I’m getting older. It was my second birthday in this year. As the human, I celebrated my 26th birthday last August. As the blogger, I celebrated my birthday again last September.
I started blogging 2 years ago. My first post is published on the 28th September 2006. It was a desperate moment and the blog was [...]

When should you quit? And when should you stick?
