I don’t really know what to write today. I just wrote my post on my, more personal, Dutch blog, but that’s not to be repeated here. And the typhoon stuff I wrote about yesterday. Today was more about ‘help’ and I think I started thinking about that when reading today’s post of Alden Tan: strongest headline. And I don’t remember how I ended up in his site and subscribing to his posts at the very beginning of the project Inspiration for Success. But I do remember and still admire his writing style. And yes, ‘like’ would not really be the appropriate word for his blog, for how he phrases things. But his blog is unique and stands out. And mostly he just writes from his heart and just tells things how they are, unlike all those other self help type blogs that write about all the things you ‘should’ do to be happy. And those people who just write their e-mails so good from a marketing point of view that you just feel an urge to click on them. And from the beginning of this site I still follow quite some. But I noticed they’re basically all the same and they keep you addicted to all this self help and ‘the secret’ and ‘law of attraction stuff’.
But Alden doesn’t, although he had his periods where the money and the marketing got to him. But he went back to being himself and just writing what he thinks is right. And that’s why I admire him.
