Guides, Editorials and Welcome Messages to Research and Leadership Activities

I always encourage people to write and publish their experiences if they have put a lot of time and efforts in some activity. When putting every piece together in writing, it gives you the chance to review and formalize what you have been doing, and you may well find that there are areas here and there for you to improve. When your writing goes to other people for comments, you might get surprising but useful feedback. A possible formal publication of your experiences is a recognition of your efforts and also provides a greater opportunity for you to share your insights with the society.
