A Wonderful Dream Can Inspire You More Than Anything

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 06:59:00 +0000

Just five days ago, I had a dream that has stayed with me ever since. It was simple-yet powerful. I saw myself living a happy life, peacefully riding a rickshaw through my city with a joyful heart.

It may sound ordinary, but the feeling was extraordinary. Even after waking up, I felt it wasn’t a dream-it felt real. There was no stress, no sadness, no pressure. Just calm, lightness, and contentment.

After Waking Up

It took me a few moments to realize I had been dreaming. But the effect was lasting. That simple dream inspired me more than any motivational video I’ve watched in the past ten years.

Of course, my real-life struggles haven’t disappeared. I’m still going through a difficult phase. But the dream did something unexpected, it shifted something inside me. It gave me a new sense of peace and purpose.

A Simple Realization

In the dream, I wasn’t doing anything grand. Just traveling, enjoying the moment. Yet I was deeply happy. That simplicity made me realize what had been missing from my life.

We often forget that ordinary moments can bring extraordinary joy. We chase big dreams, but overlook the quiet happiness already around us. This dream helped me rediscover that truth.

The Cost of Chasing Success

There’s nothing wrong with ambition. But constant striving can take a toll. We keep chasing “more”-more success, more recognition-without pausing to enjoy what we’ve already achieved.

In this endless race, we grow tired, lose balance, and sometimes, forget how to be happy. The dream reminded me: success is meaningless without peace of mind.

A Shift in Mindset

I’m not saying I’ll stop working hard. In fact, I want to work even harder-but with a calm heart. I’ve stopped tying my happiness to outcomes. I’ll give my best each day and let the results take care of themselves.

When I’m tired or overwhelmed, I think about that dream. It brings me back to a place of peace. It may have been a dream, but the feeling was real-and I’ve chosen to carry it with me.

Slow and Steady

I used to value speed and big goals. Now, I’m learning to slow down and celebrate small wins. I remind myself every day: I am happy. I have the skills, the knowledge-what I needed was balance.

For too long, I was caught up in building big things. Now, I’m focused on building myself.

In Conclusion

I’m happy to be writing in this blog again. I no longer feel pressure to write long posts. Even 200 words a day is enough-if it brings joy.

And strangely enough, that dream still brings me peace. Whenever I recall it, something soft and quiet settles in my heart. Maybe that’s the message I needed all along.

How to Inspire Yourself?

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 06:05:00 +0000

When we think of inspiration, we usually imagine either inspiring others or being inspired by them. Very few people realize that we can inspire ourselves. As a result, we often depend on external sources or people to find motivation. While this is natural, it can complicate life-especially when we need inspiration the most but can’t find it. That’s why learning to inspire yourself is a vital life skill.

Easy to Inspire Others

As I mentioned earlier, inspiring others is relatively easy. If you can show someone that you genuinely care about them, they feel emotionally touched and happy. That emotional connection often leads to motivation-they feel encouraged and want to give their best.
There’s a deep link between emotional connection and inspiration. When we inspire someone emotionally, they respond with passion and effort. But when it comes to ourselves, it’s a different story.

Very Difficult to Inspire Myself

I have inspired hundreds of people in my life, especially through platforms like Facebook. I’ve built some of the largest groups in my country, and thousands of people joined. Yet, when it comes to inspiring myself, I often struggle-and fail.
Now, I realize that this is a serious problem. If I can solve it, it would be a major breakthrough. I'm good at inspiring others, but from now on, I must learn to inspire myself.

Look After Your Physical and Mental Well-Being

One key reason I fail to inspire myself is neglecting my physical and mental health. Inspiration isn’t just a skill-it’s also a strength. And like any strength, it depends on your well-being.
When I inspire someone else, they feel energized and try to change. But when I try to inspire myself, I forget that I first need strength-both physical and mental-to take action. Without good health, even the best inspiration won’t lead to meaningful effort.

Make a Plan, Have a Target

Before you try to inspire yourself, set a clear goal. For instance, wanting to be a writer is a great ambition, but it’s vague. You need to go further-do you want to be an online writer, a novelist, or a journalist?
Once your goal is specific, you can create a practical plan. That structure will give your inspiration direction, and you’ll be more likely to succeed. Sadly, many of us skip this step.

Think About the Result

Another powerful way to inspire yourself is to think deeply about the result. What will happen if you achieve your goal? For example, if I become a successful writer, thousands of people will read my work every day. That’s something worth striving for.
Thinking about the result can boost your motivation. But it’s not enough. To get there, you must stay focused, avoid distractions, and work consistently.

It Takes Time

Here’s a reality check: inspiration alone isn’t enough. You have to work hard-and even then, results take time. Many people mistakenly think that inspiration is a shortcut to success. When they don’t see results quickly, they become frustrated and give up.
That’s the biggest obstacle to success. So remind yourself that growth is slow, but consistent effort leads to lasting change.

Make a Hobby

Recently, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of hobbies. Spending 30 minutes to 1 hour a day on a hobby can refresh your mind and give you joy. Some people love reading, and that habit improves their thinking and writing skills.
A hobby can also become a hidden strength. So now I’m thinking about making “inspiring myself” a hobby-something I do every day, just like reading or writing.

Inspiring Myself as a Hobby

It might sound foolish or childish, but I’m serious. I want to turn inspiring myself into a daily habit-a personal ritual. Every day, I’ll spend 30 minutes to 1 hour figuring out how to motivate myself.
Maybe nothing will change at first. But after one month, I believe this small habit will turn into a powerful skill. And that would be life-changing.

Celebrate Small Wins

I feel good after writing this blog post. I already sense a change in my mindset. I’m now more focused on self-improvement, and I want to turn that into something I enjoy.
Interestingly, it only took me 30 minutes to write this. That shows I’ve become faster-and I believe this post is better than the ones I wrote over the past two days. I’ll celebrate this small win and use it as fuel to keep going.

Finally

From today, I’m starting a new journey: to inspire myself. I’ll treat it as a serious hobby and invest at least 30 minutes every day in it. I’ll explore different strategies and methods to keep myself motivated.
Because if I can inspire myself, I can achieve anything.

I Wish to Be a Blogger Again

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 17:28:00 +0000

Today, on 1 July 2025, I want to start writing regularly on this blog again. I know I cannot write every single day, but I can certainly manage one post a week. It really doesn’t matter whether others read my posts or not-when I started blogging, I began from scratch.

Earlier today, I was thinking that I need a hobby-something I truly enjoy. I decided that I would dedicate one hour every day to this hobby. And what better hobby than blogging? I’ve enjoyed it for many years. I started blogging in January 2006, and in just six months, it will be 20 years.

Now, I feel ready to be a blogger again. This time, I want to treat it purely as a hobby-something I do for fun and personal fulfillment. This post marks the beginning of that journey, and it also outlines my future plans as a blogger.

First and foremost, since I’m treating blogging as a hobby, I won’t worry about earning money or attracting visitors. What matters most is that I spend one hour each day just for blogging. This might include writing, reading about blogging, or watching videos related to it.

My main goal is consistency-dedicating one hour daily. I won’t aim to publish a post every day. Instead, my realistic target is to write one or two quality posts per week. Initially, I’ll focus on building a habit and developing regularity.

If I aim to publish one post per week, each around 2000–3000 words, I can break it down into smaller writing sessions. Writing 300–400 words per day would be enough. That would take around 20–30 minutes, and I could spend another 30 minutes on planning and reading.

Once the post is complete, I’ll publish it and let other bloggers know about it-just like I used to do back in 2009. I now regret not taking it more seriously at that time. Back then, I was a full-time professional blogger and had a team. Some of my blogs ranked very well on Google. Often, within just a minute or two of publishing, my posts would be indexed by Google.

Of course, things are different now. Google no longer supports small independent blogs like it once did. But as I’ve said, I’m not blogging for traffic, money, or rankings-this is a personal pursuit. I’ll focus on the process, not the outcome. Quality will come naturally over time if I remain consistent.

If it’s truly a hobby, then I need to be passionate about it and enjoy it. Interestingly, I’m writing this post using speech recognition software, and I’ve written over 500 words in just 15 minutes.

What matters most is regularity. I plan to publish one post per week but work on it every day. I cannot go back and change the past, but I can learn from it and use my experience to do something meaningful now. I believe I can be successful this time.

I know this journey will take time, but if I work consistently-just one hour a day-I'll see great results after 100 days. Since 26 March 2025, I’ve taken writing seriously. Now, writing 1000 words a day feels natural.

Today, I already wrote an article about the e-commerce industry in Bangladesh (around 950 words) to submit to a local magazine. Now I’m writing this blog post, which I expect will also be around 1000 words.

It brings me so much joy and satisfaction to know that I’ve started again-seriously-on 1 July 2025. Today, I ignored distractions. I didn’t waste time on Facebook, entertainment, or the news. I simply focused on writing. That’s how I managed to write 2000 words in English in a single day.

Now, my dream is to become a blogger again. In the past, I mostly wrote about the business of salvation. At this point, I’m not sure which topic I should focus on. For now, I’ll write about whatever comes to mind. Once I build the habit, I’ll be able to narrow it down to a niche. Right now, the best strategy is to just keep writing.

It took me only 22 minutes to write 750 words, and I think this post turned out well. If I had written like this in 2006 or 2007, it would have gained a lot of attention.

Anyway, I’m simply happy that I’ve restarted my writing journey from 1 July 2025. This time, I will not give up. I’ll give my best every day. I truly hope to become successful as both a writer and a blogger.

Thank you all for reading this post.

Back After 54 Days

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:07:00 +0000

I have come back to this blog after 54 days. The last post that I had was on April 13, 2025, and today is June 5 of the same year.

3 months ago I decided that I promised myself that I will never become irregular on this blog again. However, this time I do not regret my absence as I did something very valuable.

You see, for the last 54 days, I was extremely busy writing on a Medium website. I have written 54 posts on 54 days and also more than 2300.

Most of the comments were long and meaningful, and that is why I have learned a lot. Now it does not take a lot of time to write a post for this blog, and this is my main important.

I am now Committed

I'm now committed to my writing and my career. For the last 10 years, I've tried a lot for building platforms on Facebook and I dedicated my life for others.

I became active on Medium because I wanted to transform myself from a platform maker to a solo professional. This transformation has happened, and I am extremely happy for it.

New Habit

I have really developed a writing habit, and now it does not matter for me to write 2,000 words today. I don't need to write in this block every day, but even if I write just one post a week, I'll be happy and that will be enough.

The best thing that has happened is that I have become almost totally free from my addiction of social media, and most particularly Facebook.

From today, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on Medium. In fact, I'm going to write only a few comments.

Free Time

As a result, I have not a lot of free time to write, and my speed has improved significantly. I first decided that I can become a real writer.

Here I do not need to write a long post, I will just write from my heart and even if no one reads that is not a problem.

Now I am hopeful that I will become a successful writer, and many people will read my writings in this blog. So, I believe in it because I am not totally committed for myself.

Personal Brand

I spent 10 years for developing brands for organizations, associations, companies, Facebook groups, etc. Now it is time for me to develop my personal brand, and I'm totally committed to it.

I know that nothing will change or improve in this short term, but I am not concerned about it at all. I'm hopeful that within six-seven months, or within this year, my personal branding will reach a level where whatever I write will at least be read by one or two thousand people.

At first, I am becoming a writer and committed to writing. I want to be a professional blogger and blog about some topics.

I can write Now Regularly

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 19:39:00 +0000

For the last 19 days, I've been practicing writing thousands of words. Most of the days I wrote at least 10,000 words, but I didn't publish any of the majority portion. The main reason is that it was just practice, and I was probably repeating the same things over and over again. It was garbage, nonsense, and not worth publishing - even on a personal blog.

I know that there is no benefit in from such a practice but there is a huge and significant change. The significant change that has taken place is that now I can write and I am writing posts regularly. This has made such a remarkable difference in my heart because now I feel that I will become a writer very soon.

I am now on the midst of a transformational journey from a platform maker to a solo professional. It has been really very tough journey for me but because of practicing so much in the last 19 days now I feel that I am very near to becoming a professional writer.

I just need to practice every day. I have to write every day. If I can write every day, then quality will improve. From tomorrow, I'm not going to practice writing 10,000 words. I'm going to focus on writing quality content or quality posts in my blogs.

I have realized that when I write about personal journeys or personal opinions in a blog post, then I write very well. I know that there are many readers of such posts, but I have to find them, or in other words, they have to find me.

This is now the only challenge because I know that the things that I am writing is not that bad. Some people will enjoy reading them and some people will really be benefited from it because I know from my own experience or from my own observation that millions of people are suffering the way I have experienced in the last few years.

I really wish that a few thousands of them would find my writings, but if it was in the past then it would have been very easy. Now I am in a very serious, challenging situation. I have to summon all my mental strength and my courage and become a serious and professional writer. I have to spend all my hours, even if I am sick, I will try to become a writer. I try to write consistently and continuously every day.

It's alright if my writing isn't up to the mark. But I know deep in my heart that millions of people would benefit if they read my blog posts. This personal conviction is very important because right now I feel that there will be a time when thousands of people will read this post because they will try to understand the journey I had, the challenges I faced. It can help some of them to have mental courage during tough times.

To be honest, suddenly I feel motivated because I have the feeling that my post in future would bring a lot of mental strength to many readers from across the world. The posts are written in English language. They are depicting my challenging journey to become a writer at this old age.

This motivation, this inspiration, and encouragement will become a very big asset for me. I feel now that if I keep on trying, then soon I will become successful. Thousands of people will read my post every day. I'm no longer a platform creator, but I am now a writer and a solo professional.

I like to imagine now that maybe after one year, 10 or 20,000 people are reading this post. Many of them are suffering and they are finding it difficult to move forward in life. Maybe some of them are sick, maybe some of them are mentally depressed. But I know that my writing will help them. So I feel now excited, I feel delighted that yes I'm doing something that can bring some benefit for many people in future.

As I stated earlier, I have realized I am very good at writing personal-type posts on blogs. So I won't stop writing such posts because I know that at some point, they will bring comfort to thousands of people. I must be optimistic because in the past, I've noticed that thousands of people have read my posts on Facebook.

I am very good at encouraging people, and I have noticed it on Facebook. Now I want to experience the same kind of success in blogging.

If you are reading this post, I want to state that you are really not alone in your suffering. There are millions of people who are even in worse conditions than you. Just try to have some mental peace and mental strength. This can really help you a lot to change your life.

I am writing this personal post only because now I am going through a tough career in my life and struggling to change myself and to transform myself to become a solo professional. That is why almost every day I am writing a personal post or a post depicting my personal journey in life.

I'm trying to make it long and often repeating maybe the same idea over and again. It is happening because I just want to start writing again.

I will really work hard from now on. I want to become successful, first of all for myself. But at the same time I want to become successful so that some of you would be motivated from reading this post. This is solely a personal journey, a tale of struggle and failure but after that life will become much better for me. I am really hopeful. I pray to God every day, and I am trying my best now.

If you really like this post, I would request you to write a comment and share your own story.

Why should we be optimistic in Life?

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 06:57:00 +0000

Can you imagine being in a condition when everything is against you in life?

For the last 14 years I have mainly written about my struggle in life and with my health I struggled a lot. Actually, I did not write about most of the things that I suffered. I just merely said that I have to keep on trying, I must keep on going etc. I am happy that I did it in this blog.

I tried to console myself. I tried to encourage myself and that is a very big encouragement for me. Today, I am going to talk about the importance of optimism in life. Why should you be optimistic?

I have struggled a lot

I have struggled a lot in my life - perhaps much more than any average person. Still, I have achieved a lot of success. I have achieved a fairy-tale type of success in life that hardly few people can imagine. On the other hand, I had also experienced many failures and depressions and distractions. Now I am passing a rough time, but on the other hand, I am hopeful. I am hopeful because I know that after this stage, life will become much better.

Hope can help you

This sense of optimism is a great blessing in life. I know it very well. It is very difficult to keep going during the tough times. However, I have realized that if I can do it, then after that life can become much better. I can have a lot of success and happiness both at the same time. I just need to keep on trying with my head high and I must have hope in my heart.

Ups and Downs

Life has its ups and downs, and more than most people I know it very well. I have experienced it a lot. I have suffered many challenging times but each time I came back stronger. I had a better life. Now it is my time to just keep on trying. This time the challenge is very straightforward - to become a writer. More than that, my challenge is that from a platform maker I am trying to become a solo professional.

Solo Professional

By solo professional, I mean that I will just try to focus on my own life and my own career. I just need to work for myself. I want my success. And this was supposed to be very easy, as everyone enjoys working for their own success. However, for me it is very difficult because I changed my course of life ten years ago. I tried to work for others' benefits and I became successful, but now I want to change it. I want to totally focus on myself.

100 Day Journey

I believe in the idea that if you try for something for 100 days seriously, then you will notice significant improvement and even some modest amount of success. I have experienced it many times in life. Now I am going to try for it. More than that, if I can keep on trying for one year, then I will have fairytale kind of success.

Not only do I believe it, I have experienced in my own life many times. So this time I am going to try my best. It is only the tenth day of my hundred-day journey, and I have to just focus on myself. If I can do it, then within hundred days I will see significant improvement.

Small Steps

Right now I'm just only trying to practice writing every day. Every day I'm typing aimlessly, but a lot. For example, for the last 16 days I have been continuously typing 10,000 words. Today is the 17th day and I feel that today I can do my work better. It is a significant improvement. From tomorrow most probably I will start writing much better and more regularly.

At first, you see, there is no benefit for just simply typing aimlessly; it does not make any sense, but wasting days after days the whole day. Now I feel that I have got the ability to type in this blog at least which I could not do for many years.

After One Year

I have decided that I will keep on trying for my own life and for my own work. I want to be a writer and I will try my best this one year. I know that now hardly anyone will read this post and even if they read it really doesn't matter to them. However, I am hopeful that after one year I will get a decent amount of success then I will share this post and I will come back here. I am hopeful that thousands of people will read this post regularly. It is a part of my journey. It is a part of my challenging journey. I am hopeful that life will be much better after one year of trying.

I can write Now

Yes, I can write now, even if it's not up to the mark at all. Still, I can write. I will continue writing from now on. I am hopeful that I can achieve real success this time for myself. Whatever I have achieved in the last ten years was mostly for the platform or for others. Now it is my time to achieve something for myself. Really trying this time.

Final Words

I realized that I must never lose hope. Instead, I must focus on my own life. I wanted to be a writer, and this time I am trying very seriously. I must have the courage and also I must have the optimism in my heart. This can change many things. I have realized the main problem at last. I must have hope and try for more one year.

I've seen it many times that if I try for something for one year, very little success happens. This time, I'm going to try for myself totally, and I am hopeful that life will be much better.

What about you? How did you manage to keep on going during tough time?

Amazing Achievement

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 11:15:00 +0000

I have already written 4,000 words today and that is amazing because I there are still nearly seven hours left of the day and in the next seven hours I can easily write another three or four thousand words but today I want to make it different and I want to improve my writing style you see I want to write a list write about a list first I want to make a list and I have already found the title the title is top now the title is 10 popular sports in the world and I'm going to write from 200 to 100 to 200 words for each item and it will be like 1,000 to 2,000 words so if I can do it in a single day it is a huge game changer for me and I want to finish it within maximum two hours so within two hours I want to write 1,000 to 2,000 words but this time it is a blog content and I'm very happy I am hopeful that I will be able to do it and it is just the beginning for me I just need to practice a lot

The Process is working

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 11:12:00 +0000

yes I talked a lot in the last few days about trusting the process and now I can see that the process is bringing benefit it is working effectively and helping me to become a better writer I know that if I just start speaking in Bangla or writing in Bangla it will be even better but that is not a problem because the challenge is that I have tried in English and the more I practice the better I will become this is what the process is about I do not need to think of speed but I just need to think of keeping on going because a bit by bit I am improving and I can easily see that today it's not totally nonsense talking what I'm doing is that I'm speaking I'm writing much better compared to yesterday so I have to trust the process and remind myself that I'm improving I can feel the improvement I can I can feel that I am very near to start writing professional content it will not take a lot of time and I will shine in this field hopefully.

You have to practice every day

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 11:03:00 +0000

Today I am again practicing writing and I feel that these days are very important because I am trying to practice from getting up from sleep to going to sleep at night. Sometimes, it is frustrating because I'm just practicing and I'm yet to see any result.

I am yet to start writing professional content or I am yet to become a professional blogger. The only thing that I have realized is that I have to keep on practicing and focus on this. I have to practice every day.

I must not miss a single day. Now I'm practicing writing 200-word long blog post. Of course already I have written today two long posts and each of them contain 1000 words. Now I cannot sustain the pace and but what I have decided is that I'm going to start writing 200 word long posts.

I have to practice it and even if it is nonsense, not useful content, it doesn't matter. Main matter is that I'm practicing and I'm trying to write many words and sentences. My target is that now I will write at least 10 such short posts of 200 word long and if I can do it then it will be a great improvement because I could not imagine that I can do it today.

The final post of today

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 17:01:00 +0000

This is going to be the 50th post of today and as a result I have been able to write more than 10,000 words in English language. Yes most of them or all of them was were totally garbage nonsense but I have got a transformation and I'm very happy that this transformation has happened in me.

I've got rid of all the addiction interest of social media and I have decided to start taking English literature again seriously very seriously. I want to become a professional writer. I want to become a serious type of writer.

I want to write both nonfiction and fiction and my journey starts. I'm really happy that I have I'm now totally changed man because what I understand is that because of my spending the day with so many words now I feel that I can really spend all of my time in a very useful way. For example, I'm going to read English novels again the classic novels maybe I will start with George Orwell or I will start writing the poems of William Wordsworth and I will read some essays so that is that is a great new beginning for me.

I'm really very happy and I will take it seriously. Those of you who are reading it except my sincere thanks and I'm really happy and I'm hopeful that someday thousands of people will read this post.

A Great Blessing

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:59:00 +0000

Today has been a great blessing for me as I am almost done writing 10,000 words but more than that I had to think the whole day. I did not have any time or interest about watching Facebook videos or YouTube videos or posts from others in Facebook.

Instead I thought about the things that I used to like in my life. Instead of watching nonsense Facebook or YouTube funny videos I will start watching the videos of classic novels and dramas that I studied during my university life. So you see that if I can do it then I'll be able to write about them and I really wanted to do it.

I will again study English literature books and at this time I will study with seriousness and I want to speak about the novels and dramas in different universities in my country or in YouTube for people all around the world. So I can start doing it and I know that many people want to have a different perspective and I'm really skilled in presenting them in a very simple language. I'm very happy for it.

George Orwell

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:58:00 +0000

I was a very big fan of George Orwell in my university days.

I liked his essays, I liked some of his novels. So again I can start and use them for my personal, in my personal life. I hope that it would be useful for me and I want to write about them.

For example, his short story or essay Shooting an Elephant was a good one and it influenced my life a lot. Then there was a text about politics and English language and there he talked about writing in simple language. I got so much influenced and impressed that all my life or for the last 32 years I have been following this like a maxim that I must write in a very simple language so that everyone can understand.

Some people often criticize me because my writing style is childish. I don't use difficult words so I can but I think that it is not a bad thing because I can present almost every difficult ideas even very complex ideas in a very easy language. That is my strength.

Why do I want to study English literature again?

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:56:00 +0000

I want to study English literature because I enjoyed it and it helped me with with becoming a skilled person in imagination. I can improve my imaginative power and it also helped me to have idealistic feeling. Now I do not need to become an idealistic person but I should have the mental confidence and satisfaction because I have changed my style and I want to become successful in my personal capacity in my personal life which I never wanted.

I always wanted to try for others and I got that idea or that motivation even from English literature. So now I want to see if I can use the lessons of English literature for my own personal benefit, for my own personal success. One thing that I can do or one text that I can think of is George Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying.

There the hero tried, rebelled against society and wanted to make a living by becoming a poem but he failed miserably and he came back to living a normal life.

Studying English literature again

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:53:00 +0000

I got the feeling that now I have a lot of free time and I can study English literature. The syllabus that I studied in my university life, I can again read all the books and even I can read some text of master's level.

You see I did not do my master's on English literature but I studied English language teaching and now I regret not because of studying English language teaching but because I did not read up textbooks of English English literature in the master's syllabus. So today I felt that yes I can start reading again even if I just read only 10 pages every day that is more than enough. I have, I can buy some books and start reading or they are available in internet.

I can hear the audio books that can be done also or I can read from internet. This is not a problem. The main thing is that I have to focus my mind or this and this is a very good practice because English literature contains the best example of writing in this language.

So the more I read I will become a better writer. It is a natural matter and I'm going to start it.

Robert Browning

Another poet that I like a lot is Robert Browning. He was a Victorian poet and his wife E.B. Browning or Elizabeth Barrett Browning was equally a successful and famous poet of that age. I like a few poems of Robert Browning and I want to read them again and I want to write about the poems here in this blog.

So, I hope that you will enjoy reading them. Actually, I feel so great that I'm back to my basics. I'm back to my life and I used to write about the... I used to read the poems and now at this age, again, I have got the interest to think about and also write about the poems that I love and I'm going to start from tomorrow because this is what I really like and I really feel that this has become a very big blessing for me that I could stop thinking about platform and I'm just focusing on my own life, my own interest and what I like or dislike.

I really could not imagine that I could do it at this age but it is happening.

My favorite poems

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:35:00 +0000

Now, I was thinking about the poems that I used to like a lot. I was a very big fan of not William Shakespeare but of William Wordsworth and his preface to the lyrical ballads.

I learned a lot from it and I tried to create everything for ordinary people and that is why it became so successful and I'm very happy that I followed William Wordsworth. Now, it is time that I try to learn from him and try to use his poems or the lessons from his poems for my own personal success. So, I have to read again and I have to analyze them and I will focus on using them or learning the lessons and use them in my own life.

I know that I can do it so I hope I will start writing seriously and there is another poet that I like a lot and I'm going to talk about it in the post. So, for the time being, it's all William Wordsworth and I hope that I'll be able to write many posts about him.

Getting back my own life.

Today I was thinking about the things that I have, I like, the movies that I like, the novels that I like, the poems that I read many times in university life. I got detached from them for many years because I tried to become a platform creator, a leader for many people. I also became totally detached because I spent all my hours for taking a Facebook group or a number of Facebook groups towards 100,000 members, 1 million members or even 3 million members.

All of the Facebook groups started from zero and then I took them to more than million members. So, I just want to forget all these things which I have already forgotten the platform matter and now what I want to do is that I want to just do everything for my own success. I want to go back to the novels, poems, dramas, movies that I liked and I want to write about them, I want to talk about them.

So, and I know that if I can do it many people will read them. It's not only about my story but about a novel that millions of people know about, about the poems of William Shakespeare that not only millions, perhaps at least 1 billion people know about Shakespeare. So, I want to go that way.

A big fan of classic books

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:29:00 +0000

I'm a big fan of classic novels and I have read at least 100 classic novels. I always used to say that I never had got the opportunity to have a mentor and I learned many lessons from the classic novels.

So, they were like mentors to me. If I had learned just one thing from each book then I have learned 100 useful lessons from the classic novels and stories and that has helped me a lot in my life.

I studied English literature and most of the text books that I read became classic. So, I really wish to keep reading classic books continuously. Now I have much more free time because I do not care about others, I just focus on my own life.

So, I can read classic novels again and learn more lessons. I'm hopeful that I can do it from now as I stated just now that I have got a lot of free time and I can also watch some of the classic movies again.

Podcast is also near

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:25:00 +0000

I was always fan of radio and I like the audio format more than the video.

It is because I feel comfortable speaking in audio where people cannot watch my face but they can hear my voice. So, a podcast is something that is related to the audio format and I really liked it. I tried to make it popular in Bangladesh in 2018 but it was too soon and I tried for others to practice, encourage, motivated and add in some facilities in my Facebook group so that they feel comfortable with it and for in two months some members they uploaded five to ten thousand posts about podcast and it was a great memory for me, a great experience.

Now I want to take podcast seriously and both in Bangla and English language. I hope that I can take it, I can do it and it is not so difficult. I will start practicing and it's like spending some time every day about podcast and the more I practice the better I will become.

So, YouTube and podcast both are related to speaking but in YouTube video I have to speak in front of a camera, in podcast I can speak behind the camera or I do not need a camera.

YouTube video is not so far

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:23:00 +0000

I am hopeful that the way I have been spending time and dedicating my energy for writing YouTube video is not a very far thing for me. I can upload video in two languages, in my mother tongue Bangla and also in English language. I can speak English fluently that is not a problem because I started English literature and English language teaching in my university days.

So, it is totally okay and I feel that I am very near to start uploading video in YouTube. Becoming successful is a different matter because I cannot predict my videos will become popular or not. In the first few months I have to struggle maybe for one year I will have to struggle a lot but hopefully someday it will become useful, it will become popular and some people find it useful and they will have something to discuss about.

I know that for YouTube video I need to invest some money on buying audio equipment and a quality webcam or camera but it's not a problem. First I need to start, I need to practice and even there is studio that I know and I can go there and just record it. It's not a big deal.

The main matter is that I have to start practicing.

New Doors are Opening

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:22:00 +0000

In the past I could write very good post and many people liked it. I got lost, I got lost of my track but now I have again come back to writing. So let us hope for the New doors are opening.

Yes, I feel that there is a new door opening for me. Now I can think of making strategies about writing quality article. I can think about practicing with many things and I am very happy that I will do, I will start writing seriously from tomorrow and I am also hopeful that my writing will become successful and will create an impact in the minds of many people in the coming days.

I am also hoping to practice one hour and dedicate it for YouTube video that for one hour I will just think of YouTube video, watch YouTube video and the format that I like most is TED talk. I wish that I can start talking in that format. What I will do, what I have to do is that I have to think myself as a TED talk speaker and select a topic and practice for speaking about it for 10 minutes and for this I can dedicate one hour for me.

I do not need to upload the video in YouTube now but I will practice every day and I will totally allocate one hour of my time for this practice of YouTube. So, really I feel very happy that my life has changed in just 10 days.

The mind game that I have to win.

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:21:00 +0000

Yes, today or for the last 10 days I understood that it is really a mind game. Every day I used to practice typing and a total 100% of them were garbage, nonsense, whatever you want to call it you can call. But now I feel that yes, I have done enough practice and in the last 10 days maybe I have practiced typing for around 100,000 words in English language mostly.

So now I can start writing quality articles and soon I will achieve a lot of success. What is the definition of success? The definition of success is that people will come and read my post, some of them will like it, some of them will talk about it, they will share the post. So this is the definition of success for me.

I want to become successful in this way. I want to make an impact in the heart of some people, in the life of some people with my writing. This is something I always wanted to do and now I feel that I am very near to it because I can write now.

If you can dream then you can achieve

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:10:00 +0000

Yes now I feel it because for many years I lost the ability to do anything for myself and as I have stated it many times today that I wanted to be a writer but today I noticed that I could not write at all and what I need to do is that I have to start writing again and I could do it today. I could write many posts and I could dream that I could have a dream that I would type like around 4,000 words at first and then now I am I have finished 7,000 words and I'm heading towards 10,000 words of writing in a single day.

So this is the most important thing. I had the dream and I tried for it. So I could not imagine that I would be able to type so many words in a single day but it is already happening.

So the important lesson that I have learned today is that if you can dream then you can try for it and it may come true. I do not need more than 10,000 words. I am very happy and as a result I feel confident that from tomorrow I can start writing quality article.

Another milestone

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 14:16:00 +0000

This is most probably the 35th post and it means that I have already typed 7000 words or even more. I'm very happy to achieve this milestone and after that I'm going to continue writing because I feel that I have totally come near to my dream now.

Now I can think of my own benefit only, my own success and my own career. I want to become a solo professional and for this I'm going to try my best. Yes, my health is not so good but because I have given up hope of trying for any platform or building a new platform or leading the old platform etc.

I just feel that now it is time for me to focus on myself and I feel very light in my heart because I don't have any pressure for anything. It is just the battle. Now the challenge is only with me and I'm only one person and I know that person.

So it is very easy for me.

I have done it in the past

noreply@blogger.com (Razib Ahmed) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 14:12:00 +0000

Yes now I feel confident because I was remembering my achievements in the last few years about helping others. As I have stated many times today that it was a very big change in me in the last few days from being a platform maker to becoming a solo professional. Now I feel that I can easily achieve it because now I don't want to become a platform anymore.

I have given up totally on the idea because I have done enough and in the end it becomes a lot of pressure for me to sustain it and many people they do not like me.

They are against me and maybe I have some problems and mistakes because it has happened so many times and of course many people like me but they do not come forward when there is a problem and I have to suffer a lot. But now I am going to focus on my life and fortunately I have got the feeling that yes I have at last got it. I can now focus totally on myself which I could not and now I have stopped thinking about others.

I've stopped thinking about platform or building one or leading other people. This is such a great blessing for me and I'm going to start trying from today because this is what I want and this has happened to me. I'm very happy because I have got this idea, I've got this feeling that I must try for myself and myself only.

This is a huge change in me, this is a huge improvement for me and now I will move forward. Hopefully I'll achieve a lot of success
