The Black Screen
Life Experiences July 27th, 2010We have a personal computer in our house. The monitor screen is awfully bulky in its faded yellowish white casing. My spouse tells me that these are on the way out. Apparently, most users prefer the portable and trendier looking notebooks these days.
Anyhow, I am glad that I have this pc at my beck and call. It performs the basic functions of type, cut and paste very well. And that was enough to keep me happy.
One fine day, my spouse came back with a black screen. It sure looked like a sexy siren to me compared to our current screen. It was sleeker and slimmer.
I present to you the latest technology. This is the Samsung LCD flatscreen.
In ten minutes flat that same night, my spouse had switched the monitors. I was secretly ashamed of myself. All I saw was a mass of entangled wires, the thick layer of dust and much cleaning up to do before the monitors could be changed.
That same week, I started sending my children to piano classes.
For years I’ve procrastinated. The excuses were many and plausible; there was no piano at our home, the fees chargeable were too expensive, the boys were too young.
Even so, I had a deep desire for my children to embrace music as part of their lives. But for reasons unexplainable, I felt much resistance and had never made piano lessons a reality until recently.
I am sure the monitor- change prompted me to take a step forward.
My spouse made the change look so easy. His easygoing approach towards changed prompted me to take action. And I too, embraced change as a friend.
Now, my two elder boys attend piano classes once a week.
And I hope, you too, my friend will make the change you had always wanted to change today.
Cheers! And have a good week ahead.
