5 Reasons Why I'm Thinking
I'm not a fan of blog memes but I could not help but make this post because I was tagged by my dear friend, the one and only, beautiful Jean MacManus. It always makes me wonder who is the one to start these things in the first place. Some bloggers might be quite frustrated (no?) when tagged but I think at times it is beneficial for my reader friends. So, here is 5 reasons why I blog:1. Knowledge grows when shared. This is my favorite quote of all time and my main motivation to blog.
2. Makes me feel good. If anything was of little help to someone (I hope) then sharing information always made me feel good.
3. Meeting like minded people. The Internet would be a cold place without blogs and receiving comments from readers who like what I write might lead to some great friendships in the future. If you come to Turkey, you can stay my house!
4. Just another hobby. Time left over from studying, sports, and hanging out with friends, this is what I enjoy doing. Its some serious fun!
5. Not for the money. Blogging is not one of my career aspirations so no amount of money will buy me. But hey, I made 5 bucks from Adsense, now I can go buy a magazine that will keep me thinking!
I'm tagging Robert, Divya, Anita, Tisha and John. I would love to hear the reasons why you blog!
On the lighter side, I would like to finish off this post with a (de)motivational poster I got in my inbox. For all you bloggers out there, no matter the reasons why you're blogging! =)
UPDATE: I got tagged again for the same meme by Ray Dotson, Media Lizzy and Louiss Lim.[ This post is brought to you by Obama Shirts ]

"Knowledge grows when shared"
Love that quote too!
It reminds of another quote I heard during the .com craze.
"Knowledge isn't power, knowledge shared is power!"
Thanks for sharing...keep creating,

oh boy i better get cracking...i received this meme from another friend a couple of weeks ago too and didn't write anything up yet, thanks for thinking of me ilker
the demotivational poster is gold!
As you could probably tell, I don't do meme's on my site, but would love to answer here ...
1) To bring just a few extra smiles on people's faces (this is really the only reason, the othes are ancillary)
2) To learn
3) To laugh
4) To launch a career as an entrepeneur (down the road)
5) To learn the ins and outs of web social networks, commerce, and psychology
I think I like yours better though ... I'm so simple!
Hay, I am enjoying reading your blog.
I ab glad there are some people on this earth that still think.
have you ever tried the Einstein Puzzle [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%27s_Puzzle]
It isn't very difficult, but nice to do. It's fun, especially when you get the answer right.
You mean the Einstein's Puzzle that I already blogged!? =)
Hey Ilker thanx for tagging me. I have already been tagged and have done the post more than a month ago... So I'll have to pass. I'll put your update there soon.
No amount of money? This caused some concern at T4td Corp. If we were given to extremes of emotion, our moustaches would almost have quivered. However, we agree with the sharing of knowledge- if you want some of ours, come and see us at:

Sincerely,

We think, so you don't have to.
I want to say I enjoy the aura of your thinking blog and the reasons why you blog makes me happy!
Here are some quotes on knowledge that I like:
"When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge." - Confucius
"The wisest man admits he knows nothing." - Socrates
"He knows that says: we do not know." - Upanishads
Quote-lovers.. have you tried Quotiki?
Love the monkeys! Thanks.
“We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.”
- Robert Wilensky, speech at a 1996 conference
I have updated the post I promised above. Its Tagged to Fame, or am I. I hope you like the quote there.
Hey, thats me and my family in the picture. Where did you have found it?
As at first I thought Ilker and her blog were a pretty face with a beauty flower, and I didn't pay attention to "thethinkingblog", the following quote is entirely dedicated to me :
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
- Albert Einstein
no excuses !
UPDATE: Author of the blogging demotivational poster Ishkur.
Personally, I like this one better:
"If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, eventually one of them would write 'Hey Hey We’re the Monkees!'" – unknown
I received another tag for this meme from All Tips and Tricks blog! Thanks a lot =)
And again!! This time Matthew from eJabs blog. Thanks!
No problem Ilker...just spreadin' the love! I enjoy your blog, so I thought I'd give you a new tag!
My rich aunt always told me as a child, "Don't work hard, just think hard." It works, in business matters. Not so great for relationships, I've found. She's been married 3 times, also.
"I am therefor I THINK !"
I think those that "Think therefor they are!"
I think that they are really non thinkers!
I think the best way to think is objectively not subjectively
I think that I am being objective about my subjective comment.
