Remember when you turned four?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You might vividly remember your fourth birthday or it might be a vague recollection of mirthful activities, when everything seemed possible…including becoming a princess or having super powers, (no<\/span> judgment<\/span> here).<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/span>

I however, can distinctly recall that day in March 2012 when I began this blog<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span> I remember the excitement and the purpose that drove me to work continuously for what, I can now admit, was an unhealthy stretch of time. Even though I didn\u2019t work until I dropped, seeing my first blog article online was a rewarding experience. That <\/span>post about the communications strategy<\/span><\/a>\u2014a long-form article of 3,000+ words and the second most-read article on this site in four years\u2014set the tone for all other articles which have followed to date. Blogging has stretched me and taught me how to become a better communicator and a more relevant business writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It is therefore fitting that I continue in the tradition of celebrating this blog’s anniversary. As a sign of appreciation to you, dear readers, I have listed memorable quotes carefully selected from articles posted in the blog’s fourth year of existence. This is the <\/em>perfect opportunity to catch up on articles which you couldn’t find time to read.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
