Goodreads asked Vinod Pottayil:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Vinod Pottayil The best thing, undoubtedly, is the knowledge that I can make a small difference to someone, somewhere by sharing my thoughts and experiences. I may not know this person, would probably never meet this person - but in some way, I could be responsible for something positive happening in that person's life.

That's a great feeling.

Since I write self-help books on investing, I hope to help people avoid the mistakes that I made or that I see others making, and to put the money they earn to good use. When someone says they liked my book, or that they found the book useful, I know I did a good job. That's quite priceless.
