Ever feel like an idiot when you attempt something new? Well, when it comes to my computer, I get this feeling often. I am in the beginning stages of a website design and I am not even close to being proficient at using the wordpress software. In fact, this is the first time I have used it. I feel so inadequate when I attempt most things that are technology based; especially when there are countless twenty-somethings who are old enough to be my children and seem to "get it". Despite my struggles, my love is in computers and technology. I really enjoy working on my computer after I get through all the feelings of inadequacy.
I am what you might call a late bloomer when it comes to technology. In fact, I didn't even start a computer until I was in my thirties. Well, I am now forty-six and can honestly say that I have just scratched the surface with this whole computer thing. The fascinating thing about computers is that the more I learn about them, the more I realize what I have yet to learn. When all is said and done, I have a lot of fun with the little rascals. Using my computer helps me keep my brain active. It seems I learn something new everyday when either I explore the internet and many types of software myself or someone teaches me something they know.
Life is a huge learning curve so the best thing for me to do is to remember to not compare myself with anybody else and just learn at my pace. I can't expect to have a gorgeous website without learning how to build it properly. Everything takes time and the best things in life are certainly worth waiting for. This can translate to all areas of my life. I am here to learn and treat myself and others with respect and dignity.
Peace
Check this out! I thought it would be a cool, creative example of ingenuity.
