Today, we would like to present an excerpt from Volume 8 of Aaron Writes. In this issue we discuss the active voice. Here is the excerpt:
This month we will discuss writing versus translation. These are two very different skill sets. Confusing them will create problems. Some writers write in their native language and then translate their writing into English. One of the biggest problems this creates for Japanese writing translated into English is overuse of the passive voice.
If you click the above link, you will find the complete issue of Volume 8 of Aaron Writes. In it, we explain that that using the active voice creates good strong writing. The passive voice does not.
To be a better writer, use the active voice. We hope you will look at this issue of Aaron Writes and other issues. You can reach a list of all of our back issues via the link above. Reading them will help to make you a better writer.

This quote is from Paul Fix on getting lost in thought:
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
I looked up Paul Fix at Wikipedia and found that he was an American film and television character actor who was best known for his work in westerns. He was in over a hundred movies and many television shows from 1925 to 1981.
The quote does not seem to match his career. This could be his quote, or it could be from another Paul Fix. Let us know if you know the answer.

This quote is from Bertrand Russell on patriotism:
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher and anti-war activist. There is more truth in his quote than most of us would like to acknowledge.

This quote is from Carl Jung on understanding ourselves:
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
You may have taken the the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the career test now offered at many high school and college career centers. The MBTI is based entirely on Jung's theories.
