Yesterday my article was about Some Charming Quotes, I missed the one above due to the time restraint (there is only so much you can put on paper with a 1-minute read).
I once read someone's blog, for each article, it started with a quote and it ended with a quote and in between, there were more quotes. I loved the format, simple yet elegant.
The first quote got me thinking from the very beginning: what did the writer want to tell me? If the quote resonated with me somehow, I got intrigued right there.
The last quote made me wonder: what did the writer want me to do? If I was inspired to take some action, bingo. I was sold!
When my daughter was still a toddler, she had developed her sense of humor and she showed her talents for words. Writing about her and getting published added a lot of richness to my life as a mother. Attached was an article with the same title as this article: 语言游戏. Little did I know at that time that she could later develop such a keen interest in reading and writing. Her debut book will make my "Book of the week" at one point. I am very proud of her. I am also so happy for her.
