I, for one can be a little uncertain when it comes to technology gadgets primarily because I am totally clueless when it comes to IT. I was hesitant when I decided to blog as I knew that I would put myself into the deepest waters ever. Something totally and almost alien to me. However, as with anything, either we swim or sink and I chose to swim instead.
One of the most perplexing question when you are starting out having to sit a considerable amount of time in front of the computer is having a notebook to start with. With the variety of choices of the types of computers we have these days, its no wonder we are stressed even before we begin.
So, to help out someone who is starting out and needing to purchase a notebook (for all I know, you could be blogging using the office computer :-D), 3 things you should look for when narrowing down your choice:
1. Practicality. It is no use having a state of the art notebook when the functions are too complicated and do not serve your purpose. Get a relatively simple one to grasp first and upgrade later if and when the need arises.
2. Memory. Even though you decide that your notebook is used solely for blogging purposes, it is best that you get a computer with higher memory since it facilitates faster processing of the notebook applications for example, dell memory.
3. Accessories. These days notebooks are equipped with plenty of accessories. Just make sure that you choose the ones you need as the price of these notebooks may vary resulting from how many different types of accessories it has.
There, 3 of the most common factors which I think may help narrow down your choice or at least, determine your intended purchase.

Yeah, that is how long I would give myself to write down my thoughts for this post. A discussion with a friend inspired me to do this and even if it didn’t, I would have written it down anyway. Topic for discussion - contentment.
I think, everyone needs that in their life. They search for it but not everyone finds it. Terribly sad isn’t it? I’d hate to go through life or live everyday without having peace with myself and not having any clue what would make me happy. Which is precisely why many people often succumb to peer pressure or having to “keep up with the Jones” and the desire to be perceive as the ultimate example of a model person or family, the more that they are un-happy or un-contented.
We were saying its very much a personal battle within. It is up to us to be confident, not to look it on the outside but to feel and actually feel confident even if we are flawed in the eyes of our peers. When you exude confidence, people will notice. It is automatic, there is not need to flaunt it with a flashy car or designer clothes. A blind person can be fully confident with themselves without looking for it simply because he truly believe in himself.
The sad thing is, the majority of society would not and won’t accept the fact that every individual is different, in circumstance and personality. Lets face it, there will always be someone driving a nicer car or earning a higher income. No need to beat yourself over it or need to prove that you can have it all too when in fact, you don’t.
That is the main problem with these individual isn’t it? They derive contentment from having to be perceived as doing just as well or even “better” than their peers. Perhaps, when you are in school, its called healthy competition but if you continuously doing it all through out your life, thats verging on pathetic. Life is not a tennis competition where you are expected to “beat” your opponent. Sadly, that is how people choose to live their life.
For me, I am as happy as a lark…lol..All I need is someone to tell me what in god’s name is elliptical
