• Internet Legacy

  Internet Legacy

   

  We leave a legacy on the internet...me and you and anybody blogging. I was looking at my internet presence today. Xanga does not count as my Internet presence because it is not open to search engines and Zeal4Living is more the handle hear. I have a Yasni search engine that sends me on a monthly basis a lost of where my name is mentioned. Fortunately I have an uncommon name so it is easy to distinguish myself using the search. I discovered again this time a few places where my old IT blog is being quoted. I do enjoy it when I see it because then at least I know I wrote something of value to somebody else. I also discovered a video that was taken when I competed in a PPTK powerpoint challenge. I wrote a blog about it at the time. We were given a set of slides and had to create a presentation from the slides 5 minutes before speaking.

     

  Looking at my entries, and presence on the web, I must say that I am happy with everything I wrote here on Xanga as well as elsewhere. We share on Xanga our disappointments as well as achievements. Often my hopes are exposed and at other times just a rambling as if we were sitting in front of a fireplace in winter talking. We can expound our philosophies and test our reasoning for all and everything. We venture through various phases of our life...and all of it reflects something of how we evolved over time.

  Every entry I wrote on Xanga was honest and from the heart...you know me through Xanga and you know much of whom I am as a person. I do not regret anything I have ever written. I might at times have been wrong about something...but in the end it is also part of the human process of evolution. We do, we make mistakes, we learn, we do and finally we succeed.

  Every entry on Xanga is not a winner. Every entry does not make a difference. But in all the writing there is a few entries that are remarkable, a few entries we should read again and again. Maybe if we are lucky 10% of what we have written was worth the while writing down. However it is that 10% that makes the difference and that motivates us to keep on writing, keep on sharing. Maybe somewhere, someone might stumble upon a writing and find benefit from that writing. Maybe that in itself is a reward for writing things down.

  I am not writing this only to blow my own horn but actually to encourage all who read this to write on Xanga...and contribute to the community. The ancient Egyptians carved with effort their messages on stone walls. Lets carve our messages on the walls of the internet. Maybe a lot of it will be lost but we alos know that maybe something of what we are might be preserved...Lets again encourage each other to write to add value...to make a difference and to be part of a community rather than just individuals that write their blog's. Xanga can not create a sense of community ...we create a community. Lets again blog, read and comment so that we create in #Xanga a true caring community that support each other to grow and improve our writing.
