She Dragged Me To Medium
A Clever Move By My Friend
- Medium has this, Medium has that.
- I wrote this on Medium, I read this on Medium
- I got some more followers, and I got new comments, claps
and many many more.
From the day my friend joined Medium, we never had any discussion without Medium.
“One day, she saw a random lady, and said to me by pointing to her, that she saw that woman on Medium, but actually, she saw her in the office before”.
Even though I never saw her Medium profile, I knew exactly how many followers she has, how many stories she has already written, and how many stories she has in her drafts also.
In short, we stopped having a common topic for discussion…:(
I tried to control myself for some days, but one day I was completely full of this and she started to tell me:
Raza you know I just got some new…..
I said: STOP!
Not even a single word now.
And then there was complete silence for some minutes. During this silence, I was thinking maybe she would be feeling sorry for that, and now she will say sorry to me.
But can you imagine what she said?
She said: I wanted to say something, but please don’t get angry.
I thought of course I will not be angry with your SORRY. So I said:
Okay. I’ll not be angry.
She said: Why don’t you start writing on Medium?
I was about to say something angrily, but I controlled myself and to ignore this I just said:
I don’t have an account on Medium.
She said: I already made your account. You just need to start writing.
Heights are, she already suggested to me the topic of my first article. Then I started thinking, if she has already done these initial steps, then let’s write something on Medium. And I wrote the first article. You can read this here:
So that was the situation before I came to Medium. The situation now is below:
How it is now:
- Now when she says something about Medium, I listen to it very carefully.
- If she has just one thing to mention about Medium, I normally have way more than that.
- Now I also have to tell about my followers, my comments, and my claps to her.
and so on…
Now we don’t get angry. We have common topics to discuss.
And when I think about it, I realize that she played very cleverly. She knew that she is not going to stop discussing Medium, then why not drag me to it?
Now she doesn’t ask me before telling anything, “Will I be angry or not?”
Because she knows that I am also interested. Of course, there was one another factor that played a very important role to motivate me start writing on medium, which is described here:
But now, I really like to be on Medium, and I enjoy sharing my experiences and thoughts here. I hope you also like my content. Please follow me if you like it, and subscribe to get notified when I post my new article.
If you liked this one, please leave a loud clap and comment also.
I will see you in the next one.
