Suddenly, my doubts became fuel for discovery.

When you write about a subject, you’re forced to piece the information you learned together in a linear format, requiring you to think clearly. What’s more, writing requires you to revisit the information, which strengthens your neural networks, causing you to remember the information better.

Whorf argued that our habitual use of language shapes how we perceive and interpret reality. The hypothesis exists in two forms: a weak version (linguistic relativity) and a strong version (linguistic determinism).

This means that everything that occurs in our minds, every thought, every insight, takes place in words and sentences and is thus constrained by the language we use
