Try to be mindful of your words in written communications. Here are some tricks to leaving a good impression with written words online.

Avoid "do" and "don't"

When writing imperative sentences, try not to start your sentences with "don't." Try the word "avoid" instead.

• ⚠️ "Don't use big words."
  This imperative command can make the reader feel like they have no choice on the matter. It implies that the decision lies solely on you, which implies that you don't want to listen to their feedback.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:
