From the begining of my career i started to keep a pen with me. i have faced a lot of problems keeping a pen in my pocket. some times the ink comes out from the pen and destry my shirt. but it is very necessary to keep a pen with you. as an example when i am busy with doing some thing at that time a messgae i have to write immediately so i need the pen very much. it also help me increase my dignity too. do you keep a pen with you ?

Hey Ivan, like you I always have a pen with me, and got bad stains on my shirt. Now that I wear glasses, the problem is solved, the pen fits nicely into my glasses case. You can guess what my cleaning cloth looks like, can't you?

You'll never exactly when a good idea comes up and writing it down is the best way to keep it. A pen always with you is necessary to keep that idea intact.

No i don't keep a pen with me .We just seldom use pens since we have computer. We type a lot and type words very familiarly but we just begin not to be used to using pens anymore . In real life keeping a pen is sometimes necessary when you should fill some written forms . Of course you don't have to write down tel numbers by using your pens and the mobile phones do it .

Pen - An expensive pen is worth buying.
Yes, I do. That is one of the item that is always in my beg. I will always bring a pen to facilitate me jotting down anything that is important when am outside. It can be quite messy if the ink ooze out from the pen. Choose pen that is of quality.

hi oh yes because you always need one almost anywhere yo go. in the bank for example the pens are missing or dont work and you have to dig out your own. besides now I am writing my memores I have to have a working pen with me at all times. I guess I have always made it a must to keep at least two working pens in my handbag. I dont know how many times a stranger has asked to borrow my pen. which I will lend provided the person returns it.Yes a pen is really a necessity/

Yes I do, with a note book too. Usually I will put it in my bag and sometimes when I go somewhere without my pen, I will feel awkward and uncomfortable, seem like something is missing. I like to jot down things and i think I learn it from my father. He always bring one and make sure there is a pen at the car whenever he going to. HAPPY mYLOTTING

Yes, I always have a pen with me, even if I am not working. I keep a couple on my end table, in my purse, in my car, beside the bed and I could go on and on. You just never know when you will need to write something down. It is something I learned from working in a government office for years, write it down before you forget it.

Like you i do have a pen with me, because i am fond of writing. Black and blue is what i have and i inserted it in my notebook, or small paper bag. I sometimes put it in front of computer. If i am in some place i have a small paper bag for it and a pen holder. When i am in some government institution or office and have to fill some form i always have a pen so that i do not have to buy when i am there.

Hi ivan, I only carry a pen in my pocket during my work time. And is really help when you want to write down something. You didn't know when you want to used it. But after work, I rarely carry a pen. I usually wearing a jeans and plant t-shirt (no pocket). So, I didn't know where to put it. Previously, I try to put it on my jeans pocket but it is really uncomfortable. So, I didn't bring it anymore. If I have something to write, I just write it on my handset at the "list to do" or "notes" feature. And it is effective though. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

I wish I did, it's really handy, but I usually lose it somewhere, since I'm not the organized type. Maybe you could try to use ballpoint pens (although I guess those are less fancy) so that they don't stain your shirt. Or maybe if you carry a bag with you then stick it into a pocket in your bag.

Carrying a pen with us is very useful to the most people. Many careers need to carry a pen with them to write something about their company datas or addresses. But nowadays, most people use handphone to memorize something. It is also useful to write something. But it is not easy as a pen. A pen can be written immediately while we are doing something. A pen has a hazard of pouring of ink. But A phone doesn't. But a pen is more easy to write than a phone. I carry a pen with me putting it in my pocket wherever i go bcoz it is easy to use :)

Yes I do carry a pen with me. It is very important specially if I know that I need t sign up or fill up something. Like in office, in banks, or even in seminars, you need a pen. It's so handy to carry pen. When I was working, i always clip my very small pen in my ID lace. I also have my organizer with me and there is a place for a pen inside , so it was just handy, no need to place it in my blouse or keep inside my pocket.

I keep journals and write alot. I have notebooks with me at most times, and one or two pens as well. I also have a pen clipped to my shirt almost constantly now because I use one a lot at work.

I should carry a pen with me and sometimes remember to zip one up in one of the pockets of my handbag this way if it leaks it wont leak onto the other items. Although I do tend to use pens that dont drip. Just last night was filming a short film with acting class and we needed pens to work on our character backstories.. and none of us had one on us... Pens are also good for signing bussiness deals, writing down email addresses ect..

i always carry a pen with me but its inside my bag.. i exactly dont know why i carry a pen.. maybe bcoz it reminds me of being a student, i admit its weird but i guess im into it already. and that in a student a pen is very important.. even though im no longer a student it doesnt mean that i should stop learning.. learning things that happen around the corner that makes e aware of what going on with our life.. so i guess a pen in my bag just symbolize me of a student always. no matter where i am and what i do..

Well i move about with pen from the age of 11 yrs. i really love going about with pen. Most times when i lost my pen in taxi or in the banking complex. Actually, it takes much organization to keep a pen. It increases your reputation

I sometime carry a pen with me and it comes in handy. Sometimes its more trouble than its worth with all the ink spills... but i find myself in need of one when i dont have one.
