Blogging, The First Attempt


I am into reading but not much on writing.  There’s seems so much in my head, but I have trouble in putting it into words, it is such a challenge finding the right terminology to be used.

I hope this blogging thing would enhance my writing skills.  I will never know unless I’ll try, right?  It’s been said that the expert in anything was once a beginner.  Will this apply to me?? We’ll see. :)


This will be my first blog then. ;) Now I’m thinking of how many words should this be? What am I going to write?  Getting started is the hardest part indeed. Whew!

My partner and I have been talking about blogging stuff months ago, but I could not get started for so many reasons.  I am busy with my ever-demanding full-time job for one, and I don’t have the resources, and a ton of excuses.  Yes, excuses!  But you know what the real reason is?  FEAR.  The fear of doing something I am not sure of; the fear to be criticized; the fear to face reality, the fear of failure.  But, one should give a kick-start to get going.  And besides, I am running out of excuses. There is nothing much to do now since I just resigned from work, I have a new laptop to be used, I have an unlimited Wifi.  I could no longer find any loophole now.  Nevertheless, I want to give this a try.

As I was saying, I just give up my full time job.  I’ve been with the company for over 9 years, hence, resigning was such a tough decision.  I did let go of a promising job to start all over again.  I would probably start from the bottom, though it is not necessary, but yes, I may start from the underneath.  The common denominator now is START.  I will be starting to get a new job, I need to get started to my way up again.  Further, I am starting with this blog posting which I am not sure which way it is going.  What is important is that I have already started with it.  A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step as what Confucius said.  I would like to believe that with the very first step anyone would make, it becomes easier to take the second, then the third, and the forth and so on.

If I will just sit down and wait for the world to tap me on my shoulder and provide me my empire with its army, it does not gonna happen.

If you want to make something, START!
