What about my typing

I am back with my typing speed. I know many of you may not care about typing. But believe me they are the most necessary skills for any educated literate person. Do not forget that both educated and literate people are different in the way they approach reading material or writing things down. Literate is the most basic form. It is a tool by which education has to be acquired. I love my language. It is free. No one has copyright. It can be learnt any where. They call it English. I am putting whatever effort I can in improving this wonderful language. People might be tired hearing that I am again talking about this language. Some might be even bored. But you don't knwo what this language can do once you have a command over it. Any language has got power. The power to speak up in front of a crowd or to write letters for bureaucrats and similar other things can only be done if you have good language skills. This is not only true for the past generation but is proving to be an invaluable tool for the coming generation. China is a big example as an English embracing nation. They are trying to beat America in their own game. Chinese don' t like Americans. They are very proud of their nation. They don't feel that America deserves the credit for what all things happens in the world. Neither do they feel that America has the holiest of values compared to other countries. The nation was very selfish when it came to World War II/. They supplied armaments to unknown small nations so that they can fill their pockets. Their indefatiguable notion about themselves was soon broken by the Vietnamese in their own war. Every body knows about it. Being defeated by a small nation is highly embrassing. Coming back to typing.

I am starting to write a book on typing. They are so precious I cannot tell you. They are the ones which I would publish in my late 50s. May be after I write enough. It could be by the time that all typing work will be replaced by something else. There is already a voice typing. But is very disturbing. One cannot talk to type. Talking makes the whole room atmosphere hotch potch and no one can concentrate on his work. I adore typing and I am very proud of typing skills. I will however share with you one tip for typing well. Do not see the screen while typing neither do you see the keyboard.

Happy typing.

Typing again

This time hurrah I did one more time. Now my typing speed has shown its presence beyond the 100 mark. I am really happy about it. I know if I don't practice it enough it will show its back, but I have to find more and more opportunities where I can put typing to use. It could be anything from writing a form, a letter, email etc. previously mentioned.

CONGRATULATIONS, I NEED A PAT ON MY BACK FOR MY ACHIEVEMENT.

Hip, Hip, Hurrah!

typpp

I have been typing for quite a long time by now. I hvae increased my speed tremendously but some how for know not what reason I am stuck between 80 and 90. It doesn't seem to get ahead of it. I did make a 100 score a few days back. Even I have made 92, 96, 98 on few other occasion s. I am really proud of it. But I have found that you need to change your style to get ahead of this 90 mark.

I have tried things like not seeing the typing material, slow start, the errors never seem to go away. What should I do is still a question. Websites don't offer many things about this. I have tried to search them but unable to find one more trick in my pocket. Typing well is a wonderful experience. I insist everyone should learn typing. It helps in emails, letter writing, presentations, project assignment. etc. These activities take most of our time. The stream of conscious with which we are able to type gives a lot more natural feel role to it. It is as if we are speaking or making a public speech to an audience.

Nice having you hear me.

Adieu!

Just Type

Typing is a necessary skill, an untold skill required for anyone working in an office with a computer. Many office goers look at it as a below my level skill to be acquired. Trust me, that is not the case. It is just not the amount of time you save but it also makes thoughts flow continuously without any barrier. My typing was 20 wpm when I started three to four years back. Now it has climbed upto 80wpm. I am pretty happy with the skill that I have acquired. The down part of it is that i have spent too much time learning typing and you don't have to take that much time of yours.

People once good at typing try to increase their speed by forcing them to type more. More is not the name of the game. It is accuracy with speed. Accuracy you can get only when you do the right thing, if however, you are not doing right then it may take more time. I should have expected to reach my typing speed close to hundred by now. But the wrong thing that I did and I don't want you to do. Always see the text you are typing once you gain adequate
accuracy. Never look at the computer nor look at the keyboard. There are many words that repeat in English. Practice typing those words and then you will find a huge difference in your typing speed and accuracy. Moreover, never indulge in typing for hours together. As any part of our body our wrists and fingers too need some rest. Once in pain and you continue doing it, it will mislead you to more mistakes.

The most easy typing is letters. Then comes CAPITAL WORDS. You need separate practice for numerals and then separate for symbols like question mark, exclamation mark, percentages etc. The best way to practice is take a simple exercise and do it without mistake and follow the above procedure. You will always remember me if you do it that way. This is the thing which nobody will tell you and they will only cloud you with more information. The internet gives you websites and websites on typing test and tracking your speed. It is good to take a break during the course of your day and try a hand at one or two. There are also games, play them whenever you are free.

Typing is a skill mentioned not to be taken lightly. Try it and you will enjoy doing it for the rest of your life.
