One word could trigger you to make a whole story.

I am not a foreign person. I am not even good in English. I am not good in grammar.

These are the reasons why I am getting inactive in publishing articles here in read cash. I am afraid that my work will not be good enough if ever someone will read it. I wanted my work to be at least good enough that whoever might read it will get something from it. Like, they can at least be inspired and have some take away.

Honestly, I am really having a difficulty on publishing one as I am not doing anything aside from my work as I am currently working from home. All I can share is about my work. But I already shared some of them.

Despite of these things, I really wanted to try uploading articles as much as I can. As of the moment, I really do not have anything saved on my drafts, until I read one of Eunoia's article. (I cannot tag him as I do not know how and I am shy to do as well. *Laughs)

In his article, it revolves about how he started, how he wrote his articles, and how he is going with read cash. And this specific sentence caught my attention, "One word could trigger you to make a whole story or topic." Which is true enough for me to start a new article and yes, here I am making one.

With this specific sentence, I realized that I should not only keep on writing articles, I should keep on reading instead. And we need not just read it plainly, we need to read it between lines. We need to understand the thoughts, the meaning, and the lesson of an article we are reading. And of course, we cannot write, what we did not read.

To be honest, I am really not fond of reading, I prefer watching stories that remade to movies, than read the book alone. That is true. I even have two books here at home that I started reading but haven't finished yet and that was already months ago. Maybe this is because of my habit of not trying to be patient enough on things. For some reason, I wanted that the result of what I did should show right away. It's like, everytime I started to read a book, I wanted to end the story right away and I wanted as always that the flow of the story I am reading to be always good and thrill. No sadness. No dull moments. That's what I like and that is the reason why I cannot even finish a book. In another word, I wanted for things to happen the way I wanted it to be. Its like I am trying to control the things that are uncontrollable. Its like I wanted to manipulate everything and make it easy always. Its alway like that. I'm always like that. I have no patience.

Which I just realized while reading Eunoia's work, that what I have been doing from the start was never right, that if I wanted to see improvement, I should be changed right away. For the better.

The realization hit me hard. That's when I realized that everything you wanted to gain should be worked on.

That ...

Everything starts from scratch. Everyone starts from being a nobody. A CEO even started as an employee. A mother started as a young girl. That just means, everything starts from nothing, but eventually became everything when worked on.

And that what I will try and make sure to do here in read cash. I spend my time here that I can actually use to other things that I can do, but used it here anyway because I have goals and I should reach the goal I am aiming for. Not now, but I know through the articles published here that I already read and will read in the future, will help me to be encouraged enough to continue. And if I wanted to become successful here, I need to start changing the things I used to do which I know is not right. I wanted to succeed, and I need to work on it.

As Socrates once said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new”.

I wanted as well to say, Thank you Eunoia for inspiring me to do better in my articles through your works. More power!
