1. Some people need to touch in order to retain memory,
2. Some people read and remembers what was written
3. Some people retains what is heard with the ear
4. Some people retain what is seen by the eyes

The aim of all is to capture the attention, inflame passions, stir emotions and in the end to elicit some form of response. It is known that the memory stores and although response would love to be immediate it is often stored in the memory for another time and another place.

I sometimes point out that I am a work in progress and therefore it may not be a good idea to compare me to others. It is even tragic to compare me to characters as depicted on movie or television screens.

After all I am seen just as I am. I have no scrip with the lines that I should speak. I have no make up artist to give me the perfect appearance. I have no director to ensure that things are done in such a way to stir your emotions. Maybe i am lucky not to have any ideal that i have to portray. I am and remain me.

All too often I hear a quote or scene from a movie to provide inspiration.

So a quote is attributed to the movie star and not the script writer

A feat is attributed to the star and not the stunt double

The star is praised for how well he plays a role and not the director

Now in the end we are entertained to the point where we become lost to reality and begin to believe what is portrayed on the movie and television screen is real. Things is then taken a little further when I am expected to be comparable to what is acted out on a television screen.

Who knows the countless millions?

Uprooted from their homeland

And transported to distant lands

Captured and treated like animals

Brutalized by those seeking to colonize

Subjugated to the vices of wickedness

By those claiming to be civilized

While history ignores the genocide

Now the weak have become strong

And are prepared to hold their own

So the colonial power shake in fear

Knowing well that retribution is near

And they who were classed as animals

Are immortalized in the greatness annals

For where the oppressors have climaxed

Now they are blazing new paths into glory

What if you knew for sure that your life will finally end up with everything being beautiful? Well, guess what? It will. You have several options on how you may choose to approach life and make it happen.

1. Do nothing. Whether you lie in bed all day or go by the sea shore and throw pebbles into the sea, time and circumstance will not wait on you.
2. Let circumstances dictate. Some material are so light that wherever the wind blows it will just get carried along. When the place is calm nothing happens and when the wind blows it ends up where it lands.
3. Ride with the tide. Things which ride with the tide often ends up out at sea. There is the possibility of being carried by the waves for thousands of miles or ending up on the shore. In the case of thing which are moved along by a river the ultimate destination is out at sea.
4. Follow a path dictated by others. The bigger that life’s goals are means the more people that it will take to make the goals a reality. Life is either about chasing your own goals or being engaged in chasing other people’s goals.
5. Take the bull by the horns. While a literal bull may not be meant in this metaphor, a bull is renown for its strength. The strength of the bull is in its neck but a farmer know that if he can control over the bulls horns then has control over the bull’s neck and and therefore its strength.

Every morning when the sun rises it brings new hope. Every day is comparative to being given a blank journal and entries be entered for the day. This is partly why at the end of a day there could be nothing to record because a choice can be taken to do nothing.

Things that gets easily blown about by the wind quite often have relatively value. Most time these are considered as being use less. Being blown by the wind is indicative of a lack of will, purpose and or stability.

Taking a ride with the tide is taking the path of least resistance. The ultimate destination is a large body of water and likely being in the middle of nowhere. Things which ride with the tide eventually end up as junk on the shore and in the worse case scenario as junk on a distant shore far away from home.

Some people dream of being indispensable to others. This often leads to a false notion and sooner or later such persons realize that there are others who are just as good or even better than themselves. These persons adopt an attitude that launching out on their own requires too much capital, time and effort. They simply lack the desire to be the man at the top.

Some people simply just love challenges. In a similar way to how a farmer knows that if he can control the horns of a bull then he can also control its immense strength, these people understands that adversity is not an enemy. Advertises to these people are just the catalyst that unleashes the inner power of the mind. Ideas are comparable to ore which needs to be mined and processed into valuable metals and resources.

In the end life will be beautiful because no matter how much you get, you will not pass your expectations.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
