I have wanted to read for a long time the book especially since I started this blog because I am very new to the process of writing for a blog or for something that people would like to read in general, but everyday I think of a blog post this books name keeps popping into my head.

Without reading the book yet my mind is split 50/50 about this remark because on one hand I agree with being careful of what to write because it might be too plain and uninteresting like letting people know what you had for lunch, but on the other hand I read a post a programmer that I respect and that I usually read his technical posts, and yet one of the most interesting things that I read from him and felt like I got a really good read was a blog post about him trying out some tea cocktails that made him feel better that drinking coffee or caffeine beverages.

Any new information might be of interest to you at some point

That information for me was something that I enjoyed far more that I expected because deep down I realized that I wanted to know what other people were eating or drinking and for someone who was spending more and more time at the computer it was an edifying thing to hear how other people were trying to find ways of living healthier because spending a lot of time at the computer can make you develop a lot of bad habits but more on this subject maybe deserves a blog post on its own.

If I would have not given in to my curiosity to read a post that was different from what I normally like to read and from what I expected to read from the author I would have missed a good post because I would have had just a conservative mind to read only the technical posts and not care about the personal aspects of the blogging that might contain more posts like the one that I found, and I wouldn't have found out how much I enjoy reading posts that are personal and yet with a lot of good info that I can use outside of my interest for programming knowledge.

Above anything that others say, try to form your own opinion about everything

So now I know that I will be curious to read and maybe even enjoy topics that professional bloggers might tell you that you shouldn't write, because at the end of the day you decide in what kind of mood you are in to read or write something that you normally wouldn't think are interested in, because sometimes allowing your curiosity to break free you might find enjoyment in something completely different from your regular topics of interest.
