Day 15: Responding
I have trouble trusting anyone who doesn’t show their face on-line, yet has critical judgements to make of someone else, who ISN’T afraid to show their face. Medium is simply a place to write, and the quality of an article or topic has to do with what the reader gets out of it. If you didn’t get anything new out of it, just simply move to the next one. wow…too much animosity in many of the responses. Is that what you consider quality Medium writing — giving out derogatory responses?
Thank you for the article, Jon, and there are many people who may be hearing this for the first time, and these ideas are not stale. Stale gets thrown out, like stale bread, but ideas that are still working do NOT get thrown out, and maybe your words gave someone a reason to hold on, and seek further information. Those who truly seek, will find. You were right about it is hard work, but anything worthwhile is. People usually quit because of something inside of them. I know that’s what I have to deal with when I am procrastinating, that I am stuck on something I don’t know how to do, or it seems too hard to figure out. Typically, that is me with technology, and it’s terminology. I just don’t always understand it, and I am in that position now. But, I will figure it out, or find my Who. Fear is a liar. So, this article is my push to get back on my track. Thank you. Namaste.
In the words of J.W. Goethe, German Philosopher: Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from that decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his (her) way.
And that, Christina M. is how it works when you don’t have money. You can get free online the book, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, written, I believe in 1903. Hardly a stale read, even though it has been around for over 100 years. Keep an open mind to it’s ideas.
I may have known about on-line business for sometime, but hadn’t pursued it until later in my life, other than a website and blog. But, the industry is growing, as you remarked, and it will STILL give many people the opportunities to become greater versions of themselves, and reach many people with their skills and knowledge, thanks to on-line businesses. It will give people the option to find resources, out source the parts they are not skilled in; thus, creating jobs for someone else, allowing people to work from home.
