A: Blogging can be either a full-time job or a part-time one. You certainly just make it as a hobby... as you ever said once. My question is "can our blog shape history?". I mean how big is the impact of our blogs to society?

B: Maybe it would be "too ambitious" saying that a blog can shape a history. Speaking about impact, I think a blog can give an impact to the readers although perhaps only the small one

A: If that so, how come some blogger are still enthusiast in writing their blogs? OK... maybe financial reward or fame are some of the reasons for bloggers. Is there anything specific reason why bloggers are eager to blog?

B: Blogging or writing can be fun for some people, you know. Maybe it's just like a personal expression for them. The same thing goes to people who like fishing in a pond. Some other people might think it's a boring activity. But for those who like fishing, it's definitely my "me time". 

A: I see. OK, anyway... you're an introvert person, aren't you? How do you develop yourself if you don't make enough time to socialize? It's still related to blogging, man. I think a good blogger should socialize more. No offense, OK? Haha...

B: Haha... OK. In my opinion, both introvert and extrovert person can be success in their career... as long as they persistent in doing what they do. Speaking about success, it's not always related to money or fame. Living in simple yet peaceful life can be a success too for some people... including myself. We just need to have enough money, not much money.

A: OK. Back to blogging and history. Long ago, writers are believed able to shape history. Today in digital era, when many people can "easily" become a blogger, how important or significant is blogger to society? Many people seem don't care about blogs and never read one due to their busy life style. Well?

B: Just keep on writing or blogging as a natural habit. Only time will tell whether our blogs will inspire people or not, will shape history or not... whatever.  Jokingly, it's still much better to write a blog than gossiping, right? Haha... or just like Kompasiana's tagline saying that "every story matters".
