Why I Blog
People asked me why I blog. And who is going to read my blog anyway?
In today’s society, people are forever busy and busy. They need to work and attend to thousands of issue in everyday lives. When they can find some spare times, they would spend their times on sports, leisure holidays, movies, parties, reads magazines, watch televisions and many other things. It is really hard to imagine you can get anybody to sit in front of the computer. It they do sit in front of the computers, there are news, e-mails, games, on-line gambling, live chats, pornography and many others that attract their attentions. Why would they waste valuable times reading my blog?
Different people set up their blogs for different purposes. Some use their blogs to report on specific and detailed issues not covered by the mainstream media. Others set up their blogs to champion their courses, what ever that may be. A lot of the blogger use the blog to detail their daily lives and happening around them. And a lot of bloggers hope to change the world with they blogs. So which category of the above I belong to?
Well, when I set up my blog, I gave it a thorough thought. I came to the conclusion that it is unlikely that anybody would like to read my blog if it is not of interesting subjects providing entertainment value or if it is not beneficial to them. Such blog must be able to withstand the test of time, when it is still of value to read years later. So I decided that my blog must portrait the human spirit, it must be thought provoking, must inspire and must consists of articles which can add value to the human kind. I thought, if any one was to stumble onto this web site, he should find the site interesting. So I incorporated some pictures for the background to make the computer screen less objectionable. I used big font to make reading easy and I kept each article short. I promise myself, if I can inspire any one in this whole wide world with any article of my blog, I would have considered the blog successful. I would have contributed in a very small way, to make the world a better place.
