Take #6

This isn’t the first time I’ve started a blog. Probably close to my 6th attempt. It never lasts very long, I think I have an opinion to share, a reason to share my opinion but then I quickly realize I don’t have that much to say or at least not bothered enough to say it. But this time I’ve got new inspiration. Mostly inspired by a close personal friend, who started his own blog not too long ago, and also from my recent travels to South East Asia. While I was traveling with my family and specifically with my father following him around on his business trip I realize something. I realized that a blog for what I had to say wouldn’t last too long, because I would run out of stuff to say in a couple of weeks mostly, and unless I was to repeat the same story over and over (as my friends would know I do sometimes) I’d make a very few number of posts before I got bored of my own stories and give this whole blog business a rest.

But what I realized on this trip was that it doesn’t have to be just my thoughts or my words, in fact it shouldn’t be because I don’t have that many smart things to say. I have, however, been fortunate to be surrounded by and have had opportunities to meet some very wise and smart people. People like my father, who has been running his own business for the last 40 years and who has seen and done some remarkable things in his life. And there are others, people I have met maybe just briefly or people that surround me everyday who have either something wise to say or have illuminated me to have a wise thought.

And then after all of that I might actually have the odd smart thought of my own. So this blog isn’t about just me, but the people around me, the people who make up the thoughts that I have. And based on my experiences and the influences in my life this blog is about a commentary, an opinion of things that I find to be important and things that I think others might find important as well. Whether it be about Events, Dubai, The World, Life, or Politics.
