And I agree, though still depending on the target audience, that communication is better achieved through ways that allow more people to understand/empathise rather than impressed with grand words.

@Janko ‘n @Soh, thanks! I love you guys’ blogs too. I’ve learned a few tricks from your well written tutorials.

@Kim, thanks. When I first started writing, one thing I found that was difficult to do was to translate my thoughts into words. Then I realized I was trying too hard. Let my thoughts just flow natural, like having a conversation, was much easier.

@Steven, I’ve read parts of the Kalama Sutra. I found in some ways it’s similar to the philosophical Tao. Many ancient Asian philosophies are focused on self healing. Thank you for insightful comments in the past year! Best luck with your MBA.

I may not have mentioned it but a big part of my change in life direction actually came from a casual gift of the Kalama Sutra, and it took another five or more years but the small thought grew larger and larger and after gaining its own momentum it became something of its own. And here I am today alive and well with a family and such… who would have guessed.

So I vote for not converting people, too. :)

The Taoist achieving everything by doing absolutely nothing has always had an intuitive essence of being of great worth. I guess I’d better run off to school now… will miss the bus. Happy blog birthday and hope you stick around for another year.

I suppose though, the simpler writing simply made it much easier to connect than the harder to understand writing.. and it is a very good lesson for all bloggers (especially myself).
