How A Bully Changed My Life

Hello, I had planned to post chapter 3 of the Man this week but I want to rework a couple of parts of it before I do and I have been soooo busy (for our readers who speak English as a second language, read that as “so busy” but add a lot of emphasis to the “so”).

In the mean time you may like to read a short story I added to my personal blog at Ric Vatner.com called How My Mum Beat the School Bully.

Have you ever had a problem with bullies or a bully? I always associate bullies with school but some people meet them in the army, at work, in a volunteer organisation or even at home. In fact you can meet them anywhere. Well my mum was fed up with one that was giving me a hard time at school and her solution taught me a lesson I never forgot.

If you would like to read about it please click this link http://bit.ly/9XurOO

If you have had an experience with a bully that you would like to share with us please add it to the comments either here or on my Ric Vatner blog.

Of course it is not only people that act like bullies, politicians do it often and some times a country can act like a bully.

When you think about it, the world would be a different place today if there were no bullies because often they were the ones responsible for piecing together the disparate groups of people we now call countries. But of course quite often the countries they created have inbuilt fractures that have led to years if not hundreds of years of discontent.

Mmm I am just beginning to realise how big a topic this could be, we might have to put this on the list of blogs to do. If you like reading history then you have read quite a lot on this topic already, one way or another. But looking at it from the philosophical prospective could be really interesting.

I can see the title now

“The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – How Bullies made the World

What do you think, should we tackle it at some stage?

    Substantially, the post is actually on the sweetest topic. I love the conclusion and will thirstily look forward to your future updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the tremendous lucidity in your writing. I will right away grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates.

  4. This is really nice post. I am going to actually come back more often. It’s also possible to examine this web site about Fast Article Writing.

    Editor:

    Hi, I definitely don’t believe you can write quality articles that people want to read in 5 minutes. They may be good enough for Google and help get you a higher page rank (and there is nothing wrong with that) but as a writer, I would not be happy with that level of work.

    But maybe I am a glutton for punishment, I guess the only way to know is to try it out.

    Cheers,

    Ric

    A very interesting read and a great post altogether. Would you mind if I posted the same article on my blog (with a reference to your website)?

    Editor:

    Feel free but I would not recommend that you copy it exactly or we will both be slapped by Google for having duplicate content. Best thing is if you paraphrase it by saying what you think about this topic and then link to this article from your article.

    Cheers,

    Ric

Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored stiff. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.
