I have always been skeptic about writing blogs. At times I feel that people are showcasing their lifestyle; At times I feel that I am not superior in writing; But probably the biggest factor is that I detest being under the spotlight, getting scrutinized and judged by others who don't really know me.
However, aging shifted my paradigm. First, being a victim in this modern era of technology, I often post photos of my daily life, what I eat and where I go. "A picture speaks a thousand words", but it might not speak my true feeling at that particular snap shot. But writing some captions or few lines of words could leave a more vivid image. It's just doing same thing in a different platform.
Second, English is not my mother tongue, and it has somehow deter me from expressing my real thoughts. A wise man once told me, it's better to write down rather than just speaking out of your mind. Reason being it improves your command of the language drastically. This motivates me to start writing as I wish to fulfill one of my lifetime goal of becoming a platform speaker.
And of cause I have to convince myself getting under hundreds, thousands or even millions of judging by the public. Well, it depends on how popular this blog will end up :) Not really my purpose. To me, at the end of my lifetime, I wish my children will be able to know their father a little bit better. I wish for a legacy to be proudly told of. I wish to touch more lives that a day in the far future, when my children are in trouble, some random people will extend a helping hand, or even speak of my well-being. I'm sure this will be inspirational to my children.
