At the Limelight

High school days are over when I depended solely on using books in our library for academic purposes. All that time, I thought life was easy. But I was deceived without realizing how much easier studying would be if only I learned about the internet at that young age. That was such a hassle. I remember carrying a ton of books for my portfolio, and afterwards manually typing the information I needed for my topic.

Indeed, I have been ignorant. But not anymore.

If I would liken internet to a sound, it would be that of a bomb explosion. It does not only produce a very loud and trembling noise; it also severely affects the lives of the people who hear its sound. However,  unlike explosions, the effects of Internet are not that disastrous but rather very helpful to the ones exposed to it.

With Bill Gates “Shaping the Internet Age”, we could see that the internet has finally gotten the center stage of trend in our society nowadays. With everything going instant and everyone always being on the go, we find internet as our best friend. It is our source of everything–information, communication, business, money, and even spouse. 😀 It saves our time, readily providing us what we need. If feels like the world is in our hands whenever internet becomes accessible to us. No doubt, it makes life easier, faster, happier! 🙂

Internet has also destroyed boundaries when it comes to social class. Even people who do not have easy access with the internet could not be stopped by their limitations. Most of them find ways to merely play games and visit social networking sites. I have this one favorite internet shop where I spend time doing assignments and other stuffs. Even during late nights, I still find numerous people having their own businesses using the internet, few of them wearing not so presentable get-ups.

It has been a crave, a mania. But we all have to consider that too much of something would not always bring good results. People can be easily influenced by the latest trend, that is a given. We ourselves find ways to be incorporated with them. However, resources have been made available to us  for us to manage them, and not to be controlled by them.

The question here is that what would we do if the internet disappears? With the article of Bill Gates and our futuristic minds, we have always seen the internet as a growing fad. We have been expecting that on the coming years, more innovations will take place. But what if one day we wake up and realize that internet is no where to be found? Will our life still go on, or would we see ourselves like dying too?

Answer this and find out if you are to survive without the internet by your side.

I hope you make it. 😀

Just do it

This is not a Nike endorsement. This is just the statement I first thought of as I start typing for this post.

Sometimes we get to be demanded of things we have never tried before. Some of them hard, others not. Some we do, others we don’t. But time comes when we have no option but to follow.

I am not very used to doing this kind of thing. Given little time to sit down in front of a PC makes maintaining this blog a real challenge to me. I have a very busy life, spent more on personal interaction with people around me.

But challenges make life worth living. Getting out of your usual way of living brings excitement and thrill to an ordinary day. That is one reason why we have to love challenges. They give us room to grow and know more ourselves. They help us explore our capabilities and potentials, as well as our weaknesses and areas to improve on. Unless we get out of our comfort zone, we would never see ourselves doing extraordinary things.

My mind says, “Just do it. But as you do it, learn to love it.” Indeed, it is love that makes the world go round. And it is love that would help me maintain this blog for the whole semester. 😉

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.”  1 Corinthians 13:1
