Follow your Initial Goal

Coming back to pour out a bit more of what's going on in my head.

So many times have I always felt that listening to what my parents said would lead me to a happy future. Don't get me wrong, they teach lessons to help you stay safe, in this comfort zone, but they have never really taught me to really find out what I love to do.

Lately, all I've been getting from them are demands of going back to school, even though I have already received my bachelors degree in exercise science. As much as I find college important, I feel that it's more important to realize what it is that you want.

Elliot Hulse with more on following what you feel is right.

Don't focus on what others say leads to happiness. 

Find out for yourself, what makes you happy.

This is all I have for now, and in a few hours, I will be heading out to something that I had always kept stuck in the back of my mind when I was in college, but never acted on it due to the fact that I cared too much of what my entire family thought of it.

Just remember you will be happy knowing that you had tried, rather than thought of "what if."

Speech is Valuable Part 2

The more and more I spend time with the new friends I've made after moving to California, the more and more I see that people only live life through their phones and other forms of social media.

I have mentioned in a previous post that people take communication for granted.

I just feel that we are losing the human factor in our lives and care too much of what others want to think and do.

Live life by doing, and not by viewing. It's so cliche to say it, but you really get a better sense of appreciation through experience.

• Seeing nature at its finest is great through pictures is fun, but it pales in comparison to the actual feel of taking hikes and biking long trails.
• There is great eye candy to be seen with all the food posts people put up of what they've eaten, but why not learn the beauty that is cooking.
• Getting laughs from e-cards from friends is entertaining, but what about actually spending time with friends rather than artificially through social media.

I don't mean in anyway to drop any form of social media you have, but rather take time to venture and experience life.

Technology advancements were made to help make life simpler and help give us more of what we want. Time.

Go out and do more, and live life.

Define Your Passion: Technology

Linus Sebastian and one of his tech videos

Getting to my next passion, I will talk about the reasons for why I love technology.

Technology plays a major part of my life, not because of the things I do with it, but mainly with how it will contribute to the future.

Focusing on what it does for me just helps to make living a whole lot more enjoyable:

• You can be more efficient
• Organized (no more paper files)
• Ways of keeping in touch
• Creates more ways of entertainment
• but mainly to simplify living

These are a few of the smaller views of why technology is something I've grown to love. 

But truly what it is that makes technology important to me that I think others should see, is that it is a very important part of living because it is always advancing. I try my best to keep up with the latest and greatest, not because of it being the hottest thing out there, but because I don't ever want to find myself left behind.

How often do you see people slowing down or have a disruption in their workflow all because they didn't know how to use a particular piece of equipment or what something does. My parents for one are always having difficulty with payments because they refuse to learn how to do online payments. In no way is it bad, but from time to time, they find themselves sadden at the fact they do not know how to work a new blu-ray player.

This man has incredible understanding of how several pieces of computer hardware work and the in's and out's of almost every component that I've wished to handle. And I don't mean like those youtube reviewer such as Marques Brownlee, John from TLDtoday, or those people who just talk about why they like a particular product but don't really understand how it works. I'm talking about legitimately knowing how something runs and what makes it tick.

For me technology runs most of what we do and what we have to use. 

I favor technology and learning more on it because of the fact that it is becoming more of a necessity each day.

I've built a few machines in the past, but the one I only took pictures of was the one I had build for my dad.

A simple microATX case

A quad-core AMD processor

BIOstar Motherboard

Noctua Heatsink

The heatsink and fans help keep temps at an all time low

2 solid state drives for ultra fast boot times and access

All components installed

The main reason behind even bothering to make this for him was because, I disliked the fact that he was always given a hand me down computer from his work. I wanted to give him something future proof and would run extremely fast while staying cool and quiet. He deserved something better than just outdated machines.

I love technology and what they have given us. I will strive to continue working hard so that I can keep building and keep learning about all there will be to know on tech.
