An effective
writing skill can be a great source of prestige in the society for anyone who
possesses it. As stated earlier, few people possess the writing skill to a
commendable extent. And those who do usually
enjoy considerable credibility in the society because most people believe the
written word (and a writer) more than they do the spoken words (and a public
speaker).
Another way to
use written communication to enhance your social integration is by cultivating
the habit of writing letters or short notes to compliment or encourage people;
your family members, friends, colleagues, or even people who do not know you
but whom you admire and desire to be friendly with. In the words of Benson
(undated:183), ‘we live by encouragement, and die without it – slowly, sadly and angrily’. Therefore, the
man who looks beyond himself to sincerely appreciate others in long or short
writings will not just be adding a memorable value to them, but will also earn
himself an impressive collection of allies. And the more people you have around
you, the easier you are able to perform tasks and achieve your aims in
life.
