I live with the firm conviction that journalism is a noble profession.
From the various media the reporters present their works, the flames of my
admiration towards them are still fanned as they have always inspired me
holistically.
The news is undoubtedly
something that trends as the whole globe spins. There is always something new
happening, and journalists won’t stop chasing it. I would say that it is like a
kaleidoscope that reflects our society to the people; yet it’s like a flawless
stream of knowledge that flows through the streets into our minds.
Remember the mystery of MH370?
Mean but true, I ponder if the reporters should be blamed for their failure in
not being able to convey their worries and sorrow to me, as their words seemed
only stern and dull. Only if I had been offered the golden opportunity to
explore more about what had really happened, I would have had the genuine
chemistry of grief passed down to my readers. A professional writer who is
adroit with a complete arsenal of English writing techniques composes to touch
his readers’ hearts. He has to make them feel the live atmosphere with his own
words; he needs to express the feelings like he himself had just witnessed the
accident and was shocked in the blues.
The American singer-songwriter,
Taylor Swift, once told the media she thought that it’s part of a song-writer’s
job to feel things. Indeed. And I think that this is an essential point for a
journalist too, because by blending some feelings into the words, the reports
could be presented up to a higher level of ratings, instead of just mainstreamly
imitating the ubiquity. Some faithful readers might even have the exact ideas
in mind and agree on what he portrays. I have confidence in writing the actual
facts with parts of my logical ideas as I had been practising this kind of
articles since a year ago.
I think that life is a
mysterious wonder in itself as there is always something to be written about.
Immense mirth strikes when I intend to elaborate my essays; it is undeniably
challenging to swirl in various adjectives or gripping styles of penning. As a
journalist, I would be well placed to meet both exemplary national and
international idols whom I fond of. Getting to rub shoulders with more people
from all fields of profession is an utterly remarkable thing. A word or quote
from them is even useful enough to leave inestimable impacts on one. How
wouldn’t I love to sacrifice my time for such siestas on compiling instead?
The fact is solid that being a
journalist leads my list of preferred careers. This is undeniably the best
choice of occupation for it is something that helps enhancing and developing
myself to be out of the ordinary, and much better than the rest of the world.
You know, the confidence I would gain by trying to make new friends, to speak
up and even to try out things that I have never experienced before. Life can
hardly be doubted as a party and how exciting the party is will only depend on
how creative we are to throw it.
I dreamed a dream since I was
young to conquer the vast world and let people know my name like how they
gloriously recognise Marina Mahathir. I hope my journey in blogging would
further facilitate my desire of being a journalist, by building a path of early
triumph for the marvellous future I crave for. Let it be an ultimate platform
for me to express my wherewithal among the competing wordsmiths in the
labyrinth of News’ World. Perhaps when the time comes I will no longer rate my
dream as spectacular, but as legend--wait--for--it--DARY!
Life won’t be lacklustre again
if we learn to strive success with the best of our souls. With words that can
be twisted around and all those puns intending prowess, English writing is the
fun we all cannot miss. But of course, we won’t have to be a novelist to
compose. We are not writing fiction so we can’t have sparkling Edward or the
Girl On Fire; we are doing the news.
