I recently acknowledged a few things about myself that i hadn't noticed about myself in the past and i think it's always good to identify certain qualities in yourself; therefore, you know what to look for in others, and you know what they would expect to find in you... and it makes you feel great! :)
Well, i know i obtain absolutely NO skills whatsoever of multitasking. I tend to put all my effort into one thing, (that's usually a lot of effort) rather than scattering it by doing various tasks where my mind would be all over the place. Although sometimes this can be bad (putting so much effort into one thing) Eg. exams, because it makes you slower at it, and when put to the clock, you tend to run out of time. This is something I MUST WORK ON, before exams start.
Secondly, i realised that I AM REALLY NOT A FAN OF COMPUTERS...?!?! Well, the internet..
This is one of the only websites i ever go on. I really don't understand everyone's constant obsession with these machines. And the internet.... if I'm on it for over half an hour, i will usually get bored.
Give me a book, over an internet research task any day and i'll take it.
It's pretty hard to admit this dislike when most of the world's population including my sister, mum and dad and almost all of my friends, are hooked, leaving me a ratio of like 1:1000 000...
Maybe it's the infinite amount of convenience, placed upon it all, that has drastically grasped the minds of this generation, but then again, maybe they see it differently..
I think we should use it in moderation only.
Oh that brings me to another thought that has been thrust upon me in these past two weeks. This is how it goes;
Have you ever felt so comfortable when and where you are that you don't feel like moving? Don't lie, because we all have.
When you're comefortable, you don't feel like moving and if you don't move for too long, you become stagnent.
Translate that into litteral format and you become a non-achiever; this is what i like to call the comefort zone. And it's not a good zone to be in, trust me.
This applies with everything from money to relationships.
We humans are naturally born to achieve and succeed. But these days, it seems more and more people are slipping into this comefort zone due to the simple convienience of technology.
Maybe this is why I'm not a fan of the ever growing "everything at your fingertips" convienience of the internet and it's powers. So when you can view/find out everything from your computer screen, why get off your ass and find out the hard way?
It's because we need it. We need the challenge and we need the determination.
Just imagine those people who have nothing, those poor people affected by poverty and homelessness, and sometimes, when they truly put their minds to it, they end up succeeding and achieving their dreams. From nothing...
Now where's the convenience there?
Where as us, we have the choice. We are one of the luckiest countries in the world because we have that added luxuary and endless amounts of choices, we have the choice to be comefortable and stagnent or we have the choice to strive to be better, and achieve our dreams.
Which one would you pick ?
