As I start to write and to blog, as I start to have time to do so, I do so to think and to organize my thoughts and experiences. I have started reading I Am a Strange Loop by Douglas Hofstadter. Early in the book, he makes the following statement: “And one of my firmest conclusions is that we always think by seeking and drawing parallels to things we know from our past, and that we therefore communicate best when we exploit examples, analogies, and metaphors galore, when we avoid abstract generalities, when we use very down-to-earth, concrete, and simple language, and when we talk directly about our own experiences.” A good thought to have as I start building a body of work.
