Dalam dunia teknologi dihujung jari, informasi yang diolah dan digubal untuk tatapan pembaca, pendengar mahupun penonton adalah menjadi suatu yang perlu diambil kira kepentingannya kerana selain menyampaikan sesuatu yang berguna untuk dicerna oleh pemikiran, juga sebagai satu tanggungjawab sosial yang mana informasi yang benar dan tepat dan tidak jauh menyimpang dari norma kehidupan masyarakat timur perlu dititik beratkan.
Tidak keterlaluan jika dikatakan pada zaman ini, setiap orang mampu untuk menjadi wartawan, penulis, perunding imej, mahupun pengulas sukan secara tidak rasminya apabila ramai dari golongan-golongan yang tidak kira dari mana latar belakangnya sudah mula menjinakkan diri dalam dunia ‘blogging’. Dengan penyedia-penyedia perkhidmatan untuk ber’blogging’ tumbuh bagaikan cendawan selepas hujan, tidak menghairankan jika dunia ‘blogging’ semakin rancak dirasakan saat ini.
Setiap dari ‘blogger’ yang kecintaanya adalah menulis dan menyampaikan bahan berguna kepada pengikut dan pembaca walaupun tanpa mengeluarkan sebarang karya penulisan, adalah menjadi kewajipan untuk terus bertanggungjawab dalam setiap apa yang dihasilkan dan dikeluarkan. Lebih menjadi kebanggaan apabila setiap entri yang berguna kepada pemikiran manusia itu dihasilkan sendiri tanpa memplagiat dari mana-mana sumber.
Ilmiah bukan bererti menjurus kepada karya yang dari pangkal hingga ke pucuknya dipenuhi dengan huruf dan perkataan yang membosankan. Kerana selagi karya yang terhasil itu mampu memberi pemikiran yang baharu untuk diproses oleh minda pembaca selagi itu ia boleh dikatan berilmiah. Sebagai contoh jika entri yang dihasilkan hanyalah dari sekeping gambar sekalipun, jika ia membawa seribu pengertian dan pemahaman yang berlainan dalam setiap dari yang melihatnya itu sudah cukup untuk membawa kepada suatu paradigma baharu dalam minda pembaca.
Sesungguhnya untuk mencapai status blogger bertaraf dunia ini memerlukan sisi pemikiran yang lain daripada yang lain. Boleh juga diaplikasikan untuk kita yang berbudaya timur untuk sentiasa memperlihatkan pemikiran yang global tetapi masih bertindak dalam skala lokaliti yang membawa kepada kemaslahatan dalam setiap insan yang menatap karya-karya dalam blog kita secara keseluruhannya.

Objectives are like foods. You can't survive without food and water, and the same goes to objectives. If you don't have objectives in your lives, then why do you live your lives at all?
When you have an objective, you have set your mind that you want it no matter what. So, you'll work hard towards your objective. You want to be the best student, you’ll study hard. You want to be the best writer, you’ll read and practice hard. You want to be the best blogger, you’ll work hard too. That's where objectives are important.
A world class blog is a blog that have quality contents, interactivity with readers, and have the ability to make people interested with your blog and make frequent visits. To achieve all this criteria, you have to constantly work hard to improve the contents of your blog and learn how to improve the quality of your blog. The will for you to work hard comes from the objectives that you have set. Without objective, you won’t have that will to work hard to achieve world class blog.
My objective in blogging? Simple, to attract people to read more books and increase the average number of books read by Malaysians per year. I share the best books that people should read and try to make people interested to read them. My blog is far cry from being the world class blog. There are still tons of works that I need to do to improve my blog. But, I won’t back down from my objective. I will continue to work hard and learn from other successful blogs

Do you still remember this place?
It's not the place where we first met..
But it's the place where something else happened..
Something that I will never forget..
Ever……
Woman :
Of course I remember this place..
It has been the biggest memory of mine..
And it will always be..
The moment when I knew that I can never live without you..
Forever……

How that day changed us..
Although it was a bit unexpected..
It changed us..
Into who we are today..
Nevertheless, it changed us..

We would never be this way..

Man :
I find it so peaceful here..
It reminds me of what we had, and what we could’ve have..

But be sure that I will always be here..

The boat..

Kadangkala, hati pasti ingin ke suatu tempat yang menenangkan diri kan? Kita hanya ingin duduk di situ. Tidak perlu banyak bicara. Pandangan jauh dilemparkan menatap keindahan alam. Pemandangan membiru nun jauh di sana. Tenang dan damai pasti membungkus terus pemikiran berselirat di dalam fikiran. Dengan cara ini juga kita dapat bermuhasabah panjang. Menghargai nafas-nafas berbaki yang DIA masih pinjamkan. Maha Suci Allah. Itulah cara yang biasa aku lakukan apabila sepertinya perjalanan hidup terlihat sukar. Dapat berhujung minggu begini memang mengasyikkan.
Aah..jauh benar lamunanku. Waktu maghrib sudah mau menjelma. Aku cepat-cepat berkemas dan berlalu meninggalkan pasangan itu. Duduk di jeti dan melihat dua insan ini, ada pelajaran yang diam-diam aku cernakan dalam fikiran. Petang itu, aku melihat hidup ini umpama hembusan nafas. Saban nafas Allah sentiasa barukan kehidupan kita. Yang memerhati, hatinya akan tunduk.
berkasih denganmu
membuatku bahagia
tatkala kita harungi
pancaroba kehidupan ini
tiada siapakan mengerti
kita renung jauh
membina harapan
yang kekosongan
di jiwa yang kudus
di lautan yang tiada pesisiran.
kita cipta seribu impian
mengidam kejayaan tanpa keluh
di ranjau hentian ini
kita masih setia.
acapkali gelora melanda
badai berombak pilu
gejolak perasaan yang makin celaru
ku berserah hanya padaMU.
aku bina harapan
yang kekeringan dan kekosongan
di jiwa yang tandus dan kudus
aku melayari sejuta impian
di lautan yang tiada penghujung.
aku cipta beribu angan
dan melarik mimpi indah
namun kekosongan
di sudut setenang ini
sebenarnya tersembunyi
perasaan yang makin celaru.
bersalut senyuman dan impian
yang ku larik
ku gagahi langkah
demi sebuah perjuangan
melewati hari-hari
yang ku tinggalkan sepi
di penghujung usia ini..

Adam dan Hawa simbolik terindah kehidupan manusia di bumi ini,terikat oleh satu lafaz akad yang menghalalkan hubungan antara keduanya dan permulaan dalam membaja benih-benih cinta disirami bahagia.Ayah dan ibu,perkataan biasa yang membawa erti yang luar biasa bagi yang benar-benar faham akan wajah kedua insan itu.
Si ayah sentiasa memandang jauh cuba sedaya upaya menutup kepayahan hidup bersama ibu yang setia disisi mendokong setiap langkah si suami dalam meniti arus kehidupan yang kadangkala menoreh hati insani yang ada ketikanya lemah longlai dalam berperang dengan hidup.Air yang berarus tenang seolah-olah bayangan kepada setiap cubaan yang datang namun dapat dirungkaikan kesulitanya dengan ketenangan yang berputik hasil semaian kebahagiaan yang tiada taranya dikurniakan pendamping yang bersumpah setia untuk berada di sisi selamanya.
Kesengsaraan lalu usah diukir dalam sanubari,biarlah ia dibawa oleh deras arus desiran bot di jeti,agar hidup diwarnai cahaya kegembiraan dan membawa jauh kegusaran dari kehidupan.
Apakah ertinya hidup meski dalam istana sekalipun kalau istana itu hanya berdiri dalam lumpur dan noda.Tidak ada yang lebih besar dari dari cinta kepada kehidupan yang damai dan keadilan yang merata yang akan memberikan kepada kita kebahagiaan dan kesenangan.Damailah lelaki atau para suami yang dikurniakan zaujah solehah yang berjuang menutup auratnya demi ketenangan suaminya di akhirat kelak.
Wanita adalah paduan dan penyatuan dari sifat alam dan kehidupan,laksana matahari yang memancar,laksana bulan yang bersinar,seperti angin yang bertiup,ibarat air yang lembut yang menyegarkan dan memberi kehidupan kepada seluruh hidupan.
Hidup ini janganlah dimusnahkan oleh perasaan hati semata mata,Tiap orang harus melihat hidupnya dari rasa gembira dan bahagia,dari kekuatan dan perjuangan.kehidupan ini amat pendek dan akan menjadi lebih pendek lagi jika seseorang tidak mencurahkan erti ke dalamnya.
Yang dilihat mempunyai irama warna,yang didengar mempunyai irama bunyi,yang dialami mempunyai irama rasa,yang tak berbunyi mempunyai irama sepi.Kesenyapan lebih nyaring bunyinya.Erti kehidupan.

FAIRUZ HAMIZAH
Saya bersetuju dengan kata-kata di atas. Lebih banyak bilangan A yang diperoleh, lebih baik pencapaian dirikita. Mengapa?Antara faktor perdana ialah pelajar tidak berputus asa mencari ilmu dan sentiasa berusaha dengan bersungguh-sungguh. Apabila kita melihat seseorang itu berjaya dalam apa jua bidang yang diceburinya, kita harus bertanyakan diri sendiri, adakah orang itu berjaya tanpa sebarang usaha? Pada saya,pastinya tidak! Oleh itu, jika pelajar ingin memperoleh kejayaan, bertindaklah “bagai air mencari jenisnya”.
Kebanyakan manusia yang mencapai kejayaan dalam hidup tidak akan bergantung kepada nasib semata-mata. Hal ini kerana, manusia dari dahulu lagi sedar bahawa mutiara dimuntahkan tidak timbul oleh laut. Dengan kata lain, ilmu diperoleh dengan belajar dan tidak mencuba jalan singkat yang akhirnya membawa padah.
Kejayaan seeorang pelajar dalam pencapaian akademik bergantung pada semangat kental yang ada padanya untuk mencapai cita-cita dalam hidupnya. Semangat kental ini harus diikuti dengan daya usaha yang serius dan berterusan. Sifat-sifat positif ini yang akan menentukan hala tuju hari muka seseorang pelajar. Justeru, hal ini membuktikan bahawa lebih banyak bilangan A yang diperoleh, lebih baik pencapaian diri kita.
Di samping itu, semestinya pelajar yang menunjukkan pencapaian yang baik ini mengamalkan nilai-nilai murni dalam kehidupan sehariannya. Contohnya seperti, berdisiplin, rajin membuat latihan, dan mengulangkaji pelajaran dengan efisien. Dengan adanya kesedaran sedemikian, pelajar menggunakan masa lapang dengan perkara yang berfaedah.
Pelajar yang menunjukkan pencapaian yang cemerlang ini juga tekun dalam kelas dan menyiapkan tugasan yang diberi oleh guru pada masa yang ditetapkan. Hal ini selaras dengan kata-kata pujangga ‘orang cerdik memberi jawapan, orang bodoh memberi alasan’.
Tuntasnya, saya ingin menegaskan bahawa kejayaan seseorang individu dalam hidupnya bergantung pada daya usaha sendiri bak kata pepatah, “ kalau tidak dipecahkan ruyung, manakan dapat sagunya”. Pelajar cemerlang perlu dilahirkan setiap tahun yang berminda kelas pertama seperti yang diuar-uarkan oleh mantan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi.

Malaysia nowadays comprises students who possessed the higher order thinking skills. With this fascinating concept, we had step into a new level where competitions among students became more and more intense. Malaysia now had witnessed most Malaysians who incredibly achieved resounding success. Some Malaysians relate success to the achievements that they gained during examinations but some thinks the opposite. So let us just put it this way ; How successful and happy you are in the future, is determine by how you view your world.
The older we become, the harder our studies will be. That is just how life goes. Nothing, yes NOTHING in life is easy. In my opinion, it is a must for every student to strive for the best in every examination. No denial that scoring A’s in our examinations will develop a better us. In terms of what? ATTITUDE. Because in order to score an A in an examination, it requires us to be discipline. Without discipline and morals, it is easy to be lured by negative influences and studies will be left behind. To get an A is not easy and it needs a lot of effort from the students. With persistent effort, an A can be successfully gained.
However, there is no perspective that says students that does not score many A’s will have a dark future. There is always another way of being excellent at school. A great example is being active in co-curricular activities. All universities in Malaysia will not only see academic excellence, but also see students excellence in co-curricular activities. This concludes that scoring A’s will form a better student in terms of attitude and behavior but it does not means that only ones with many A’s will be guaranteed with great futures. To be excellent in both is the best.

Bila berbicara tentang mentaliti, kita sering mendambakan mentaliti kelas pertama. Saranan kerajaan mahukan warganegara yang bermentaliti kelas pertama terus menjadi tanda tanya apabila dalam kita mendaki puncak kemajuan seiring dengan Wawasan 2020 yang menjadi tonggak aspirasi seakan masih jauh untuk digapai apabila sebilangan rakyat masih memperlekeh usaha kerajaan ini dengan sengaja untuk tidak bersama-sama menjadikan Malaysia mempunyai mentaliti kelas pertama dalam segenap perkara.
Hal ini demikian kerana setiap hari kita melihat kejumudan akal fikiran serta kejahilan tingkah laku yang dilakukan seorang warganegara dalam menjalani kehidupan sehari-harian mereka. Ini dapat dibuktikan dengan beberapa perkara seperti meletakkan kenderaan bukan pada tempatnya, buang sampah merata-rata serta melanggar undang-undang jalan raya.
Dalam setiap perkara yang dilakukan ada sebab dan alasannya sendiri, dan undang-undang tercipta juga kerana ada sebab dan musababnya sendiri. Bukan mudah hendak mudah, dan bukan susah hendak susah, jadi dalam pada kita mejalani kehidupan seharian kita perlulah melengkapkan diri kita dengan segala kemungkinan tetapi dalam masa yang sama masih mengekalkan nilai-nilai murni, bertanggungjawab dan beretika sekali gus melahirkan generasi yang bertamadun dan mempunyai minda dan mentaliti yang gemilang, jadi hasilnya tidaklah dapat kita lihat kenderaan diletakkan di hadapan pili bomba sehingga menyukarkan kerja individu lain, juga sampah-sarap juga tidaklah bertaburan, terapung di jalanan dan sungai mencemarkan alam dan pandangan mata serta akhirnya tidaklah lagi kita mendengar berita kemalangan ngeri atas kebiadaban sesetengah samseng jalanan.
Akhir bicara, kita sebagai individu yang tinggal bermasyarakat dan bersatu sebagai warganegara perlulah sentiasa mengubah sikap kearah yang lebih mulia agar dipandang tinggi masyarakat dunia dan jika sekecil-kecil perkara pun kita gagal atasi, apatah lagi jika datangnya segerombolan permasalahan sebab yang kecil itu jika diamal akan membiasakan yang besar. Semoga kita terus menuju aspirasi dan wawasan negara untuk menjadikan kita warganegara kelas pertama dan Allah telah berjanji tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum melainkan kaum itu mengubahnya sendiri.

There is a riddle I want you to play,
I hope you won’t be taking the whole day,
To solve this brain-twisted question,
You need to see beyond your vision..
Behold the picture that you were given,
Make sure your mind isn’t already stiffen,
Because to find the key to unlock,
All you need to do is think-out-of-the-box..
There is something wrong with the given picture,
Something that is not supposed to be there,
Can you come up with a perfect answer,
That will make your consciousness clear?
Is it the color that is absolutely wrong?
Yellow instead of red is somewhat not so strong?
If that is your final observation,
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the color is not the question..
It is painted yellow for only one mean,
Because the water is connected to public main,
When you see other color, don’t be intimidated,
Because there are also hydrants which are white and violet..
Is it the placement that catches your attention?
You may think the sidewalk is not a suitable location.
I doubt that this is a strong counterclaim,
The placement is definitely not the answer I aim..
A hydrant is essential in a time of tragedy,
To put out flames that brings people misery,
To place it at a spot that is easy to reach,
Is the best approach someone can come up with..
It’s only fair for me to give the answer now,
If you haven’t still discovered it somehow,
What is wrong with the picture provided?
It is the car behind the hydrant..
A common-sense law is violated here,
To park a car where a hydrant’s near,
This act is selfish, it’s disproportionate,
It’ll cost so much to the ones who’s unfortunate..
So people please,
Don’t park anywhere near a fire hydrant!!

Memang sulit untuk memahami dan mengatasi masalah sikap manusia yang gemar mementingkan diri sendiri. Golongan seperti ini sebenarnya bukan tidak mengetahui peraturan-peraturan yang perlu dipatuhi tetapi kadangkala nafsu untuk bersikap pentingkan diri sendiri, mahu cepat dan hendak kerja mudah lebih mengatasi keinginan untuk mematuhi peraturan yang telah ditetapkan.
Tahukan anda bahawa pili bomba adalah sumber bekalan air kepada pasukan Bomba dan ianya sangat mustahak di dalam usaha memadam kebakaran atau mengawal api daripada merebak ? Tetapi rata-rata hari ini, ramai yang memandang enteng kepada kepentingan pili bomba. Barangkali mereka lupa, peraturan dicipta kerana ada sebab musababnya.
Bersikap “tidak apa, sekejap saja”. Mungkin itulah agaknya yang difikirkan oleh pemilik kenderaan mewah yang meletakkan kenderaan berhampiran pili bomba ini. Tindakan pemilik kenderaan yang meletakkan kenderaan bersebelahan dengan pili bomba ini mengundang pelbagai kesulitan kerana ianya menghalang pasukan bomba daripada melakukan tugas memadam kebakaran.
Apalah sangat nilai denda RM300 yang dikenakan kerana kesalahan yang disengajakan ini. Jika beliau mampu berkereta mewah , sudah pasti nilai tersebut bukanlah satu masalah. Bayar sajalah. Tetapi barangkali beliau lupa, sikap mementingkan diri sendiri ini bukan sahaja menyukarkan usaha pasukan Bomba memadam kebakaran tetapi bagaimana pula tentang nasib mereka yang ditimpa kesusahan dan kerugian kerana kebakaran lambat dipadamkan ?
Senario ini sebenarnya sudah terlalu biasa kelihatan di mana-mana. Bukan tidak cukup kempen kesedaran atau tiada penguatkuasaan tetapi inilah masalah SIKAP. Masalah SIKAP masyarakat kita hari ini terhadap pelbagai perkara telah membuatkan kerajaan terpaksa mengeluarkan belanja besar untuk mengadakan kempen kesedaran tetapi di penghujung hari, kempen hanya tinggal kempen. Hanya sekadar dengar dan pandang.
Selagi kesedaran dalam diri tidak diperkasakan, maka kewujudan pelbagai peringatan, undang-undang dan denda maksimum sehebat mana sekali pun, masalah ini hanya kekal menjadi masalah yang berlarutan dan kian parah .
"This photo is meaningless to me,
Nothing special,
It's only a hydrant on the side of the road,
Only know to disturb cars from parking near it,
Sometime it damages the beautiful landscape around it,
Uh,,,
What a poor and useless thing put by the governance!"
That's my first impression during my childhood days,
When I know almost nothing about this world,
Ironically,
Now,
I know and comprehend,
Everythings that's created has it owns intention,
My perspective towards the hydrant totally changed,
I start to look it in the bright side,
Judging with an intellectual mind,
Take it positive,
Transform the useless one to beneficial,
That ultimately become the most compulsory one!
Seriously,
One complex or significant building might burn in the blink of eyes,
The cleanest street might change to the dirtiest street,
The road might be full of smelly and stinky garbage's liquid,
And the most disgusting one is,
The drain probably fill by numerous flies,
Swarming over the scraps of food,
Eh,,,
Of course,
Rate of tourists decrease suddenly,
Pollute Malaysia's outstanding achievement,
That's all,
Because of the absence of this useful thing,
That's only small matter in majorities,
Contrary,
It's a great,useful machine and creation!
THAT'S THE HYDRANT !
So,let's practise cleanliness in our lifestyle.
Indeed,cleanliness is branch of our faith.
As mentioned by our great prophet :
[Sahih Muslim : Book 2, Number 0432]
Abu Malik at-Ash'ari (Radi Allah Anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fill upwhat is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves.
Also stated by Allah :
[2. Surah Al-Baqarah : Ayah 222]
Surely Allah loves those who turn much (to Him), and He loves those who purify themselves.

For the past 4 year i'm blogging, the term of blogging for me it just a some of medium to share something or thought with people, friend or anonymous user. I never know that blogging will give you money and make you famous!
When i read about writing in blog and it makes you rich, i think about it, twice. How come just writing something people want to know can give you a stable income?. For me it just a fiction because if you write about something people want to know, they will read it but if you write something nonsense, people hate it. So, who gonna pay for you for something you write?
But when i heard the rumor about one of the blogger got pay almost RM30K, got a free gadget to review, it change my perception in the term of blogging. Trying to put the advert in my blog, write something which can make people come and read my blog. Enjoy in writing is hard when the purpose for the blogging is change. If you write about something you just want to share, it's not hard but.. if you try to write something which all the blogger write about, same topic but different view of writing, this is hard. Try to produce something different from others and it really hard.(Still.. i never got the income from blogging, nevermind that!).
Fun in writing and blogging perception now change. Get rich, famous or just move into your own path. The conclusion, Rich Blogger : Fact or Fiction? My answer, It's a fact jack! Being rich blogger, and what we must to do is change the way we used to writing, the posting, find as many follower as you can, promote your blog in Facebook, twitter, or else.

Hendak seribu daya, mahu seribu cara. Pepatah yang sangat tepat untuk menggambarkan tajuk yang iberikan. Memang diakui ada pro dan kontra dalam menentukan sama ada benar bahawa ada blogger yang boleh meraih keuntungan melalui dunia blog. Sebenarnya, jika kita fikirkan dengan baik, setiap apa yang kita lakukan dengan usaha yang gigih, pasti akan membuahkan hasil. Semuanya bergantung kepada usaha gigih kita dalam memastikan sesuatu usaha itu berhasil atau hanya merupakan tindakan melepaskan batuk ditangga.
Jika anda membaca novel karya Habiburrahman El-Shirazi berjudul “ketika Cinta Bertasbih” jilid ke-2 ada menyatakan jenis manusia yang bekerja. Petikan dialog berbunyi:
“rajin dan aktif pun belum cukup. Ada yang lebih penting sebelum rajin dan aktif, iaitu alasan kenapa harus rajin dan aktif. Ada aktif yang sering menimbulkan kepenatan sahaja dan ada giat yang membawa hasil yang luar biasa. Banyak orang yang tidak dapat membezakan antara sibuk tetapi tidak produktif. Mereka yang Cuma sibuk tetapi tidak produktif, dalam bahasa Caroline Donnelly diibaratkan kincir angin berupa manusia. Nampaknya bekerja keras tetapis sedikit hasilnya.”
Kita teliti ayat di atas “ada yang lebih penting sebelum rajin dan aktif, iaitu alasan KENAPA harus rajin dan aktif”. Seorang blogger yang tahu alasan kenapa perlu aktif dan rajin untuk menulis blog, pasti akan mencapai matlamat yang diinginkan. Jika alasan mereka adalah untuk memperolehi keuntungan, maka mereka perlu menetapkan elemen yang boleh mendatangkan hasil di dalam blog mereka. maka di sini benar, keuntungan melalui blog adalah satu kenyataan, bukanlah bualan kosong.
Jika kita ingin menjadikan blog kita sebuah blog personal, tidak bermakna kita menguruskan blog dengan cara “asal ada” sahaja. Kita masih perlu untuk merancang dari hari ke hari. Apatah lagi jika kita inginkan blog yang boleh memberikan pulangan wang ringgit. Blogger yang bijak adalah mereka yang tidak pernah berhenti untuk terus meningkatkan kualiti penulisan kerana sesebuah blog perlu terus berkembang dan berkembang.

According to Oxford Dictionary in the http://oxforddictionaries.com, blog, in the noun context is a personal website or web page on which an individual records opinions, links to other sites, etc. on a regular basis (I have to copy this from the website as not to change the real academic meaning of it). So, the person who is active in blogging, which is the writer of the blog is someone that having a personal website or webpage on which an individual records opinions and etc.
Furthermore, in this tech savvy world right now, bloggers are synonym with popularity, the gainers of money from the blog. The question is why? Yes, when we are blogging, blog is one of the ways to promote something as lots of people nowadays like to surf the internet in order to get information and many more. It is not a weird situation right now if people are buying from the internet.
Names like Ben Ashaari, the famous blogger on the move and everyone knows him. Whether they are rich or not, I don’t want to state here but rich blogger is kind of matter of fact versus fiction. It is all depend on the intuition of that blogger whether they want to get rich via blogging or not. It is fact for Red Mummy because she’s having a very genius plan in business using blogs but it is just a fiction to the bloggers that using blog to pour out their ideas like me.
Eventually, in my opinion, rich blogger doesn’t exist as the truth is that blogger is the mastermind of the business (the business of selling their ideas through the right kind of media), so it is goes back to the fiction.
The idea to start a blog depends to an individual, what part of the blogging population do they want to be?
Rich Bloggers have to be courageous...the owner of the blog who created this competition for example or Ben Ashaari. Their form of words and actions become so powerful to convince people. They chose the topics which are hit and people searching for it. So is Dapur Tanpa Sempadan...his hit counter is just like the water meter of an Olympic size swimming pool. His entry of a simple dish attracts so many people.
Albeit the words of frustration among them two that sometimes can be heard, they keep on posting for more. That means what ever they post in their blog that may be different to other which make visitors keep coming for more if they will find something interesting. They are certainly rich among the bloggers in the country in terms of the visitors. As far as money is concerned, let's ask the bloggers themselves.
For Rich Bloggers in terms of money, these type of people have set their mind ready to dedicate the day to becoming wealthy just by blogging. These people have an entrepreneurial mission such as promoting or selling the hijabs, handbags and shoes to name a few. Their kind of approach to marketing are smart and driven. Their skills give them a fast track to success and their ideas are unique. In short...blogging is a good medium for doing business by any chance. They don't have nine to five jobs or to close shops. They can have the blog going on twenty four/seven.
Anyways...for those who have succeeded as a Rich Blogger...simply stick with it. Maybe you are meant to be. Well...back to the topic...I guess Rich Blogger is a fact. TQ
