Additionally, I once had this friend who could juggle but she thought it wasn't a special skill and that everyone could do it. One day there was a local talent show and I suggested she try out. That was when I learned she thought it was nothing special. So she joined the talent show and won third place.Jeffrey Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973104877310669196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-88492255090093597742015-05-18T15:40:34.915-04:002015-05-18T15:40:34.915-04:00Yes, Carrie-Anne, I agree with the journey of qual...Yes, Carrie-Anne, I agree with the journey of quality philosophy, but I still dream of that one post that goes crazy viral with hits in the millions and so many comments that I can't possibly address them all.

We get the most quality followers and comments that way.<br /><br />It's always interesting to see what other people's most-viewed blog posts are.
