It is important to get the opinion of others concerning the quality of any paper. This will help one to identify the areas that need to be highlighted more next time. Most writers don’t ask questions about their work because they assume it is satisfactory. Some are discouraged due to lack of proper approach in dropping the big question.
It is therefore important to seek counsel from others because knowledge is passed from one person to another just like the famous saying that states that “an iron sharpens another iron”. Mistakes should be used to learn more on how to prevent the recurrence of that same mistake in order to prosper. In real life, errors are almost mandatory, hence one should refer to mistakes that took place in the past and analyze what caused that mistake and how it can be avoided. In fact one should rely on corrective statements or rather feedback made by others to correct their mistakes and thus achieve their goals.
A writer should also reflect the opinion of his consultants in the next papers. Opinion should be sought from different people because different people have different tastes hence the views of every person should be analyzed by the writer to establish if they are true. It is advisable to consult people who are most convenient in order to save time spent making phone calls and commuting which in return reduces expenditure. The people whose opinion is sought must not necessarily be people with the appropriate knowledge in the subject of the writing. This means opinion can be derived from close friends and relatives. Their views should not be undermined because they can help one to identify both simple and complex mistakes in the paper. Opinion should be sought at the commencement of the paper because unless one understands what is expected of him /her, the quality of writing may deviate from the subject. Instructors and teachers can be consulted because they can easily tell what they expect from the writer. Failure to seek counsel from others may lead to writing in assumption. This is due to the fact that the writer does not know how to express his arguments in a paper.
