” The truth is you’ll never get anywhere in life unless you can write. It’s more important today than ever before, courtesy of personal computers, the internet, social media and email.” – Steve Tobak.

Steve is one writer whom I have started to admire, even though I don’t agree with his political views always. In his latest blog, he shares 9 things that can help one become a great writer. Two points which I think are fundamental, but are very critical are

a. Read … a lot

b. Be genuine, direct, clear and concise

The 9 steps can be found here. As Steve says, ” ..make no mistake: no matter what you do for a living these days, if you want your career to flourish, you need to learn how to write. Period.“
