This is an old blog post, but I really like it.  It is still true today

I should explain what is going on here.  This is an experiment.  I have a vague idea of using the internet to promote my real estate business.  I want to share content about the real estate market, and about living in Puna.  I hope to make it interesting and entertaining, and at the same time, use it as a platform to promote my real estate business.  I realize that it is sort of amateurish, and not very sophisticated, but I am okay with that.  I am learning something new, and that gives me a childish sense of excitement.  I feel like I am living on the edge.  Alvin Toffler, the famous futurist says that the illiterate of the future will not be those who cannot  read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

That is part of the Puna experience.  Since moving to the Big Island two years ago, I have been constantly learning new thing, challenging and re-inventing myself.  It seems to be a common experience here.  From hurricanes, to volcanic eruptions and dengue fever outbreaks, one never quite knows what to expect next.  It is also very economically challenging.  Jobs are hard to find.  I see a lot of people becoming entrepreneurs, creating their own jobs.  Its exciting.  Not everyone can handle it, though.  I’m sure many people find themselves looking for something more secure elsewhere.  But, if you are looking for the spirit of adventure, Puna may be just the place for you.
