Here is the Wise Bites memo for you to consider for the week.

Book Segment

This week I decided to highlight the book, The Right to Write by Julia Cameron. The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life by Julia Cameron encourages readers to embrace writing as a natural, accessible form of expression for everyone, not just professional writers. Cameron, known for her influential book The Artist’s Way, dismantles common misconceptions about writing and offers exercises to help people connect with their inner voice. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, she reveals that writing can be therapeutic, empowering, and joyful. The book inspires readers to approach writing as a tool for self-discovery, creativity, and personal growth, highlighting that everyone has the right to write.

If you are looking to encorporate more writing in your personal or professional life, or aiming for ways to get more out of life through passion and creativity, you should grab a copy of The Right to Write by Julia Cameron.

Quotes

Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
-Booker T. Washington
Do something every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.
-Mark Twain

Internet Find

I don’t know what it is, but I really enjoy an excellent top-ten list. Sometimes, you can find some great gems in a list that has condensed a body of work down to the most essential. You get that when you watch Evan Carmichael’s YouTube video, Malcolm Gladwell’s Top 10 Rules for Success Volume 2. Gladwell shares ten thought-provoking rules for success with indelible wit and sometimes comedic timing from his work over the years in this compilation video.

It is definitely worth viewing the 16-minute video to gain more context and insight from Gladwell, but here is a summary of his Top Ten.
