How to Use Reading and Writing to Find Your Path - Jordan Peterson

So, I stumbled upon this mind-blowing lecture by the one and only Jordan Peterson on YouTube. You know, the dude who dives into the very essence of why we all need to ride the reading and writing wave to solve our problems and tackle the world's challenges head-on. He does it, and so can you. But wait, there's more – this isn't just about problem-solving. It's about becoming a walking encyclopedia, a genius in the making, and sharpening those critical thinking skills while you're at it.

Let’s jump right in.

Picture this:

You, using reading and writing to carve out your spot in the vast expanse of the world. Discovering the meaning behind your existence, fixing your world's glitches, and being the voice for issues that genuinely mess people up.

It’s your golden ticket to understanding life and shaking the very foundations of worldviews. Reading? It feeds your brain. Writing? It’s like taking that brain buffet and putting it into words, fine-tuning your approach to solving problems. You could unlock the mysteries of your suffering, decode why the world is in agony, and then position yourself as the hero against the villain. Knowledge becomes your superpower for good.

Now, let's talk about writing – it's basically thinking on steroids. First off, you need a problem, a juicy one that has you hooked. Why? Because if you ain’t addressing a problem, why should anyone bother reading your spiel? Exactly. But it doesn’t stop there. You need something to say about that problem, and that's where the reading part kicks in. Dive deep, formulate your argument, and let the words flow.

Pick a problem, read like your life depends on it, and start jotting down your thoughts. Choose your words with the finesse of a ninja – that’s how researchers do it, that’s why students churn out essays. Write about things that make your heart race.

Read and write every darn day, for hours. Don’t be shy with those questions. This will turn you into a verbal ninja, a problem-slaying extraordinaire. As our man Peterson says, "Teach them to write, and you teach them critical thinking."

And now, let me spill the tea on how I use reading and writing to unravel the mystery and clarify chaos in my world.

I reckon we’re all mirrors reflecting the chaos and beauty of the world. The good, the bad – it all comes from within. So, I jot down my musings every day. Who am I? What am I about? What tickles my fancy, and how do I dance with the world?

The more I pen down my fears, desires, past escapades, relationships, and everything in between, the more I unravel the enigma of why I do the things I do and what has molded this wild spirit of mine. It’s my journey of self-discovery, and hey, maybe it can light a path for others cruising through the chaos.

From me to you.

Have a grandiose day.
