web, or the Web as it is more commonly referred to, is a proper noun, hence it should be capitalized. Site or host or any other word that we try to combine with Web is in fact its own word. 3. Internet versus internet. The third thing I do before I begin to edit a piece of writing is to perform a search and replace for the incorrect and again often inconsistent uses of Internet. The same principle applies here. Internet is a proper noun and therefore is always capitalized. 4. Apostrophes. Next, I actually read the piece with an eye out for certain apostrophe errors

Break out of your comfort zone: Write and relate with those who are different to YOU. Traditionally, when we contemplate the Internet and all its inherent possibilities in terms of relating and communicating with other people, we think of it as a tool to meet those who are similar to us. In an era where people can often feel disconnected to one another because of overpopulation, geographical separation, or differences in perspectives on life, the Internet has become a medium where we can meet others of like mind, belief, experience and who have similar interests and fields of expertise. However, let us view the other side of the proverbial coin of communicative opportunity: The Internet opens channels where we can meet and learn to understand and empathise with those who have completely different outlooks to our own. Opening our eyes to try and feel what it’s like to experience and perceive the world from a person’s shoes that we’d normally never spend time relating with is a chance to expand our minds, as well as our compassion and comprehension of other human beings. For example, let’s say you’re travelling on public transport in your home city, be it on the bus, train, tram, boat, or even taxi. When are you most likely to start up a conversation with a stranger? Usually, the answer will be when you see something in that person that relates to your own world. If you’re an Information Technology student and you see someone reading a Wired magazine, there’s a definite sign the person in question may have something of interest to say. Why do we talk to strangers on occasion? It’s because we’re social creatures, and we’ve learnt to understand that you never know when your meeting with a new person could change your life, be it in a small or large fashion. When do we not think twice about talking to someone? That’s easy; when the person looks like someone we have nothing in common with, we often feel speaking to them would be a waste of time and effort. Don’t judge a book by its cover! How many interesting people, whether or not they have something in common with us, do we miss out on meeting everyday? How many people have you come across whom after getting to know them, are totally different from your preconceived ideas of what they’d be like? How many had different views than your own, but were very interesting nonetheless? The Internet gives us access to many different kinds of people, via their websites, blogs, forums, chat rooms etc. Why only search out those people that already see life similarly, or who are interested in the same topics as you? If you believe in and write about the virtues of democracy, does this mean you should discount the socialist’s perspective on society? Their views are just as valid as your own, and if you do attempt to understand their perspectives, you never know what depth of knowledge you can achieve. When our minds expand, so do the depths of our actions. Instead of judging others for having different beliefs, why not undertake a rapport with the opposing side? Discussion and conversation via blog comments etc. gives us an opportunity to gain insight, and thus wisdom, by obtaining a more holistic view of an issue. Take a classical pianist who one day accidentally walks into a bar where the piano player is playing jazz. Do they walk straight back outside because the whole jazz philosophy contrasts so intensely to their own learned classical musical theories? Or, do they wait until the end of the show to have a chat with the jazz player? This is how new genres of music have formed. If we’re open to new ideas, even if they clash with our own current way of seeing things, the results can be phenomenal. On the Internet you may have a blog or website dedicated to your love of digital photography. There are lots of other people you can ‘talk shop’ with out there, to get new ideas on how to make interesting and artistic photos. But what about that lady whose site is dedicated to the more archaic and traditional SLR camera photographic techniques? If you strike up a conversation with her about why she chooses to stick with the old technology, you never know what insight it could give you for your own efforts. The experience of relating to people different from ourselves may not be comfortable for you, especially if you hold your belief close to your heart, and others’ beliefs are in direct contrast to your own. Let’s say you have a ‘Pro choice’ website that is dedicated to spreading the word about the right to have an abortion. Normally, in this situation we might steer clear of ‘Pro life’ websites and blogs whose content is the complete anathema of our own. However, if you can communicate, read and relate to these opposing idealists, a lot could come from the experience. At the least, you’ll have a much better idea of why they believe what they do, and know like yourself, they’re simply people who believe they’re doing something for the good of humanity. Anger could dissipate, empathy could be ignited and friends could be made. If you have a small business that sells a niche product like skateboards, you could focus all of your writing and marketing efforts on attracting the people who already buy your product. On the other hand, the real way to expand your income opportunities is to excite people who currently have little interest in what you do. What kind of articles or promotions could you write that might incite new types of customers to buy? It’s so easy for us to find a comfortable place in the world, whether it’s in our living room, neighbourhood, or website/Internet community. The danger with becoming too comfortable is that our minds become stiff and brittle, our emotions numb and our spirits hungry for something more. When we write on the Internet, be it on a blog or your own company’s website, don’t be afraid to communicate with those who you imagine are different to you. What other people have to offer isn’t written on their faces, and often isn’t even written on their site’s pages; the act of exploration into the often scary, mysterious unknown can show us what our community as a whole has to offer, as well as what we ourselves have to give to others.
