Great article. My personal takes:

will motivate you to master the subject on hand and to refine your thoughts.

Right. Whenever I want to share something I'm not 100% sure, I first do a search and try to understand it a bit more.

I want my posts to be clear, concise, and useful. Coherence and correctness are key and by practicing blogging, I improve those skills for future blogs. In the end, those skills help me at work, too. Win-win :)

Give back to the community

I started blogging because I wanted to improve my writing and orthography and also because of this.

It's like in the torrents world. It's nice just being a leecher but at one point you begin to understand why is important to also be a seeder.

In torrents world, more seeders mean the file can be found in several locations and could even be downloaded faster.

Blogging is the way I can payback and thank all those people that started blogging way before me and help me understand topics, learn something, and achieve my goals.

All the reasons you describe here, Mohamed, are very true. Blogging is a positive activity we should all try at least once.
