“Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.” (Franklin D. Roosevelt )

Do you agree with this statement? Or do you think that repeating a lie is enough to turn it into a truth? Why? Which are the borders that keep lies and truths apart?

In case you prefer another topic, here it is:

“Be absolutely clear about who you are and what you stand for. Refuse to compromise.” (Brian Tracy)

Do you believe there are times when one should compromise? Why or why not? Is it possible to compromise and still remain true to what you stand for?

Happy journaling!

If you keep an online journal which contains public (or at least friends-only) entries, write a how-to post. Yes, your readers will learn someting from you.

Anything goes. It can either be an important thing or a silly one. What matters here is that you’ll share your knowledge. And don’t say you “don’t have anythnig to teach.” Everyone does. (But if you really find it too hard, this difficulty might as well become your new journal writing prompt. So, write about it.)

What can you do if you don’t have an online journal, or if you do but keep it private? Then write about things that you enjoyed learning and why you did.

Alternatively, search for a how-to article on the Internet (you choose the topic), read it and describe your impressions on it. Was it helpful? Or was it a waste of time?

Read this quote by H. G. Wells:

This has been said by Helen Keller:

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature … Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”

Do you agree? Or not? Why? Have you ever had this opinion about security vs. adventure? Or have your views on the subject changed as years went by?

If you don’t feel like writing about this quotation, write about its author. Do you find Keller’s life story fascinating? Or are you indifferent to it? Why?

What does your journal writing style reveal about your personality? Use Typealyzer to find it out. Then write about the results. Are they accurate or not? Why?

Alternatively, you can use Typealyzer to analyse someone else’s online journal; write about it afterwards. You can even turn this into a funny meme. Tag some of your friends to have them analyse their own journals and share their impressions.

A journaling topic for you:

“I think that technologies are morally neutral until we apply them. It’s only when we use them for good or for evil that they become good or evil.” (William Gibson)

Do you agree that technologies are morally neutral? Or do you believe that some technologies are intrinsincally dangerous? If so, which ones?

If you don’t feel like writing about this topic, try this one:

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” (John F. Kennedy)

Should violent revolutions be avoided at all costs? Or are there situations when they are acceptable? Would you take part in a violent revolution? Why?

Happy journaling!
