Been pretty busy, and tired also. Had a mind-numbing headache today, right from when I woke up to until around 3 pm!! So of course I decided to have sufficient rest (and I think I had more than enough…) So anyway, woke up and been doing assignments etc since then. I was almost married to the dictionary today. I sincerely take my hats off to the people who compiled words together to form dictionaries…and on the other hand, I hate them too! They make me feel so dumb! My vocabulary’s SO limited!!!!! gosh!!
So yeah, was picking up some words here and there. It isn’t something that can be accomplished over a fortnight. Nearly impossible (coz as I was reminded, ‘impossible’ means scientifically not proven yet!!) But mastery of any language’s a highly-useful skill which’s in demand almost everywhere under the Sun. With a good grasp over the language, U can turn heads!! Well after all, pen IS mightier than a sword, isn’t it?
With good language skills, communication becomes much more vivid and clearer. We are better-equipped to express ourselves in a much more well-defined way and we know how to make use of appropriate linguistic devices to create the desired effects so that eventually, the decision’s made in our favour, esp when we are making speeches or writing for a specific targeted audience.
Lets say you are writing a complaint letter to certain authority, you must know how to make your letter concise and attention-catching so that it persuades the authority figures to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Its no point writing a lengthy letter with all the flowery language that you can probably think of, simply because no one in the world can afford to read such a long letter, except perhaps yourself. Thus, Language helps us in all aspects of life and helps us to patch up communication gaps.
So much and so said about language , I surely see a need to improve mine!!
Till next entry, see ya.
