Two types of word-users

By In Words

There are two types of word-users out there in the world.

Word-users that don’t understand words and…

  • Like me
  • Don’t like me

Word-users that do understand words and…

  • Like me
  • Don’t like me

I write not with words but about words since 2016 without thinking twice.
Since then I’ve gotten used to this situation of being welcomed and not welcomed at the same time.
That’s why I keep on writing about words — what words are, do, and have — no matter what type of word-user you are.

Fair?

The fair price of freedom to pay I guess.

“All truth passes through three stages, first it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third it is accepted as being self-evident” used to say Arthur Schopenhauer better than I ever could.

Focus on your vision

By In You

Focus on your vision

You should focus on your vision, not only but also in 2025.

I hear you: “What is your vision and how is it different from mine?”

Well, a vision could be anybody’s. But your vision is guaranteed personal. You can explain it to others, but nobody else can envision your vision for you.

What is a vision?

If you must know, and you do, a vision is not only your most ambitious dream, it is your most important and ambitious dream taken seriously.

Ask yourself: “What dream have I been avoiding?”

If the dream you’ve been avoiding is your biggest and most ambitious, that’s the one you want to turn into your vision.
Your biggest most ambitious dream is necessarily in writing for your vision will be as important to you as a compass is to a map or a GPS to a car.

Without your vision you will be lost to the end of your journey from where you are to where you will be.
You won’t be able to steer your boat or harness the wind to getsomewhere on purpose.

Forget the dreams not in writing for they’ll never grow larger than the brain cells in charge of your dreaming.

Anything worth having is worth doing what it takes

Embarking on your vision is a long game journey. Anything worth having takes years, sometimes even a decade.

“Caterpillar sheds its skin to find a butterfly within.” – Donovan Leitch

Avoid the trap of expecting quick results.

Don’t think, feel it instead

Don’t think your vision.

Feel it!

Feeling is experiencing and the only way to acquire knowledge is by experience.
No one else and no other word can feel your vision for you.

Your vision doesn’t tell you whether you will make it or not, it only tells you where you’re going.

Don’t begin with your best vision or you risk not beginning at all. Begin with the first draft then keep honing and refining as you’re on the way to getting it done.

Benefits of vision

  • Vision separates the many from the few.
  • Vision has you doing the right things before doing things right.
  • Your vision has you arrive to the end of your journey knowing you made a difference.
  • Your vision has you wake up excited in the morning

Word-users with a vision age slower, enjoy every step they take, run faster, jump higher, eat healthier, are as happy with friends as they are alone, climb more trees, skip when they could walk, kiss when they could talk, experience faster manifestations, and are popular with animals.

Without a vision

An airplane in flight is on course only a small percentage of the time. The rest of the time it follows orders from the air traffic control, adjusts to other planes, weather systems, or changing winds, to name a few. If each time the airplane gets off course, it simply changes its port of destination, it would land not like a plane but like a rolling stone with no direction home. That, my friend, is the description of an airplane not only without a vision but soon without fuel, too.

Lack of vision, not lack of time, is your worst enemy.

Takeaway

Begin without further ado. What’s missing you’ll discover along the way.

“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” – Rumi

Don’t think it.

Feel it!

My vision

In case you wonder, my vision to see the story of words told at school is strong and I don’t give up, knowing I have work to do before it is achieved, knowing I may no longer be around when it comes true.

What others are saying

For what others are saying about vision, here’s the link to an ebook of quotes worth reading twice.

The book is free for you to keep and be inspired by, compliments SchindlersWord.com

I look forward to getting to know you over a virtual cup of coffee during which we’ll together find out how I can help you with bespoke solutions for a better life.

The typewriter

By In You

I guess only a few readers will have guessed today’s post is about the…

Typewriter

The typewriter allowed for the writing and dissemination of more words faster than anything invented for that purpose in the previous 4.65 billion years.

Printing press

Invented 429 years before the invention of the typewriter, the printing press, invented 584 years ago, had been a fast distributor of words, but only 8% of the then-400 million world-wide population of word-users (that number is now 9 billion and counting) could write and read.

Typewriter, part 2

Invented 155 years ago, the typewriter made everyone with the ability to recognise letters on a keyboard a writer overnight.
It also spelled the end of the labor-intensive writing with quill pens made from bird-feathers, inkwells, wax tablets, and inks made from gall nuts, charcoal, plant extracts, and iron gall.
The typewriter wasn’t used only for the original purpose of words, which is storytelling, but also for the writing and subsequent production of reference works such as encyclopedias, thesauruses, and dictionaries.

Internet

The typewriter doesn’t even begin to compare to the internet — previously known as the world wide web — invented 34 years ago, that meanwhile not only gobbles up and spits out more words faster than anything invented for that purpose before, but also more words faster than any word-user can cope with.

Typewriter, part 3

On day 1, 155 years ago, only 1 typewriter was sold, the first.
Over the next 109 years, over 100 million were sold
46 years ago, when the first wordprocessor was invented, typewriter sales declined.
But now the typewriter is making a comeback

The proof is in the pudding

“The Typewriter” is an excellent short movie I highly recommend.
