No, “Will Smith” is Legend. :)

[get it? I AM LEGEND movie reference]

this is pretty amusing. I’m sure plenty people out there would like to start writing articles and get traffic to make money in the end.

However, I always believe that its all in the mindset. Thanks for exposing the questions above. I should already know how to answer them but well - you hit the nail on the head with your own personality! ;)

God Bless,

Thanks again…

If you are the one who asked the question above about a request for Chris to post on your blog, well, indeed, I was not referring to your comment. In fact, the top Bloggers on the Internet say that “Guest Blogs” are one of the smartest ways to gain credibility and readership, and interviews work well also. In fact, the interview or guest blog serves both parties well. So you question was intelligent and smart marketing too.

Perhaps the reason Chris, did not have the time to be a guest blogger is because to do it right it takes a little extra care and time, for instance:

Being a guest blog is good, having high profile guest bloggers is even more wise. Folks have interviewed me and had me as a guest blogger to promote their blogs and I think that they ask me because of my prolific-ness and not due to my quality as a writer like you. I bet Chris gets asked to be interviewed or guest blog regularly and would spend considerable time doing that if he accepted them all.

Now with that said, the question asked above, again if you are the same Samantha, was well written, smart marketing and very insightful as a plead to make an exception and for Chris to consider that invite. I believe that asking such a question is not wrong, rather, worth a try and as percentage shots go, what do they say; “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” so, take the good shots, give it your best shot and luck will eventually find you as preparedness meets your opportunity and turns into destiny. - Lance

Indeed, there is a lot to be said for the power of a group and their endorsement of an individual in the group, as achieved, intelligent, gifted or expert. Which, in a way, is an utter shame, because someone in a group has to alter their thoughts and mind to be one with the group to prove they are worthy, rather than using their intellect to reason a “third way” or alternative. Thus, the need to belong is so very important to people, their ego, their status and how they are perceived by others as being in this case smart, or in other cases talented, brilliant, or expert in nature.

Often people who wish to be top tier professionals will go out of their way to align themselves with associations, groups or committees to show that others believe them to be of that status.

Therefore, those who follow in lock-step in order to be perceived as intellectuals, are only of high emotional IQ, understanding that the value of perception of being wise, smart, or brilliant is more important to many than the actual genius.

The most brilliant of all would most likely allow their names to be bantered or given accolades occasionally in such groups only for the benefit of information flow or opening doors in order to go onto the next important endeavor, but all the while they would understand that groups give awards to promote the group as being filled with smart people, not actually for the benefit of the individual getting the honors. Indeed, that is a fringe or secondary benefit to the individual, but groups care about their status as much as the gentleman wanting to be thought of as being smart, rather than going the distance to become one with wisdom, which is a long, hard and lifetime road, not merely a few writing techniques, allowing for a short cut.

I delayed so much doing other things that now I don’t have time to give my answer to all the questions… However, I would like to give my answer to the first two ones at least, because are extremely inspirational.

This is why I like this blog: it is light, we talk about writing, we laugh… This is very nice for a change, because as I told you in a previous discussion, I usually talk about serious problems and impossible solutions.

However, there are many other aspects in life that deserve my attention.

So, here is my humble contribution:

“how to write a good article that can really make people think i am a very smart people?”

Christina’s answer:

People will never think that you are a very smart people, because you are only one person, you are not a group of people. Besides that, based on your question we can only deduce that you are not a smart individual. Only a ghost-writer can help you.

“how i never wrote any thing in my life can u help me please”

Christina’s answer:

Yes, of course!

Turn your computer on, wait a little bit, be sure you are connected to the Internet, open a page and wait for a while.

Now, copy and paste on your browser the words: “elementary school for adults”.

Good luck!
