So you want a real shot at happiness, my friend? If so, here’s a little secret that will get you on the right path: learn to accept things, good and bad. Revel in whatever brings you pleasure, but try not to rebel against whatever it is you dislike. Why? Simply because that really doesn’t help bring about satisfaction… much the other way around.
Okay, before you start thinking I’m going on one of those philosophical rants, I’ll get you a clear-cut example to illustrate my reasoning. Computer software. That’s something we all can relate with, right? And if you’re browsing this specific blog, there’s a good chance you’re the technical type, and you work with all kinds of software on a daily basis, same as myself. Now, as much as I enjoy using computer software, I very much dislike the process on installing software, and in more than one occasion I’ve gone berserk in the process of doing computer maintenance.
Oh, how I crave for simpler and friendlier installation wizards that don’t command you to take them through step-by-step, hand in hand. You may think I’m going overboard here, but just so you know… well, part of my job functions revolve around installing software such as Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise in hunreds (if not thousands) of computers all at once. And usually that really isn’t the piece of pie it may sound at first impression. And least it wasn’t, not until I found out this little gem. Curious? Clicky forwardy and find out!
