Connection between the law of increasing returns and proper typing?

[Parallel]

Hi everyone
I'm glad that I attended typing classes at the age of 12. It was during my first year of college and almost everyone joined in and so I didn't want to stay away. Maybe I would have forgotten all about my typing if there hadn't been our Boy-Scouts-magazine! It was just a bunch of papers, no gloss of course but self-written, self-typed and pressed, stapled and handed-out, where we would write reviews of our camps, invite to the next and so on.
There was one difficulty: it was quite tricky to correct type-errors on the stencils. So we had to try our best and avoid mistakes. That was how I really learnt typing.
But who of us then knew how crucial it would become later? Nowadays everyone sends and receives sheer heaps of posts and has to reply to them whithin minutes...
But unfortunately, I have to confess, the numbers of my typing-errors have increased since the time of our magazine. You can guess why - because it has become so easy to go back and correct miss-spellings. And I'm bedeviled, the less time I take to write a message down the more errors appear on the screen!
So there is no way out of it, I have to improve my typing skills again!

Hi Alexandra
Sorry, but I have to blame myself for two reasons:
1. I mixed up your first name and your family name, stupid me, of course I know that it's Alexandra.
2. Even more embarrassing, I didn't look closely enough on your first message. Otherwise I would have found out how one can listen to a registered voice message on the forum!
And I know now that it wasn't too loud nor too low and on top of that I had no problems to understand your message. You speak in a very clear voice and with a good accent, congratulations!
Yesterday I wrote that I haven't got many opportunities to speak to native English speakers. And what happened today? I took my seat in the evening train and found myself right opposite to a Canadian citizien! I can't believe it! That's the first time after half a year at least- no cheat! And it went quite well except that I almost gave him a wrong information about how to get to the airport because I mixed up two trains. Mixing up things seems to be a speciality of mine!
So I wish you a good evening and I'm looking forward to register a voice message for you too. Merry christmas! Urs

Hi Alexandra
As I wrote you I still had to buy a headset, and here it is! This is my first attempt to record a voice message. The only problem: my message is not very loud although I try to keep speaking as near as possible to the microphone. Can you understand it nevertheless?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

HELLO EVERYBODY:

I agree with this law, it's too important to know type correctly, I am happy because I am a professional typer, in Spanish we say "MECANOGRAFA" I really don't know how to say it in English. Obviously I make mistakes when I'm typing but it's normal, "I'm a human being" I can write 80 to 90 words per minute and it helps me a lot in the university. So what Toersten said is absolutely true.

Hi everybody ,

Yeah , I think there`s a link between 'law of increasing returns' and everything in our life, how?

this a very important sentence says :whatever you do to or for another individual comes back to you multiplied several times. this mean when We do one hour for example We can gain 2 hours in front of this hour.

thank You very much.

Hi Alan

Can I take it that 'the law of increased returns' could also mean 'you harvest what you sow' and 'what goes round comes round'?

I was a secretary before I started teaching English and I used to type 52 wpm. Now you must understand that a computer keyboard is slightly different from a normal typewriter in a sense that there are more keys including function keys. My fingers placement on the computer keyboards need to be adjusted.

Hi everyone, i am thaw.
I think the law of increased returns like that, this title is depend on the skill of writing. According to an example that desribed by Thorsten, if you type or use your keyboard for a long time, you will get the more typing efforts, that mean you can type the keyboard faster and less errors.
I said the title 'the law of increasing returns' is relative with your writing skill, So if you type more words they are coming from your thinking, your experience or your job and lifestyle, just write these on this forum or your own paper, text file in computer, absolutely, you will got your own best writings in English as a lot of success returns,.
Thanks,.
How do you think about this title,.

According to me, "law of increasing returns" it's always right, the more efforts you have, the bigger successes you receive.
This law is true with my situation, 1 year ago I was one of the worst students in my English class, my listening skill was always zero. Fortunately, my English teacher found out my weaknesses and gave me a lots of useful advice. Everyday I spent about 20 minutes for listening, I usually listened the news at VOA or ELLLO. The first time, the second time and.... I thought that I would give up soon because I couldn't understand anything, but I was still patient, I tried more, more and more... up to now.
Can you guess how I am now ? Unbelievable what I get. My listening skill is improved so fast and I'm so satisfied. Now I'm confident enough to try myself with TOEIC test and I hope to get a high result. Good luck to me! (^^)
And how about you? Can you share with me your own experience in " law of increasing returns " ?

[Klthaw]

Nice to hear about your success,
I wish you will get high marks on your exam.
According to your opinion and me, In general, Law of Increasing Returns means all of the job that we did, will return Big Success in our future,.
Try on, and good luck Xuanthao
As for me, I am learning Japanese and English. I'm also improving myself like your way, but not yet reach to satisfy level :(

[Xuanthao]

You will be successful if you are patient. Thanks for your share !
