Hello and welcome

Posted on 18 May 2009 12:34am in

This is my first blog post ever and, as the title suggests, it is sort of an introduction and welcome note to my visitors.

For those of you who do not know me, I am an author and educator. I write to educate and educate to empower. I believe that every human being has a spark of genius already in them. All you have to do is find that spark, ignite it into a flame and set the world on fire. In other words, discover your potential, explore your limits and live up to your true genius. Prove what you're worth!

Perhaps by now you got an idea of what to expect to read in my blog. But let me explain, quickly.

I write about what I believe in. So you will find articles and resources in this blog that center around the subject of human potential. Now this is a pretty broad area, I understand, and there can be a whole range of topics within it. So to make things easier for both you and me, I have come up with the following four areas of interest, or categories.

Education: The articles you find in this category will be mostly about teaching and learning, about how education can be used to explore the genius and express the greatness that we are all born with. Education can be a joyful experience of marvelous discoveries, it can be an incredible opportunity to unravel your genius, and it can be a doorway to endless possibilities. It can be and it should be. If it is not so, then it isn't education at all - it is torture. I'll be writing quite a lot on this front.

Inspiration: Every article in this blog will be inspiring in some way, but the ones in this section will be especially so. Stories of human achievement and greatness find their place here. We all share a unique human connection, a thread that binds us all heart-to-heart, and so when you succeed, I celebrate, and when I excel, you revel! Isn't that so? If not, shouldn't it be so? We all need a little bit of inspiration and encouragement now and then, especially from one another. So let's celebrate human greatness and be inspired. I'll do my bit here.

Empowerment: Tools, techniques, resources, strategies, principles and disciplines for success and greatness - you'll find them here. No, I'll not give you '10-ways-to-to this' and '20-ways-to-do-that' sort of things. Not my style. I will share with you what I practice myself, or what I know leaders and achievers practice, or what has endured the test of time, or what is new and challenging and worth a try. So no cut-and-paste quick-fixes here. Only genuine, lasting stuff written in my own personal way.

Transcendence: I could have called this category spirituality too, but I like the term transcendence better. Whenever I come up with articles of spiritual nature, I’ll place them here. Now, some people would like to think that spirituality is for the mystics and the old and dying souls, and not for young and modern success-seeking go-getters. But I would say that it is for everyone alive, without exception, kids included. Yes, kids - they are perhaps the most spiritually aware people on earth. How innately curious they are about life and its meaning and purpose! They ask many profound questions like "Who am I? Where did I come from? Where do we all go after we die?" These are questions that adults have mostly forgotten to ask or they simply don't dare ask. I'll ask these and more questions here (in clever ways, of course) and also share my answers. Perhaps you may want to share yours too.

Now a word or two about updates. I plan to update this blog regularly, about once or twice a month, or once or twice in a couple of months. So hop in here now and then to check it out. Or you can receive my new posts directly by email or RSS, if you prefer it that way.

Lastly, and quite importantly, I would want your feedback. Use the form at the end of each post to make your comments about the post or any post-related topic. And if you have something else to say to me, some suggestions to make or some ideas to share, then feel free to contact me. I would be delighted to read your comments, suggestions and ideas. So do me that favor, will you?

Thank you for reading me.
