I’m sitting in front of my
desktop, working on my files and emails. But things have
changed these days. “Social media” has swept its magic broom in our
offices, cleaning up anything that’s old and out of date and has
replaced our age old technique of working styles. I almost space out every-time a discussion occurs in our offices. With the fast pace of our technology, I almost feel as if I have taken ten years step behind my
younger peers. They happen to be ahead of me in terms of efficiency
and technical abilities.
I haven’t even started using a
"Facebook", but my younger peers have more than 3 social media accounts
and thriving really fast. I’m starting to feel like I'm getting too
old for my industry.
What happened to the old ways of
writing a letter to your loved ones, that held much deeper value? What
happened to newspapers delivered on the doors steps?
But, I’m determined not to let
these assumptions get into my head. I guess there is always time and
space for re-inventing yourself. There is no stopping for those who
desire to learn and renew themselves everyday.
Old is not the issue here, but
being ready to renew ourselves, is the vital question. Because
everyone is going to get old and their tricks are going to fade away
anyway.
So knowing this and simply
appreciating the change and embracing it will help us move on show a better perspective of life. Hope you find this meaningful, and helps you in some way.
