Inspired By Reading
Reading has always been one of my favourite hobbies as I feel it allows me to enter a new exciting world of the Author's composition, just as in a music composition.
Whilst travelling I always take either a
physical book,
Kindle,
Phone,
Laptop
Desktop, or:
iPad, meaning, I am able to continue where I left off.
I find being constantly inspired by reading or listening to Audio Books helps me:
- Visualise.
- Concentrate.
- Find Community.
- Question everything.
- View things differently.
- Foster deeper connections.
- Raise my standards.
- Reduce Stress.
- Improve my sense of purpose.
- Create Routine.
- Focus.
- Learn, Learn, Learn.
I also find reading and listening help improve my:
- Language skills.

- Imagination.
- Sentence construction.
- Public Speaking Skills.
- Comprehension.
- Structure.
- Emotions.
- Empathy.

In this vein, I have compiled a Liszt of the:

I hope they inspire you as much as they have me.
Inspired By Short-Form Writing
What Is Short Form Writing?
For me, Baldi, A.K.A Amonn AL-Mahrouq, Short-Form Writing is:
- Clean.
- Quick.
- Easy.
- An Art.
- A Craft.
- An inspiring description.
I have honed through my years of:
- Piano Playing.
- Public Speaking.
- Figure Skating.
- Authorship.
- Teaching.
- Code Writing.
Essentially: A way to distil large amounts of data comprehensively, providing me with a simple explanation and a significant edge. Much like:
The precision of a clean edge on the ice.
The clarity of finding and bringing out a
A photo or video capturing what one thousand words cannot.
A more efficient line of code.
Why Short-Form?
In a nutshell:
Reading is not a chore, it's the spark of Creativity and Inspiration.
In a world that never stops turning, Short-Form Writing allows me more time for other activities, however like a perfectly executed jump on the ice, it requires precision and focus; however, I feel it is worth the effort as your reader will appreciate it.
Advantages of Short-Form
- Efficiency: Bite sized chunks. A smart way to absorb information quickly.
- Growth: Allows your skills to grow faster through rapid learning.
- Focus: Holds attention in our fast-paced world, empowering you to move forwards.
- Clarity: Life is short; I love taking in information that improves my focus, knowledge and delivers a rhythm that fits modern life.
- Reach: Drives more traffic to your Website and captures a broader audience.
- Sustainability: Prevents Creator burnout and keeps Brand awareness high.
- Confidence: It is low-pressure and builds momentum for you, the Creator.
- Empowerment: Ignites your discovery and builds on your current knowledge.
Disadvantages of Short-Form
- It can promote shorter attention spans.
- It may be forgotten quickly if not impactful.
- It is not always suited for technical, deep, or complex storytelling.
- Over-consumption of Short-Form Writing can lead to mental tiredness or eye strain.
- It can lack depth, leading to oversimplification.
