Months of Blogging – Interesting Quotes [May-July, 2013]

This is an initiative geared towards encouraging blogging and writing down your thoughts for others to read, and for your own benefit.

I will be listing down a few interesting quotes. Write down anything you can think and relate to the quote, in a period of 15 mins. Make judicious use of your time and write down anything you can think of. You can also write a quote that you hold dear to your heart and blog about it. The article should contain at least 250 words and a few examples, either from personal exp (pref) or worldviews. I would especially like older users to participate in this, and include some experiences from their own lives for us younger users to learn from. After writing your article, include a link to the blog (pref)/FB post here.

No restrictions, no rules other than the recommendations stated above. I hope if you decide not to write, you’ll read through the links and review the written word 🙂
