So, it's January 12 and I haven't really gotten up to the goals I set to myself for the new year. I hope I can do better in the coming days. I couldn't write much today because we had an in-house meeting that I had to be present for (some grammar machismo frown at ending a sentence with a preposition but what do I care?). Client called me that I missed some words and that some sentences wear unreadable. It happened that I had been dozing off while I wrote those article and many of the words came out jumbled. It was a total mess and I had to redo the work over again. Remind me next time not to work very late in the night. Also, there was another part of the work that I skipped without even knowing it. So, I had to go back and had that included in all of them. Luckily, jt didn't take me more than 30 minute and I was able to resolve it all and sent the work again. I haven't heard from him since then. I hope he takes it in good faith. This was supposed to be a month whe

It's another new year. Another year to try and achieve goals. Couldn't get everything done in 2020. However, there's another opportunity to try.  If I consistently do something everyday that advances the goal, no matter how small, in a matter of time, a streak is built. One thing about streaks is that when you have one going, especially after going a significant distance, you don't want to break it. Soon, it becomes an habit.  If I write a thousand words everyday, it might look small. However, when you calculate that after 365 days, that's 365,000 words, more than many people will write in their lifetime.  And it's not just for writing. It could be for anything; walking to loss weight, praying, learning a new skill, anything. It just need that small step.  And taking it a bit further, we (silly me. I meant I) can combine several goals and have streaks running from them. It doesn't have to begin big but we build on them over time. DWS wrote over 1.5 million C

It would seem that more than we know it, social media has taken the front seat, handled the steering, and is pushing our lives in the direction it wants. The worst part is that social media is in the hands of those who's major concern is profit. Thus, they pick the stories about death, about killings, all wrongs that exists and feed them to us because they know that the human mind craves for such. What they don't know (I'd like to think like that, excuse them for this) is that such negativity is adversely affecting the people's way of life. Cultures are evolving and with the increase in knowledge and information, crueler people are emerging. Instead of thinking of ways to better the status quo, they device machineries that are mirror images of diabolism. I cringe when I imagine that killings now seem so normal. Just this evening, someone popular was killed. Two shots to the head. People gathered. From his surname, I think I might know someone in the family because we st

There has always been that norm to look down on someone, on their life's works simply because they made a mistake years down the road. That's not the way it works. You don't throw the child away with the bath water. Sometimes, we just need to take the lesson and not judge it by the life of the one who it's coming from. That way we can keep appreciating them for their works and it's impact on our lives.  The originator of a work isn't always as important as the work itself. Some of the worst politicians have given us the best moments, policies, and infrastructure. Some of the not so likeable personalities have given us the greatest written works which we will continue to enjoy. Isaac Newton dabbled into alchemy, yet we cannot say because of that his second law of motion isn't accurate. That would be a fallacy.  In the holy book of Christians, a prophet was made to marry an harlot because the creator wanted to use his life as a lesson to the people of Israel.

  There's no power in a forgotten story. Sometimes, I find that having to relay the story to myself and to others keep the story fresh. Also, it provides room for a better understanding. Now, you get to poke at the story, like a lab rat, from every direction. This is the way to obtain a complete understanding. Christmas never gets old because we keep poking at this story in every direction. We use the lens of our conscience to determine if our lives have been affected by this great story in any way. And what if we can be affected in more ways than one?  "Repetition is the law of deep and lasting impression" We learn new ways to live, to act, to care. And if you stare long enough, you can feel some of the story rubbing off on you, modifying your personality and in some rare cases, giving you a new lease of life, a reason to keep striving, to keep going.  Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year in advance. 

 You might not believe it but it's the truth. The one I call my Mentor is currently grossing close to  $10000 every single month. That is like the height of it. My word! If I could get even a quarter of that every month, I'm good to go at the moment. And I like the way he said it's completely achievable. He said to just give myself to working hard and do prayers. He said to take like a day out of every week to fast for the books. And so I did some content writing projects today. I was able to write 10 articles within 2 hours. That's roughly 12 minutes for every article. My fingers were just flowing and I didn't really have to think before pouring out the words. I've been thinking about pushing out as many books as I can. The issue I've had has to do with the introductions to the books. And so my other mentor told me that the books need not have an introduction although it could be a plus if have a good story to go with it.  I went to study the Legend's c
