Why I wrote these articles & my purpose in life

Dear Friend,

It makes me feel very happy if some of my articles are helpful or useful to you. If they in some way light your way and make the road easier.

You know, at the end of the day, a man trades his life for what he experiences. At the end, I reckon you have a lot of experiences and not a lot of time.

One day you turn off your computer. And you never turn it on again. So before that day comes, you try to lend a helping hand to others as they climb the ladder of life. A helping hand so they don’t have to repeat your mistakes.

Or go through some of the pain or turmoil you did. You try to build a bridge of hope or make things easier along the way. And you do so with imperfect knowledge, bound by your humanness and imperfections.

So if my experiences in the school of hard knocks are useful to any of you, then that brings me joy.

I think God gives every person at least 1 gift. Some are born with the gift of beauty. And I suppose I envy. Some are born with the gift of physical prowess. And I stand in awe.

For me, my gift? I guess it was an insatiable curiosity to figure out what didn’t come easy nor naturally to me — marketing.

And to others, I pass along whatever gift God has given me. Before it’s too late.
