Inspiration though Dedication

            One may dream, but it take good communication to succeed in computer programming field. Good grammar is the deciding factor between getting a good job or not. Programmers use wide range of grammar skills to accomplish their goals. World is for dreamers, so dream big and never look back.

            Susan Adams a writer for Forbes Magazine has write an article about "Why Grammar Counts at Work". Online communication between peers or superiors has a direct correlation to your professional relationship with others. Using poor choice of words and sentence fragments may impact your professional relationship with others. Good grammar provides people with comfort that you have listened, analyzed, and responded to their concern, in the best possible way. Kyle Wiens, a CEO of IFIXIT an electronic repair guide company, has written an article "I won't Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. Here's Why." His massage was very clear "zero tolerance approach to grammar." One of his employment process is to test every potential employees for their grammar. Mr. Wiens is very particular in employing only grammar worthy personal, by believes in exceptions (dyslexia, English language learners, etc.).

            Computer programmers are the most important career in the digital world. From a simple file manager, to complex video game instructions, programmers build set of instructions in order to simplify computer use for everyone. All of the programs need language compilers, where human language can be translate into computer instrucations. Some of the common languages are; C++, C#, and Java. Programmers Learn to program from school where they can obtain computer science degree in field of programming. In order to keep up with industry changes, I must to take additional classes and be certified. Languages are very code sensitive. Contraction is very important while looking for mistake in the code, and communicating with team mate may speed up the process. One of the factors in good grammar skills is the ability to split the task in to manageable tasks. IN the more interconnected world, working with people in the same office is getting less frequent, and so good grammar communication with coworkers is valued greatly.

            Rome was not build in one day, so is the case with building good grammar. I have always been fascinated by great people, from Alexander the Great, to Napoleon. Both men started from humble beginnings, but they had a clear vision and an ability to communicate it efficiently. Napoleon's  ability for efficiently communicating during battle granted him multiple victorie. Without good communication both Napoleon and Alexander would not be able to achieve their goals. Life is not about the travel but about the destination, so why should grammar be any different?

            I have great respect for how significant grammar is. From simple communication with friends to communicating with costumers at work, Mrs. Adams was right: good conversation is where two or more people can understand each other, and good grammar is the best way to accomplish it. Modern tools will only allow me to communicate with people for long distance, but grammar is the key. People who take advantage of their situation and made the best never die, but live within us to inspire me to use good grammar.
