The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

Stop whinging people and start thanking !

People often like to complain....whinge, whinge, whinge. Sometimes I wish I had a voice recorder going so people can hear themselves back. The other thing I notice a lot is how people love to discuss tragedy and bad news... I think there should be a channel on T.V and radio dedicated to good stuff, providing a tonic or remedy to help even out the flow of bad news that we are flooded with.
Anyway I have decided to write about a couple of things that I am truly thankful for.

1 : I have been meaning to mention this for a while.... SKYPE : Thank you, thank you a billion times thank you. SKYPE keeps me in free regular contact with my family and friends by text, voice and video (and cheap phone calls and text messages to phones). The world is a much smaller place thanks to you. Living so far away from my loved ones becomes much easier with regular contact.

and today

DELL COMPUTERS : I have had Dell computers for a few years now and never had any problems. My last laptop is still under warranty (just) and it has been playing up quite a bit lately. After talking with technicians and being guided through some very useful ways to update, diagnose and fix problems...they decided to have a look for themselves. They sent a technician to my house and he completely pulled my laptop to pieces, put in a brand new motherboard, fan and heat sensor, sync thingy?
He has also ordered new speakers as mine don't seem to be playing loud enough and someone will come again on Monday to fit them.
So to Dell....BIG THANKS !
