This blog is primarily for media aspirants as well as young journalists. My aim is to provide links to articles that will enhance their understanding of the media and help them to improve their writing skills, broaden their horizons, and expand their worldview. My hope is that The Reading Room will also help them to become good media professionals.

WHY IS HARD WORK PITIABLE?
RUMER GODDEN
I have never understood why 'hard work' is supposed to be pitiable. True, some work is soul destroying when it is done against the grain, but when it is part of 'making' how can you grudge it?
You get tired, of course, but the struggle, the challenge, the feeling
of being extended as you never thought you could be is fulfilling and
deeply, deeply satisfying.
~ RUMER GODDEN, English author of more than 60 fiction and non-fiction books
