My first post

This is my first blogging experience as I prefer face to face conversation rather than posting a blog. To me, it’s always better to have someone responding to my words rather than writing through the Internet and waiting for someone to comment. The risk is that, if no one responses, the piece of my ‘hard work’ will be like vanishing into thin air, quite pathetic though. At least this was my perspective before Mr Blackstone made it a compulsory for us to write and post a blog. But most importantly, he told all of us to read one others’ blog and post a comment respectively, which would make me feel much more appreciated (warm my heart :P) as most of us realize it’s really not that easy to write a blog after all, especially when it is the first time.

What makes life meaningful? To me, it is all about interaction and communication. Living in society that we are having now, despite earning money to survive and to improve our lifestyle, there are things that are much more important and meaningful – stay happy and optimistic. Through interaction, we can learn how to make others happy, and consequently we will happy too. By mastering this skill, we can always communicate well with others, and this is the main key to strive and success in our lives. Apart from that, some additional optimism can help us to improve our emotional intelligence. Being able to control our emotions, we can sail through victory much further than we expect, and that’s what I call a meaningful life.
