Why Your Words Matter More Than You Think
Every email you send, every report you draft, every text message you compose-these aren't just transmissions of information. They're acts of thinking made visible. The cruel truth about writing is that most of us learned it backward. We were taught that writing packages ideas we already have, like wrapping a gift. But that's not how it works at all. Writing is the unwrapping, the discovery, the moment when you realize what you actually think. This is why sitting down to write that "simple" memo suddenly reveals you don't quite understand the issue yourself. The blank page isn't mocking you-it's teaching you. And this lesson matters far more than getting an A on a paper or impressing your boss. Clear writing is clear thinking, and clear thinking changes everything.
