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.
