Once a little girl asked me while I was trying to give her my ‘wisdom’ about life, she said; What happen to the knowledge we have, when we die?
It triggered so many thoughts, and for seconds I was speechless. I come to realize that, yes I was accumulating all these knowledge and experiences throughout my life but I never thought about it; what I am going to do with my fortune! (probably knowledge, and experience are the only things can be counted as a fortune)
After the crush effect I had from that simple!? question, I could breathe and said back; Knowledge is not yours or anyone’s. It is something you gather in the walk of life and it is better if you can share before you die. Because knowledge is one of the most rare things, like love, that does not reduce as you share it but the contrary.
She seemed like more relax after my answer, in spite of this I was crushing the walls of my mind. Yes I was kind of happy with the answer I gave but did I really practice it? If yes , was it enough? I had to find a way to share , everything I know. But wait! Even people themselves are not aware what they really know! That seemed not possible though, but
it was worth to give a try.
Decision was made few days later. I would write a book, book of my life. Why the hell people would pay attention to some else’s life? What was so remarkable in my life?! Yes nothing was story worth, so idea had expired pretty quickly. Thinking process continued until recent times and finally I decided , if I don’t have a life to make story than I will live one! . I really , intentionally would live a life that will make story for someone to read! Would it be the ‘why’ of my life?
I know it sounds extremely egoist, but rather than feeding my ego, I realised that is the only way to be able to share your knowledge and thoughts. It is not because I will not share without making my life remarkable, but the other people will pay little or no attention on what you are saying without your bold actions referring them those words are worthwhile to listen. There is a nice quote, says; “Your actions are so loud, I cannot hear what you are telling”
I really feel to share what I am discovering in my life, this is not the only way but it is a proper way to live remarkably, to do good things. It is also make you live your life backwards. All you should do is decide how you want to be remembered after you passed away and live your life to attain that image you created for yourself. Ah, don’t forget to write a book before you die

I think you are already doing the best with the knowledge you are accumulating: you are sharing it! Your close friends can surely certify this, as we all benefit from every interaction with you! But through your blog, you are sharing with the rest of the world, and that’s important as well!
Oh, just one more comment: you say you want to make your life remarkable enough to feel justified to talk about it… more remarkable than it already is? You never rest my friend!

Spryros, my brother! Your words are always come with a softness of the silk. Thanks for your encouraging comments.
), cooking, and now I trying writing. But slowly I am understanding that to be able to express well one should combine all the way he can possibly do that. Story telling is the single most powerful way to deliver your own experience including emotions to the others and it gives you the opportunity to combine all above
I should tell you, I have a fear! Fear of not to able to express enough how I feel or what I think. I tried many ways such as; dancing, photography, talking like a radio (annoying sometimes
