Long_Ignored Blogger... :)

Found this cartoon at the Geek and Poke blog. It expresses perfectly the feelings of millions of bloggers like me who spend their days waiting for and praying for visitors to their blog.



Friend, bloggers, and fellow manic-depressives - I come not to bury my blog but to praise it...though the stat-counter remains immobile; and the stat-counter is an honourable *#$@&^% little so-and-so. Unread bloggers of the blogosphere, unite. You have nothing to lose except your marbles. Sooner or later(usually later rather than sooner) you'll find your virgin blog gently deflowered by a stray comment. Hey, the guy got lucky. Till that ecstatic moment of fulfilment, carry on writing. And if doesn't happen, console yourself. It's not you. The world is full of barbarians and Philistines

Life Truism..

During my studies of a human nature, I discovered a great life truism...

"You cannot read in a bathtub forever, the hunger will drive you out!"

Its how you see..

Last spring I was walking in a park.

A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter.

The little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon.

All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I braced myself for some screaming and crying.

But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she gleefully shouted out, Wow!

I didn't realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me something.

Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like responding with "Oh no, what should we do" But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying, "Wow, that's interesting! How can I help you?"


One thing's for sure - life's always going to keep us off balance with its unexpected problems. That's a given. What's not preordained is our response. We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated. No matter what the situation, a fascinated “Wow!” will always beat a frustrated “Oh, no”

So the next time you experience one of life's unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a Wow! Experience.

The Wow! Response always works.
