MANDELA’S WAY ~ Lesson No. 6

HAVE A CORE PRINCIPLE – EVERYTHING ELSE IS TACTICS

This is the sixth post in the series of 15 lessons taken from the book MANDELA'S WAY written by Richard Stengel .

EXTRACT : "Nelson Mandela is a man of principle – exactly one : Equal rights for all , regardless of race , class or gender . Pretty much everything else is a tactic . "

And I think that sums it up . It's self-explanatory . Within the realm of writing , do you think that there are core writing principles that cannot be compromised ? For example , some writers believe that you must write ONLY what you know ; others feel that you must "think out of the box" … Do you agree ? What is your core writing principle ?

    I think that you must write about whatever your heart wants you to. Out of the box or in area where you know everything, there is audience for every kind of writing … Good morning from Athens 🙂

    Wow…I guess mine would be:
    Anything and everything can work–if given the right context.
    What it means to me:
    Keep plugging, keep at it, you will get it (don't know when), you will make it work,
