Today I listened to a talk given by NEIL PASRICHA on TED.COM
(see reference to website in right column,
under English 101, TOOLS ...
short listening with video).
He is a blogger and he created this blog-site:
1000 Awesome Things.
Here is a short presentation of this blog
for you to read. My source is Wikipedia.
1000 Awesome Things is a regularly updated and winning blog written by Neil Pasricha, that posts one awesome thing in life each weekday. The site was launched on June 20, 2008 with #1000 and is counting down until it hits #1. The topics covered on the blog are varied, and are of such a wide range that you'll find something YOU LIKE!
An awesome thing is posted every weekday and thus #1 will be posted on April 20, 2012. The website has a live stats counter on it and has approximately 17 million hits.
I encourage you to take the time,
maybe just once a week in the beginning,
to read some of the topics.
You can choose a key word called a TAG.
You will really get a sense of various
and thematic vocabulary.
I also like these posts because
they are POSITIVE reading.
They make you aware
of the pleasureable things in life,
little everyday joys
that we tend to overlook!!
So, if you take the time today,
CLICK on the title AWESOME !!!
And listen to NEIL PASRICHA and
how he came to create his BLOG.
