If there's a competition on the number of blog sites a person holds, they'd better make me the champion! I probably own at least one or two blog accounts on every major blogging sites such as Xanga, Blogger, and Live Journal. I gave up writing on each of them pretty quickly. I hope this one will not be another victim. I guess you learn from your past mistakes and you make it better the next time, right?
In writing this article, I asked myself why I want to start yet another blog. My previous blogs failed because they lacked its purpose and substance. Looking at the blogs from three years ago, I cannot imagine anyone would have the slightest interest in reading about what I had for breakfast or what project I was working on at work. I thought it was cool at the time, but I certainly don't think so reading it three years later. I quit writing because I had no motivation to write something that people have no interest in.
My purpose of starting this blog site is really effectively communicate my opinion on issues around the world to the readers. Through doing this, I hope to also attract readers who enjoy reading the things that I have to write about. If you look around your office or your government, the people who are most influential and get what they want are those that communicate effectively. I suppose blogging is a great way for you to practice that.
As a naive Computer Science major back in college five years ago, I thought I would never have to worry too much about writing or communicating. I cannot stress enough on how important it is for any engineer to go out and take lots and lots of GE or English classes that require writing. The more writing, the better. I will make sure that I don't bitch about my life here. If you catch me doing that, please let me know!
My goal is to write about interesting topics here that will at least keep you awake. So far I think I am doing a good job since you've read this far already. :)
Till next time!
