The Old Posts

I have been reading the old blog posts and I cannot believe I have kept up the habit of writing blogs for the past three years.  Bad habits are easily picked up on but good habits can be hard to get by. Writing is a good habit that I hated as a child but grew to love as I become an adult.   Partly I have to blame on how the school system make and force students write essays after essays when they have no interest in the writing topics.  I don't like to blame anything or anyone but when it is a fact it is good to speak up and say the truth, even if it offends someone.

One skill that writing has taught me is that when we truly believe in something we can make it a reality.  If we truly believe that we can improve at something then we can.  If we truly believe that something will happen then it will.  The key is to adjust our actions and techniques in accomplishing the goals and to always be aware of our mistakes and actions.  When we do those, we can easily reach our goals.

In addition, my thought process is different. I went from using blogging as a medium to complain to strangers about my life problems to using it as a space where I write what I am passionate about.  I came to like politics, science, even cultures and the people in the world and all sort of topics that school taught us while writing my blogs and this comes from not having a teacher standing over my shoulder and tell me what to do; through writing I became a child again who is open to the world and who loves to learn whatever is out there.

Compare to what school has taught me, my life experiences have definitely given me a better lens to see the true reality of the world .  I am more matured and clear in my thinking and especially in my own actions.  I take responsibilities in my own hands rather than being dependent on other people.  I learn to think for myself rather than having books teach me how to think.  The best part is I saw the world for what is is and learned how to adapt to it and this comes from the act of writing and the worldly experiences I have .  Writing definitely has the power to transform anyone into a new person and I am a testimony to the fact.
