Here's a cute story. I had my weekly boxing sesh a few hours back, and there was this little American- looking boy-who looks 7 or 8 years old to me-working out in the same gym too. While he was training with the speed ball, I joined him and took the empty slot right beside him. (I'll brag for a bit-I'm good with the speed ball!) I was in the zone, smashing the speed ball trying to beat my record last week (3-minutes straight) and when I stopped, I realized he was watching me. I smiled at him, he smiled back and said: "You're awesome" to which I replied "Why thank you, handsome", and he said again "I wish you're my sister so we can play boxing at home!" (Throws some punches in the air while jogging giddily in place, stops and flashes his heart-melting smile) I came up to him and pinched his chubby, rosy cheeks and replied "I wish I have a little brother like you too." (Oh yes I do! I want a baby sibling!) In the end, I kinda' sacrificed my own workout just to teach him the art of speed ball-ing and boy it was good because after about 30 minutes, his timing has significantly improved. :)
So what's the relation of my story with our Fan Mail Fridays today? For now, check out the question from Abigail:
Dear Martha,
What motivates you to blog?

If I didn't try my best to become good at boxing every single day (For the record, I am not fit for a semi- pro boxing match yet), I wouldn't be able to impart something useful to that little boy. Be the best to inspire others to be the best, that is my motivation in everything including this blog. Or maybe I could say that people alone are enough to motivate me-people who want to learn a thing or two from me and who simply want to be entertained.
