Writing and Taking Risks

It is yet again a cold and lazy evening... Power interruption has been ongoing for hours now and yet again, I am thinking of things... Yesterday, I was reading the book of Bob Ong, Stainless Longannisa, it was my first time reading it and got hooked up by the book, it was just about his journey of being a writer. I once dreamed of being a writer as well, but unfortunately it didn't push through... I like writing my opinions and my feelings but I think it just ends there... I have written a short story when I was in my high school years and some of my friends who read it tells me that the story was good and that I can be a great writer (now i don't know where the heck that notebook was!).... I guess being a writer will never happen.... Going back to the book, Bob Ong has had his doubts and fears when he tried to do his first manuscript, to meet the deadlines, to publish the book and if it will be supported by the public, but he took the risk and now he had a lot of books published that became an inspiration to the youth... That made me think that even the most successful people had their chance of fear and desperation... Though that odds are not seen, they are still human beings... This made me realized that everyone needs to take risk in order to be happy... and everyone can be successful whether you are in an agonizing situation, it is just a matter of perception and wit... That made me think that I am indeed a blessed person....
