Is there really a problem or do we just like to whine and make wrong choices?
I must say that it is simply awesome to have access to all sorts of information and mis-information :-) via internet. You just need to think about a topic and voila - the Google God, the Facebook Fairy and many others are here at your service! The cynics and skeptics, lets not get into the topic of net neutrality today! I will try to get to it in a future post. Hopefully net stays neutral till then!
Since we have access to all this information and all the platforms to express ourselves(including this blog for me!), we get to hear a lot about what is going on in our friends' lives, our city, our country and various parts of the world. Share all the good, the bad and the ugly. Take a pause and think about this. It is pretty darn amazing. You can entertain yourself, keep in touch with lots of people spread all over the world, share opinions, make choices based on information available from different sources, stay informed on latest in the business, politics and scientific research, derive insights from big data analysis - the list is endless.
So is this the golden age or what? What? Did I say something wrong? Oh, wait looks like some hands are going up and some people reading this are questioning my assessment. Since I don't really have your feedback while I am writing this, I can't go into specifics. But I do know that I have whined in the past about many things and still do. It can be quite cathartic for the time being. After all it doesn't take any effort to whine. This can be an endless cycle if that's how you roll. You can keep doing it all your life or you can utilize the information available to you and do something about the problem/s at hand. Always remember:
You choose to procrastinate or act
You choose to lead or be led
You choose to be happy or miserable
You choose to get bored or entertained
You choose to stay behind or get ahead
You choose to feel inferior or superior
You choose who you love or despise
You choose to make friends or foes
You choose to love or fight
You choose to create or adopt
You choose to care or not care!
I would love to have your feedback. Tell me anything specific you want me to address and I will try to make it a topic of my future post. Till then, whine a little but make good choices!
