The University of Life - Part 4
Jun 14th, 2007 by Steve Sandells
“I get knocked down,
but I get up again.
You’re never gonna keep me down”
-as the lyrics to the song by Chumbawamba go. What Lifes University is all about is how you handle the exams that are thrown at you. There are two options after a test, you can take things badly or be positive and start over again. I’m of the second nature.
So after my business break up I mentioned yesterday and having put a solution to the immediate problems by selling everything and covering my debts I decided to try and get back into the food/retail trade and start my career over again. After some searching I finally got back into a supermarket chain in a similar position to the one I had been in previously, and since then I’ve developed my career further which is a major satisfaction.
How does all this reflect in my blogging?
After my early learning, I developed into someone who was socially able. Someone with the understanding of what you can achieve through hard work and the satisfaction that this generates. I also have come to realise that life isn’t a bed of roses, quite often it deals you blows, but if you persist then you can succeed.
So to my blogs.
With hard work I know that I can make wotZcool and my new blog venture sportZview into successful blogs. I know they require lots of hard work, and that occasionally I may take the blogs down the wrong roads. But when I make mistakes I can learn from these and change direction. Persistence is one of the most necessary qualities required and I certainly have that. It’s all about having a vision and holding onto it.
I’m really pleased with how much I’ve learned since I started wotZcool almost three months ago. Also some of the great people I’ve come across since I delved into the blogosphere. Many of you visit wotZcool regularly and I thank you.
I’m still on a learning curve, and need to develop my writing skills further as I try and capture and retain new readers. My RSS indicator hit a high today of 30 readers, and that encourages to keep hitting the keys. I need to learn more about SEO and keywords. How search engines work and how by writing my content with more care including the relevent keywords I can generate more organic search engine traffic. Those will be my goals over the coming weeks.
I thought it would be interesting to write a little about where I’m at, hence the four part series to explain how I got here and where I came from. I didn’t want to get too personal as the details are not the important elements, but how I’ve dealed with things is what’s made me the person I am, and is what little by little will be reflected in my posts.
