A vocabulary of WORDS is increased by reading carefully and looking up words that aren’t understood, and then remembering and using those words. Vocabulary is thus increased one word at a time, and over time the effort pays off. A vocabulary of IDEAS is increased by reading, learning, and interacting with intelligent, articulate people, which leads to more reading, learning, and interaction, increasingly opening access to a universe of ideas. Whether the desire is to increase word vocabulary or idea vocabulary, each is achieved one word at a time, one concept at a time, one moment at at time. Continued, focused effort is rewarded with a bounty of concepts that the individual “owns” in the experience of a lifetime. All that is required is an open mind. Honest evaluation weeds out the good from the bad. http://www.writersmusespeaks.com
