I am a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to the way I make my living. From part time real estate marketing to internet marketing to content writing and now even programming. One thing I have discovered is the real effectiveness of article writing.

Article writing is a great way to increase web traffic and build your backlinks. It’s also great for building expert status on a topic. If you ensure that you are writing targeted articles, you’ll even improve your conversion rates. Higher conversions means more income.

If you are doing regular targeted article writing, you can ensure that every offer that you are pushing gets the conversions that you need to make writing an extremely profitable activity. Personally, I attribute 50% of my internet income to targeted article writing. That’s an impressive chunk of income for an activity that is just plain fun for me.

This is a writing that is continued from Mars And Reality: A Literature Study Part I that I wrote up and I have decided to share in the confines of this blog. I hope that you find it informative and interesting.

This view of Mars is contrasted with what we know of Mars through recent exploration. We know that Mars does have a very hostile climate. We know that the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and is not breathable by humans. We have found no evidence of intelligent life on Mars. While we do know that Mars is a desolate planet devoid of life now, but what of Ray Bradbury’s talk of settling Mars?

It very well may be possible. With energy sources to heat up bubbled settlements and greenhouses to both grow food and convert carbon dioxide to oxygen through photosynthesis along with the location of a frozen water source, it might be very easy to establish a permanent colony on Mars.

Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles offered a glimpse into life on Mars as seen through his eyes, only time will tell if any of the view through his eyes is actual reality, but one thing is certain. His book inflamed the curiosity of a generation and led many a scientist to dream about Mars. These dreams about exploring Mars can be seen in our missions to Mars and in the findings of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers.

I find it interesting to share writings that I make from time to time. I enjoy writing up about a variety of subjects. Recently, an opportunity to write about Mars Vs Reality came up. I had been studying the subjects at length so I decided to jump at the chance to write about it and share my own personal thoughts on the matter. These are my thoughts.

The public has long had an interest in the planet called Mars. Books have been written for years about Mars. These books talk about life on Mars, they talk a dying land where people are trying desperately trying to continue their civilization in the battle against the elements, they talk about the Martian people, and they even talk of war against Earth as seen in the HG Wells book, War of the Worlds. For life on Mars, no other book has affected our national conscience quite like the Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.

Ray Bradbury took a different view of Mars and Martians than had previously been written about. Ray Bradbury’s Martians were an advanced civilization that were on a dying planet. They were human like with telepathic abilities and human emotions. Mars was a desolate planet that was drying and the Martians were unable to develop themselves against the elements.

The Martian Chronicles tell about the Earth explorers and later colonists who moved to Mars and tried to set up a new life in much the same way that the American continent was settled. In the story, Mars had a breathable atmosphere and while dry and desolate, Earth settlers were able to have some success, maybe at the same time to the detriment of the aboriginal Martians.

Lately I have been finding it very hard to deal with deadlines. I don’t know why things are so different over the last several weeks, but things that used to be so important are now a lot less important. This means that no matter how hard I try to re-prioritize things, I just can’t get it done.

The upshot is that I am starting to examine the way I have been prioritizing things. I am hoping that once I am able to do this and see how I have been handling projects, maybe I will see how I can better deal with the deadlines of those projects.

I think one casualty of this will be that I will be declining more projects that I previously would have been putting a lot more effort into. It also means that I am going to be focusing on just a few websites that I hope will become profitable. It’s a big leap of faith, but if I can do it, it might become very profitable for us. And hopefully worrying about deadlines will become a thing of the past.

Ah, my reflections on things going around me. That is sometimes the way I feel when I see things going on around me. It sometimes fills me with hope, sometimes it fills me with dread. I look at the past and look at the future. I look at the good decisions I have made and the bad decisions I have made in the past. It all engulfs me sometimes, but sometimes I break free.

I know the future is bright and things are moving forward at a breakneck pace and that the future is something we are never quite sure or even uncertain about. We can only do our best and hope and pray for the best. That is the powerful power of all of this and that is what brings me happiness and contentment.
