Beyond 'Going Local' - Serendipity@Howdys, Inc.

I used to use the word 'coincidence' to describe something that happened without my having anything to do with it.  I understand the meaning of the word signifies the circumstance agreeing with another implying accident.  I have always liked this word in English, for it happens quite often in the universe that is random to say the least. 

Now I prefer using the word 'serendipity' to 'coincidence.'  I don't know if all of you will agree with me but I feel blessed to encounter coincidence of any kind.  To me the word is charged with emotional significance, and thus I feel 'serendipity' is appropriate when there is coincidence around me.

According to Wikipedia, "Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. "

So for one to experience 'Serendipity' one has to looking for something.  This description best suits me because I am always looking for something.  As those of you who have known me for a long time know, I used to describes myself 'a naked pronoun searching for metaphors in Time.'

I have been an entrepreneur for a few years now.  In some areas I feel I achieved success, in others I have made mistakes.  But one thing is for sure - there is always something beyond my preconceived routes.  All thinking is wishful and I am a very wishful person.  Often my thinking goes wrong but I have always been blessed with 'serendipity.'  My best achievements are mostly found in the area outside of my original idea.

My faith, not logic, is based on this very nature of Time being filled with randomness and charged with impermanence.  Some may call it God's plan, intention or responsibility.  Perhaps.  But I am more of a mystic who believes it is up to us to discover where the next moment will lead us to.

By founding 'Howdys, Inc.' I have been experiencing even more serendipity than before.  In the beginning 'Howdys!' was just a website in a local community trying to bring more people to local business.  But as time passed by, job classifies became the hottest contents in Howdys!, and then people started asking us to design the websites of their own.  Interestingly enough, now I perceive myself an evangelist of Internet promotion and marketing in a local community.  More of a consultant than a man selling ads.

As an evangelist, my goal is steadily shifting from 'Local Business' to 'Local People.'  Because the key for success in any local business is to attract the people in the local community.  Internet is, I believe, the best way for giving people the way to make their voice heard.  Though not perfect, it's more than just 'good.'

Through my career in a local evangelist, needless to say, I met so many people - both clients and customers.  From there started constant process of serendipity after serendipity - my world widened.  Howdys, Inc. is beginning to find its path toward something much bigger - that is to target every local area in the gaps of information and utilize the 'system' that is about to be completed, to work in any particular area and make life much better for those who live there.

This is, as many of you know, my second Weblog.  I have my own Weblog in Japanese, through which I made connections with many people.  The purpose for starting one in English is 'Serendipity,' as well as my intention to polish up my rusty English.

Through this Weblog too - I am looking forward to experience the 'Serendipity' in the fabric of Time!  Hope to encounter those who will apply metaphors to a naked pronoun I am!
