A decision to do the right thing....

A very good friend of mine recently told me to "Remember to update your website and Linked-in page! Do some careful project planning now and don't go shopping for a new car!". I noted this advise and I have made a decision to constantly update my blog. I have been a trainer of Web 2.0 technologies for a while now and I have helped many to create blogs especially for academic purposes. I want to confess of my lack of consistency in doing this yet I understand perfectly the benefits of some of these technologies.

After a critical self evaluation, I want to note below some of the reasons that have made me to struggle to blog and to let the whole world know some of the good things that I am involved in:

1. Self justification- "I have no time": Of late my life seems to be very busy. I am struggling to complete my assignments and projects. I turn away for a few days from a specific project then am back around wondering WCHGW - What could have gone wrong? This could be an indicator of my intrinsic fear of delegation. I struggle not to peep on my teams back to just find out how they are coping on their projects even when we have clearly defined appropriate outputs and guidelines. I need to change this as I believe this is one of the reasons I have been unable to keep a consistent blog.
2. Self justification - "Priorities": I need help here as I have to set alot of my priorities right. I wonder at the back of the mind if this is a priority among the lists of my daily priorities? Who in the world will care about another "blog" in the global blogsphere. What unique contributions can I bring to this huge word of collective thoughts and "rants". For someone like me, who does not have a very grand ground breaking vision on how to change the world ....I always wonder whether blogging my small "issues" will be of any significance.

In my contemplations, I came across this philosopy and it explained some of the things I have been grappling with of late:

Note the various definitions of the moralities. I thought this applies very well to alot of things that we do. From Governance ("Read Democracy"), to online social interactions via twitter, facebook etc, advertising campaigns and product promotion etc. The age of individualised and personalised opinions or ideas is long gone. You have to conform and this is because the "herd" has said so. AND THAT IS THE BOTTOMLINE...
