      Great article while saying thanks for the encouragement to keep on keeping on with writing. Here at HP I have always gone with the sentiment if I receive just one view I am a success!!

      Well, maybe two or three as a view or two may be the Quality Assessment Program (QAP) or me, yet no matter it was read and may have had an impact. Hooray!

      One never knows as the idea, hidden secret, or wisdom of an article even a how to may by word-of-mouth may go around the world to who knows where. It is magical, mystical, and, well, simply an amazing mystery one may never solve. Cool!!

        My motivation to join 13 years ago was to get feedback on my writing from people who didn't know me. 160 hubs later, it is not nearly as motivating for people just to read. Which is why I've written exactly one in the last several years. HP is so far from the wonderful writing community it started out as.

        Thank you, Arun, though for the encouragement. We need it more now than ever.

          I'm a twelve year veteran or there about. I enjoyed HP community wise much better some seven and earlier years back. It was about 50/50 community with dialogue and business then. When things got tough on Google to make a buck, HP had to change. Oh Well gotsta' go with the flow of things, right?

          I don't write much these days other than journals. The last article or poem I posted was 2017. Wow! I do want to write, though!

    Excellent writing, Arun. The writing job is every bit they call it-heartless, thankless, relentless and always causes duress. But at the end of the day, nothing in the world can beat the sweet smell of success and the validation that your writing has been recognized. Thanks for sharing this inspiring work.

    Thanks, John, for sharing Arun's work.
