Karl Albrecht
Knowing that the reader has granted me the privilege of entering his or her private, interior world, and bringing ideas that might have interest, relevance, and value.
Without readers, there can be no writers.
In those cherished occasions where someone lets me know - whether in person, by feedback on an online forum, or with a direct personal message - that the ideas I've offered have in some way added value to their lives, I find great satisfaction.
Another source of joy and inspiration to me, as an intellectually inclined person, is that trading in ideas puts me in contact with bright people who value ideas as much as I do, who share interesting thoughts, and who are kind enough to show appreciation for mine.
