Being a busy university student does not give you the plenty time you wish to do all what you like. One of the things I like is blogging.
Actually I opened this blog because it was a 2% weight of a course called e-commerce. The instructor told us to write 2 entries at least per week, one of them must be e-commerce or technology related and the other one is up to you. First I considered this a homework assignment that should be done whether you liked it or not, but soon I liked blogging itself and I was about to become a blogging addicted.
Day after day, week after week and month after month I built a reasonable readership and started to receive more comments and views in the blog. However, I went through times where I was busy , do not have a time to write or do not have something to write. Views on the blog dropped down dramatically and I asked my self ” why don’t you stop blogging since there is no many people interested in what you write – especially that English is a second language for me -”?. When I took a knife to kill my blog I received this comment:
“
Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!
“
So, I put the knife down and said ” Heeee , there some people waiting for what you write, don’t let them down”.
I started working hard again and my blog’s market share went up again and the river flowed again. The saver was AlexM in the post “More Than 40 Hadiths for Women“. So AlexM thank you for saving the blog.
However, like economy , the recession period came again and the same thoughts / feelings. After thinking for a while I took the knife again. When I aimed it to the blog another saver came out by this comment:
“
Hi. I am a long time reader. I wanted to say that I like your blog and the layout.

Yes, Peter you saved the blog in the post “The International Financial System Crisis in the Perspective of the Islamic Economy” , so thank you too. Your action was like the butterfly effect theory, where the butterfly wings movement can stop a tornado!
Many things in life are really like this. YOUR action – regardless if you consider it huge or negligible – influences directly or indirectly. The effects may not come into your mind but this happened throughout history and still happening.
The questions in mind at the end
Why are we so lazy to say ” I appreciate it ” if we appreciate things or people?
Why are we misers in our words?
Why do we like to “take” more than we “give” ?
How many times did we participate in killing others efforts?
How long does it take for us to say or write “keep it up” or “your doing well” – when we really see some good work- ?
or in other words, why don’t we comment ?
Many questions, but, will the answers be ……. ?
