Day 6 Writing - English Practice
📅 Date: 2025-06-11 ✍️ Type: Free writing / Reflection
Today is Wednesday, June 11, 2025. Let’s write more.
I had a good topic in mind after I took my daughter to school this morning. It came to me on the way back home. But now, I’ve forgotten what it was. I remember telling myself to write it down quickly before it slipped away—but I ignored that advice, and now it's gone.
We really need to record our thoughts immediately. Our brains aren't good at holding onto ideas for long. It's a shame when a great thought just disappears into thin air. To keep the mind free and flowing naturally, we need to write things down quickly—even if they’re not perfect.
I’ve committed to a writing routine, and capturing my thoughts is a big part of that. Maybe this—how easily ideas can vanish—is actually a perfect topic to practice clear writing.
I once read a book about how to learn, which helped me understand more about how the brain works. That knowledge has really helped me improve how I learn. So, let’s keep reading and keep applying good strategies we learn from books.
One lesson that stuck with me is this: Most people don’t really learn from experience. But smart people—people who grow—keep reading all the time.
