Reason #1
Spoken by over 130 million people, Japanese is the among the top 10 languages on Earth.

Reason #2
In the world of console video games/Anime, it rises to 1st place!

Reason #3
Japanese is the language used by all those wonderful import games you wish you could buy (but don't buy because you don't understand the language)

Reason #4
Even today, Japanese voice actors tend to put more soul and realism into their Anime roles than their American counterparts (not to anger any dub fans out there). Wouldn't it be nice to have the best of both worlds? Good (Japanese) voice acting without having to read your Anime!

Reason #5
There are a LOT of Anime series (and video games) out there in Japanese only. Some good titles too! It would be nice to be able to understand them.

Reason #6
Many of your family, friends, and co-workers believe Japanese is hard. Show them what you can do! ^_^ They'll think you have special talent or something. Actually, anyone can learn it if they want to.

Reason #7
"Speaks Japanese" looks great on a resume, whatever your line of work. Knowing any second language helps, but Japanese will have a greater effect on an employer, since not many Americans know Japanese! (which can't be said for Spanish, for example)

Reason #8
Japanese has the reputation for being hard, but is actually just "different".

Reason #9
Japan has the second largest economy in the world, so their language is very relevant.

Reason #10
Japan has an interesting culture, much of which is reflected in the language.

Reason #11
Japan controls both the video game and Anime industries.
This allows you to learn a language while enjoying an Anime or playing a video game! What other language gives you such opportunities?

Growth is a normal expression of Life. Whether we think of plants, animals, or people, we expect them to grow. When something or someone doesn’t grow, we know something is wrong. As a Christian, we should grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Unlike physical growth, spiritual growth doesn’t stop at any age. It doesn’t have a peak or through. You just keep on growing. Paul commended the Thessalonians believers for their seeking to please God and love to other believers. And yet, in the instances he urged them to do “more and more.” Paul even said we need milk, not solid food, for we are not ready for it. No one is an adult Christian, we only be called adult if we are already with our Father in Heaven; thus the growing never stops …

1. Update Regularly. Readers are a very fickle lot. If you keep them waiting for days at a time, you will lose your audience.
2. Post your URL in email signatures, or invite people you know to visit, hoping they will spread the word. But don’t spam people with your blog link. Spammers are hated.
3. Exchange link with other bloggers, or use link exchange programs such as Technorati.com and Referer.org.
4. Be interesting. Once you have established a regular readership, keep entries interesting enough that they will keep reading. Blogging about laundry day doesn’t have to be boring.
5. Write well. It doesn’t have to be in English; you can blog in your native language, if you‘re that good, people will read you.
6. Don’t write about your company. If it’s a personal blog, avoid discussing details about your work. More than a few bloggers have gotten into trouble for doing this. Most companies will not be happy if you broadcast confidential matters, even if you thought it was too funny not to be shared. This is not the fame you’d want.
7. Run Google Adesense ads. A lot of people have actually earned from it. But keep in mind that this works only if your site is so popular that the probability of people clicking on the ads is high.

My Personal Add: Blogs are not made in order to please people but to praise God but in order to reach out to other people we sometimes need to use some promotional technique or gimmiks..
