Almost 3 years ago, before I started my training contract to do my professional qualification, a brother advised me to start writing a blog. He says it will help my writing skills and allows me to develop.
I tried and I was not consistent. In fact, before the advice was given, I used to have a blog in my friendster account circa 2006. Yes, friendster sounds so ancient now ever since Facebook come into the picture.
What stopped me?
When I start writing on my computer, I realised the button that I hit most is the backspace button. I contemplate, think and sometimes overthink on what I want to write and end up spending so many hours writing even a short a blog. Worse still, I deleted the entire blog I wrote just because I feel it is not appropriate.
Yes, it is the whole issue of what people would think. I believe this is a disease which I have contracted and am planning to treat myself against this disease. It has eaten my confidence to speak up and at times I found hard to stand up against wrong things.
Now I come to realise that I have been worrying about think that might not even exist or if it were to exist i.e. criticism, it will only be for my own good. I need to take them positively and develop myself.
This is my first post in as many months but I hope this time around it will keep on coming. I do hope that I will be able to speak my own mind and not afraid of criticism but would appreciative of them.
That's all for now!
