“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

–Albert Einstein

Last Friday when this article was supposed to be posted, I was already pondering on whether I should still be moving forward with my blogging journey. What would I get from blogging? Have I made progress so far with what I’ve been trying to achieve? Am I doing the right thing? Is blogging really worth the time I spend on it? Should I just do something else instead? Is there a way I could improve how I do things? Should I continue writing my blogs daily? Should I just write shorter ones? Should I just write once a week? The answers to these questions seem to be so elusive. Even up to this point when I am already typing every single word of this blog, I am still in the process of determining what the answers to my questions are. Yes, I could have just deleted all these “paddings” from my text, yet the general concept of my blog-writing is to express my thoughts as they are, untampered and raw as much as possible. More often than not, we’d be gleaming at the seemingly-brilliant ways written works have come before our eyes as we read them. I’m choosing to keep things as close enough to how they came across my mind. There are heaps of things to clarify. With this great tornado of thoughts, I’d choose to tame the storm by once again basing my answers on quantifiable results and pieces of evidence.

THE VERDICT: My two-week blogging journey had been fruitful enough. Although I didn’t know that I’d be able to make it through the past two weeks, I did it somehow. (I’ve got a lot of people to thank, and that really includes YOU. Thank you.) I intend to still continue writing blogs but with modified, less rigid timelines and conditions henceforth. This is for me to allocate time for my next career challenge that I am about to pursue. Who knows? I might write about the next part of my journey here as well.

For now, I’d like my Week 2 Day 5 post to be short yet sweet. Thus, for you to know how I came up with my verdict, please check my very first Slideshare item below. It’s my first attempt to make one so it took a bit longer than usual but here it is now.

THE VERDICT: My two-week blogging journey had been fruitful enough. Although I didn’t know that I’d be able to make it through the past two weeks of my planned blogging, I did it somehow. What seemed like as an impossible thing could indeed be done. I’ve conquered my initial qualms and fears and made it through. I’ve got a lot to thank, and that really includes YOU. 

I intend to still continue writing blogs but with modified, less rigid timelines and conditions henceforth. This is for me to allocate time for my next career challenge that I am about to pursue. Who knows, I might write about the next part of my journey here as well.

I’d like to know everyone’s thoughts. Please feel free to let me know if you have any comment, reaction or recommendation you’d wish to express.

Again, for your important part in my 2-week workday blogging journey, THANK YOU.
