Due to my age-old habit
of conversing with people from all age groups, I keep coming across many interesting
subjects to think, write and learn about. One such incidence happened recently
and it was literally a shocking encounter for me, and hence thought of penning
down about it.
I was conversing with one
of the Gen-Z teens and the basic point of discussion was “only consider good
points from every personality…”. While narrating an example, I emphasized on
one awesome achievement of an individual as having command over English
language, in addition to many other “good” personality points to notice in him.
Immediately that Gen-Z teen reacted, “so what if he is good at English? Why it’s
a good point? How it will be help him or his family? Why should I consider it
as good point, big deal, he went to English medium school, so he will have
command over it, nothing great… blah blah blah”.
I was immediately taken a
back. According to my thinking,
- Having command over any language for that
matter is massive blessings, its not everybody’s cup of tea.
- Command over language is reflected in the
personality of an individual as it gives a unique different confidence altogether.
- Also its extremely useful at work too, at
every occasion, say presentations, documentation, communicating confidently
with clients etc. to name a few.
- It similarly opens many doors for additional
employment if required, translation, blogging, converters and what not.
- Almost every organization requires now a day’s
individuals to write papers, articles, blogs and what not. Hence command over language
will again be useful.
- It’s a great stress buster for self and
others as an individual having command can twist and turn the words, give unique
meanings to same common words and what not.
- Person is relaxed as he / she can
concentrate on professional stuff instead of worrying at the language front.
- People like to be around such personality
who are good at twists and turns of words / phrases etc. during any gatherings
= popularity.
- Post retirement or during young age too he
/ she may take up assignments related to language as a great change.
- Linguists are artists, wonderful different personalities indeed.
- For such people solving and creating various
forms of puzzles is an enjoyable activity, both in soft (online games) and hard
form (newspapers / magazines etc).
- Its an additional qualification in many
organizations to climb the ladder effectually and quickly.
- Command over language = extremely good
memory power, and hence such people use words uniquely and frequently and in
turn it helps building up on memory power better.
And the list goes on and
on and on….
When I can list down so
many benefits of having great command over a language why this new Gen-Z is not
able to?
And it’s the most beautiful point to notice from any personality around you
Everyone should try to
cautiously work on their vocab and increasing strength of their language(s), no harm and lots
of paybacks for sure, for lifelong.
