I have been privileged to write many articles for Industry Press and a number of them have found favour in the last six months.
I try to motivate thinking and avoid bias.
I set out choices to make the reader bring to the front of their mind how they stand on Issues.
An “absolute” opinion is not really the aim because we all need to be flexible for when new Information turns up that may require us to adjust our thinking.
It strikes me that when two people agree on everything, something will be lost.
Things always look better in print and even I have allowed myself occasionally to accept some things were well written and argued.
I don’t suggest for a moment my style of writing is anything out of the ordinary but having received feedback I find it pleasing that on some level it has produced a positive view.
Comments I have particularly liked are:
“Your clarity of thinking is carried in the article”
“You mix seriousness with humour to allow even the most biased reader to enjoy the points without ever feeling affronted”
“Your articles grab attention because they are relevant, well argued and highly regarded”
“Derek Carpenters article on EU Regulation is a fascinating read”
I guess on another level there must be some who see the headline and then the authors name who inwardly say “Oh no”.
Do you really think they turn past the pages though?
Not on your life.
I accept that as a compliment and my satisfaction comes from knowing that I could argue all my points with conviction and reliable facts to the most biased reader.
There’s no better feeling than knowing the ground you stand on is real!
It often leads to silence on the part of those who profess a better understanding.
