Dear brothers and sisters,

Many people love writing, but they are uncomfortable when writing and sending to ĐCN. Many reasons. Perhaps a great reason is they fear what other people think about them.

I want to open my heart, but I’m worry. I don’t know what I worry about, but I’m still worry. So what should I do?

Write like no one is reading.

Mark Twain (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He said:

“Work like you don’t need money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
Sing like no one is listening,
Dance like no one is watching,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”

What does that mean?

Secret of success.

Singing like no one is listening, you are a great singer.
Dancing like no one is watching, you are a great dancer.

So write like no one is reading.

Writing like no one is reading, you are a great writer.

How to do it? How to write like no one is reading?

Non-attachment.

Not attaching to readers.

Listening to readers, listening to their praise and censure does not mean attaching to readers.

We attach to readers when we cling to their praise and become greedy about their praise – thinking about their praise constantly, trying to get more praise, worrying all day about making more praise…

We attach to readers when we cling to their censure and become hatred about their censure – thinking about their censure constantly, trying to get less censure, worrying all day about making less censure…

We need listening to readers’ praise and censure but not attaching to their praise and censure.

Non-attachment. Not attaching to readers, we’ll write like no one is reading.

Write like no one is reading.

Have a nice day.
