Being with the Best:

It is said that “if you want to soar like an eagle, be with the eagles. If you want to waddle like a duck, be with the ducks.”

After three blog name changes and shuttling between Bloggers.com, WordPress.com, then Bloggers.com, I finally decided to settle, with finality I hope, with WordPress

I started touching on the reasons for the name changes in my blogs at http://wwwjoedabon.blogspot.com. The change in hosting, however, is fairly simple: all the big names in blogging are using WordPress. But of the three successful bloggers I’ve read so far, only Alvin Phang gave me the reason why (at least that which I can understand). More of Alvin Phang later.

Change is never easy. It entails a lot of soul-searching to be able to handle the new environment, the discomfort and hassles of having to learn something new and different. Prior to that, we have to unlearn the previous lessons before we can effectively adapt to the new one. But change we must or become obsolete and be left behind.

As I’ve written in my other blog (see above), ‘Change is the only permanent thing in the world.’ And whereas fear of the unknown is one of the stumbling blocks of change for most, my need to succeed, be with the eagles, has been the driving force behind the changes, evolutions I would rather say, of my blog.
