STAY AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER

From the 29 Ways to Be Creative

#4. Get away from computer.

This is so true. When I am doing something else, a lot of thoughts flow effortlessly, I feel like I would never forget them. I say to myself, "I'll put that in my blog later." However, after a few moments and I am in front of my laptop, I could not remember a single thing that I would blog about, or even if I do, the sequence of thoughts just don't make sense. It's annoying.

#2. Carry a notebook everywhere.

This is the solution to the problem I have stated above. Bring a notebook. Jot down every single thought. But I'm too stubborn. Yes, I have a notebook with me every time but I don't always use it. 

#14. Don't give up.

I guess this is what I should work on. NEVER GIVE UP. I may be stupid now and my posts may be very boring and nonsense but hey, who knows, I might improve one of these days. 

Wanting to Make It Bigtime?

We have alot of stories about people making it big in the internet, whether it be blogging, microblogging, or youtube. Examples are Bryanboy in fashion, Ryan Higa and Kevin Wu in YouTube, Lord_voldemort7 in twitter... Then we all realize, how cool is that? They don't have to do the normal 8-5 office hours, they are normal people and yet they are living "the life."

All of us experience getting burned out in our present job. We think , if they can make it, i can make it too. I want to be popular in the internet, then i dont have to do my job anymore and I will be earning money by doing what I want. However, i noticed that people want to take shortcuts. I get annoyed by these: #followback , SUB4SUB..etc. I know you all know what I'm talking about.

I noticed that these popular internet celebrities never did those. Sure, they put "subscribe" at the end of the video but they don't put SUB4SUB in other people's channel. They became popular because they just did what they love to do. They know what they wanted and eventually, people liked whatever they liked too.

I decided to follow their approach. I don't care if my posts would be liked or read by people. I would just do what I want to do...which is ranting, obviously. If this works out, then perfect...but if this doesn't, well, let's hope this works out. :D
