Hi,
today was one of those days, where there is no room to take a brake. I wanted to post in the morning, but due to work related issues, I'm doing it now, close to midnight. I'm writing every day, due to different reasons, first being consistency. Consistency is one of the traits that humans needs to train. It is also the next step for determination on reaching the set goals.
The power of the habit is a real strong one, and mostly it compounds over time.
Language training would be the second. English is not the first, and not even the second language, that I speak. It is somehow different, and it has the most basic grammar from all that I speak, but has nuances and sometimes slight different meaning, that I need to work on.
The third would be the rewards, as I could ramble on other social media sites, but to no avail. I would be a hypocrite, if I would say something different, and behave as this would not matter. Let's get over the shallowness and talk clearly about.
The last, but not least, would be the networking aspect. In the past 7 and something years, since I've joined, I've encountered a lot of people, mostly real cool ones. Not all, but most. The power to connect with people all over the world, with different views, different social status, and different life, is amazing. It is one of the biggest social bubble bursters, as we, as people, tend to live in our own social bubble. I see it in my social circle, most are white collar professionals, or entrepreneurs. Now, with the help of the chain, I have unemployed friends in Greece, veterinarians playing with X-rays in Portugal, a big guy in Spain, or a hustler in Mexico. I would have never met them, or be in contact with them, without the chain. This is the beauty of the chain. It opens minds and worlds.
Well, I said last, but this is also important, be humble, you never know what the other person is going through.
