Why I Have The Potential To Be A Superstar

by Melvin · Oct 2, 2008

A lot of people here reading my blog probably know (like what I always said) that I am a guy who’s so much into basketball. Although I haven’t played it for about 6 months now, due to busy school scheds and some appointments, I always keep myself conditioned to it. I’m not just a player, I’m also an analyst by nature. That’s why their is a triviality of basketball blog!

Going back to me, I was never a star in basketball. It has been my disappointment since high school. I was just like always a part of the support crew that comes off the bench and relieves starters. People close to me always say that I have the potential and if and ifs blah blah… I really have, I stand close to 6’ft and it seems I fit into that sports so much. Here are why they (and I) think I can be a great one someday:

1. Long range dexterity – When I was in highschool early part, everything I know is shooting the ball. I have deadly hands from long range and medium range. Problem is that’s the only thing I know that time. I can’t defend, can’t drive/slash, can’t use my height and etc. Now, I have become more balanced. But my shooting is still one thing thats always noticeable. 😉

2. Great Leap – Being I am close to 6 ft and I am really lean, I was also blessed to have this nice leap! And the thing is I have improved it with the Air Alert training program that was done by a lot of amateur and professional players (not just in basketball). Can I dunk? You judge!

3. Smart! – When I was in college, people who were smaller and nonathletic than me always make me feel stupid. That’s it, they play smart, they don’t have the talent but they get in your head~ They always compensates for something that they’re not blessed with. Then they shared me their tips!

4. Reliable – There aren’t many players out there who have a fresh fully functioning legs! I have never been injured and my legs have never been battered or whatsover. Although I haven;t really played much ball these days, the fact that I always give my 190% into the game and me not getting bruised is something to look at! Would you rather have LeBron James for 3 years or Paul Pierce for 10 years? 😉

5. No Attitude Problem – Boy, I am a very good boy! And people can testify to it!

So thats it. Looking at it, it can be said that I am indeed a superstar status but why not? Those are great gifts and talents that I have but some things really overshadowed those. Like my physique, I am merely over 50 kg, has a weak lungs, poor conditioning, weak upper body, bad timing, inconsistent game and really a lot. Add that I developed astigmatism these days and I have had also my blood sugar increasing!

So you think I can still be a basketball star?

Making Money Online Is Not For Everyone

by Melvin · May 27, 2008

So as I am writing this post, I have remembered how many of my friends were so much fascinated about creating a blog and living a majestic life out of it. And of course like many people, they were disappointed to see that the money isn’t really easy. I admit that I even thought it would also work that way and feel I can get rich online. Btw, this is not my first blog. I have a basketball site that I am really writing a lot because I’m a big fan of basketball.

So getting back to making money online, I think it’s quite simple. It’s NOT for everyone. That’s the bitter truth. When I started the venture of making money online, the first thing I did was the adsense thing. So, literally I became impatient. I clicked my ads, encourage my friends to do it thinking that the best search engine won’t caught me. I got $136 and was banned even before getting it. That’s just one of the super duper many things that have flopped so bad for me.

Right now, I’m making money through affiliate marketing. Not really big just about $200 a month. And looking back to the past, I’ve realized many things. That’s why making money online is not for everyone. Sure you’ll find stuffs there that says “build a blog and make money” or “get rich quick”, but the truth is most people just sell those craps to make money themselves. Just put my case here, I am a great basketball player (at least that’s what i think) and I believe I can be successful someday. So why its not for me? Simple, because I’m a weak man physically and the world is just so competitive that I can’t even get the opportunity.

How about you? Do you think you can succeed with what you’re doin/dreaming?
