Do you believe that life is like a computer? Well, I believe it. I was taken
a deep breath and thought of the question: “How come life is like a computer?” Many
words stuck on my mind and I can’t concentrate myself how to begin in writing
my ideas. Maybe I should define life first. What is life for me?
Life is an essential gift from God. It is difficult to define life and
my description is simple. I found an interesting definition of it in the
internet. According to Ellis, et. al. (1992) “Life is
indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in
order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do
better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced
largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our
nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.”
Life is so hard but I don’t complain. It’s just like on how to use
computer but then I know how to use it. Many people don’t know how to use computer
for they are not used to technology of our generation. Back to my question of
how come that life is like a computer.
A different part of the computer has its own task to make its objective.
Like people, also has its own objectives in life and attain our own goals. Following
rules and regulations is like carefully handle life for we don’t want to
receive failures. Being clumsy may result to errors which can give us problems.
Fixing a problem is not easy just as in the computer. It takes time of
troubleshooting. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem
so that it can be solved, and so the product or process can be made operational
again. We want our life to be good and free from hardships.
Challenges we face are hard but we’re like giving up and afraid to fail.
We have many errors and failures for we are not perfect. Complications and
misunderstandings lead us to a chaotic nature of our mind. Many viruses enter
our life to destroy ourselves and make our life miserable. I hate that things
but I must accept whatever comes to my life. It just challenges to test us for
becoming brave, having courage and never giving up. We are like players to
fight for anything. We fight to protect our love ones and to protect ourselves.
I hope I can click “Help” on the computer so that someone will accompany me of
fighting those viruses which I am referring to my challenges.
Days passed by, I want to go home just like want to press “Home” then
rest for awhile. Being a student is good but sometimes I am tired to face the challenges
that have given to me. I don’t want my life to cause any trouble or any
foolishness. The rain poured down one night and then I pause for awhile to
reflect. Remembering the High School Musical 1 and sang while listening the
noise of the rain. One of the songs of the movie was “Start of Something New”
which I recalled and wanted to do it someday. I am not ready to change because
I find time to do it properly. One day, I ready to start of something new and
again life is like a computer. It doesn’t mean I want to change because I want
to be like somebody or copy someone’s attitude or personality, but to repair
myself. As Bob Frankston said, “Reusing pieces of code is like picking off
sentences from other people’s stories and trying to make a magazine article.” I
don’t want to be like that. Don’t be a copier. Now, I deleted my bad attitudes
and ugly memories of mine. I started opening new documents which symbolizes my
refreshing days and stories. I want to discover new adventures by just clicking
“Enter”. I hope no viruses will attack on my journey and disturb my new file (new
life) again.
See? Life is really like a computer. It is funny but we can relate our
life from anything around us. Keep your chin up. Don’t afraid to lose something
but rather be a great warrior of all time.
