My Top 10 Reasons for Blogging

I started blogging for Selina Wing in 5 years ago because I practice to writing to improve my English. Last time, I noticed that not many Deaf people like to read blog, compared with the Hearing people enjoyed to read my blog. So, I decided to encourged my Deaf friends to share and read my blog about the experience, news and information will help them gain more knowledge and can give their opinions when I introduced the Deafboleh group and blogs in the social media, such as Facebook and Google+.

My main motivation was that I actually enjoy writing about things that interest me. My hope that my own experiences will help you understand how blogging can benefit your business and motivate you to change yourself to be better.

If you have something to say, blog is a place to allow your thoughts and opinions be heard by your friends and bloggers around world. You don't have to be professional when you start new blog. Take slowly to think more that will help to open your mind and expression. I always think alot of ideas and plans on everyday. Haha...
