In fact, a friend of mine had mentioned becoming a contributor on another blog but I declined. I didn\u2019t have the time \u2013 or so I thought \u2013 and I definitely was not interested in the lifestyle\/entertainment field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">What interested me was communications. And I wondered why organisations were not placing more emphasis on this crucial theme. At the time, flipping through different bits of news and reading business articles simply increased my sense of incredulity. I believed that a lot of organisational problems \u2013 dented corporate images, low productivity, high turnover, lack of trust, reduced motivation\/engagement etc. \u2013 all stemmed from the ineffective or inappropriate use of communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So I \u2018set\u2019 to work. I actually started my &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/lucille-ossai.blogspot.com\/2012_03_01_archive.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first blog article<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;on my Blackberry, whilst waiting in a car one Saturday morning for my son to finish his practice. In the one hour that I waited, I wrote over 1,000 words. I \u2018worked\u2019 almost to the point of mania \u2013 driven by something bigger than myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In the days which followed, I cross-checked my facts, did millions of grammar checks, tweaked text, and emailed my first draft to trusted family members. (I wasn\u2019t prepared to subject myself to mass disapproval by taking it public). It was not until I got very favourable feedback, as well as sound advice and editing help (thanks sis!), that I realised that I was \u2018on\u2019 to something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">My dilemma then became three-fold: how to \u2018store\u2019 the article online where it could be accessible to others, how to preserve administrative rights, and how to retain the freedom to supply more articles on my own terms and according to my interest. When the suggestion of the blog was made (again), I decided to take the leap of faith and proceeded, although not\u00a0\u00a0knowing quite how to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So I stormed the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-PyNNWNzg8GE\/UVAumaT1VII\/AAAAAAAAAh0\/ofrW8-NYqH4\/s400\/Stockimageholdingbriefcase-freedigitalphotos.net.jpg?resize=640%2C424&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:776px;height:516px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I subsequently spent eight straight hours setting up the blog, reading tips and getting relevant images, before posting the article.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I think I had my lunch and dinner by the computer that day! It wasn\u2019t until my heavy eyes could barely keep open or protests from my kids about being ignored could no longer be drowned out by the noise of the incessant typing on the keyboard, that I decided to log off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">And the rest, as the tired clich\u00e9 goes, was history\u2026<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Memorable quotes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Let\u2019s look back at the past one year through memorable quotes of the articles posted on this blog.
