		<description>&lt;strong&gt;M_Andamon:&lt;/strong&gt; Thanks. It&#039;s awesome that you&#039;re discovering the joys of jumping in and joining the conversation. I&#039;m glad to have touched your life that way. I reckon the &#039;sphere could use more bloggers like you, so, go forth and comment! ;) :)

&lt;strong&gt;Rico:&lt;/strong&gt; Thank you po. Don&#039;t you agree that positive words are more effective in learning (about yourself and others)? I reckon doing something you love and sharing it with friends and people who wishes to be friends with you are ways to learn and, at the same time, inspire. It&#039;s awesome to engage someone like you in conversations cuz you add onto it. :)</description>

		<description>Like you said, reviewing everything you&#039;ve previously done not only reaffirms your capabilities and accomplishments, it also helps people out. At the same time, this activity provides the self-awareness we need to truly learn from our mistakes and discover what we&#039;re really meant to do. Wonderful article Sash! :)</description>

		<description>Hi, very empowering advice. I agree that self-acknowledgement is certainly a must at least once a year - sort of a review of oneself. A &#039;me-time&#039; is not self-indulgent. After all everyone needs to have self-knowledge and self-understanding. But like Sophie, it takes time to summon the courage to actually blog about it for fear of, as you say, being judged. I&#039;ve enjoyed reading blogs for over a year before I even mustered enough courage to post a comment! :) But you&#039;ve inspired confidence. Thanks.</description>

		<description>Blogging is such an empowering hobby. It took me about more than six months to come out of my shell and conquer my fear from people who might judge me as i write about my stuff online, but thanks to you ( a good, good example ) ,    I&#039;ve been blogging more actively and courageously showing what I&#039;ve got to the world :)</description>
