I strongly believe that "Words are sharper than swords." and continue to believe that power will be in the hands of writers not soldiers. Time will prove whether this is true or not. But for me, I will use the sharp weapon of words to change the world, starting from myself. As Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." I now started to the see the change in myself.

The power of words
Words are the only weapon a writer has, in compare with guns, bombs, tanks and numerous other weapons a soldier would have. But there is one thing, very important in fact, that words are sharper than swords.
Writer writes
"Writer writes" is one of the most important sentences in the writing world. We, writers are former readers who thinking deep in our minds that, one day I will be a writer. But it takes quite a long time before our thinking would turn to actually writing. That's my case. Without realizing it, I now write and write and write. It finally becomes a habit, the habit that every writers should have, to be a writer who write.
Win over the mind
Mind and body, the master and servant are very interesting. We can see clearly our bodies but not our minds. We win over our bodies by doing exercises, but how do we win over our own minds? I only found the method today. To win over our minds, we must do mind exercises. And one way to do it is through meditation. The more meditation you do, the better control the mind you have. And there are 40 methods of meditations, just choose a method that fit you. You'll feel a lot better once you win over the mind.
The Buddha Parami: The mission of Bodhisatta

The question might be, why do you want to become a Buddha? A simple answer is to be an awaken one. All human beings and other kinds of living beings are in illusions, like someone sleeping and dreaming. But the Buddha is different, with the final perfection, He becomes an enlightened one which know very clearly that what it is to be awaken. Once awaken, the Buddha has a duty to wake the other human beings up. That's the benefits of becoming a Buddha. (Image Credit: Meditation in Liverpool)
Agatha Christie

Her novels has been sold more than 4 billion copies worldwide. Yes, that's right; 4,000,000,000 books!!! What an amazing writer. Nobody has broken her record since 1976, not J K Rowling or Dan Brown. But someone will do in the future, and that person could probably be you or me.

Drop of thinking

Our ideas, once drop into a paper and become a book, they become one. We don't need to know which one is new or old. But the only thing we need to know is that our ideas become one. The oneness is very special.
Try with a drop of idea, and see if it becomes one.
Relax and write

Meditation is the best relaxing method. I do it a lot and would recommend to all writers who feeling stress or even depress. Just try to breathe in and out with consciousness. Knowing that you're breathing in and breathing out. In normal life, we never know whether we're breathing in or out. But it is very nice to start to see whether it is in or out, and that's the most basic meditation (but very powerful). Concentration will increase with meditation. Try relax and write.
