Technology, Boon or Bane? As you move onward through the years, you will likely be thinking about what you will be in the future. Technologies have been developed nowadays and expect more on the next generation. It is a modernized world yet a modernize technology has been existing. But what is meant by the word Boon and Bane? Boon means benefits or favorable, while Bane is destruction or source of harm or ruin. How is technology related to these words? I can say that technology is Boon because Science and Technology have helped us to progress, like machines that have been doing much of our work. We know that it makes our work easier and faster. There were so many benefits and it is favorable by men who are living in the modern technological world. Countries that are brought by technology have been developed their economic progressive. It is one of the benefits of a country because it is a big help in fast growing country. Bane, in a sense that it causes much destruction and also cause of deaths in some cases because of these technologies. Have you ever stopped to wonder what causes the natural phenomena such as thunderstorm, earthquakes, hurricanes, flashfloods and global warming? It’s because of these modern technologies. These are the effects of having a modernized technological country. Our present day world is facing many challenges. We know that technology helped us in progress, but they may cause our own destruction. Pesticides, automobiles, factories and machineries have poisoned our own environment especially the air we breathe. People also become lazy because of being dependent on what technology has been brought to men. Machines are very helpful to man in doing our work but we don’t know that they will stop serving us. Not all the time or the rest of our life we are always fed by technology. Unless if we find new resources of energy to keep them going. Because of developing and inventing more technologies or what we call “hi-tech” We will expect for some destructions and deaths. We thought nuclear power would solve the energy crisis, but moreover, it can be used for bombs and missiles which cause man’s destruction and death. Yes, we believe that atomic power and scientific discoveries and inventions can sustain life, but it can also be perverted to destroy it. So now, we are beginning to realize that man-made devices can not make us fully happy and fully sustained our life that we may need to learn and derive comfort and inspirations from nature instead. We should be contented of what we have. Learn to adapt what nature gives us benefits and advantages rather than using technology that can destroy one’s life.

SIMPLY ME…. People say that everything in this world is very important and has all its meaning. Education, I believe that this is the most important factor of a person have. Because this is the only tool or weapon we can used in every cycle of our life. Every individual has its own image and a good behavior to be possessed on. And we have different characteristics and personal meaning that we should develop. Like me, I have different views about myself that everyone will never forget. I possessed this kind of characteristics that one must not forget me. And every time they will read and reminisce these attitudes I have right now, these attitudes will never be changed and all those who will always remember me will distinguish who I am. And for me, I believe in myself for this kind of attitudes I have. Like the character I have now, a person who is honest. I mean, I feel like I just have nothing to live for and if I just dropped dead, it wouldn’t affect anything. I have nothing to look forward to. All that lies in my future is what people think is “best” for me. I need to find my own identity and find my characteristics so I can know what. I would used to think that 'honesty was the best policy,' until recently. There’s so much trouble I could have avoided if only I had twisted the truth. I could have got away with so much; my life would probably be a lot better right now had I not lived by that stupid cliché. People will judge your honesty just as harshly as they will your lies. Now I know I’m the one who is always honest and open-minded. Sometimes, people said its way too much because I’m totally honest with my thoughts and actions. I showed what I thought through my actions. If I like you, I’ll just say it or if I dislike you, I’ll just say it too. To be honest I don’t care much about dishonest people. I don’t associate with dishonest friends. If you are in my circle, you would know that. I’m real online and offline. I’m not blaming anything about being anonymous, it’s your preference. What I mean to say is even though you are anonymous; you should be honest to your friends here. Or, at least just be honest to yourself. That's it. Another is being kind to others. A good person is filled with kindness. They plant seeds that help others thrive. The kind person offers of themselves to others. They don't wait until a catastrophe strikes, but practice kindness in everyday life. They recognize needs in others without having to be asked to step in and help. Their conscience doesn't allow them to neglect others. They don't just help within their comfort zone, but are willing to make sacrifices. This is what I possessed and I believe in myself that I can stand for what I say and do what I promised. Forgiving is another one. Forgiveness is a characteristic of a good person. They let go of resentment, the anger and bitterness. They don't allow toxins to overshadow joy in their lives and the joy they can offer to others. They unfold a loving heart without seeking revenge. They aren't a door mat to be walked on, but realize we all make mistakes. And that is true. Because I believe in the saying that goes this way, “NOBODY IS PERFECT” Respectful is the most define and important attitude that a person should possess. A good person respects others, but this respect is derived from respect for them. They value their own worth, their own feelings as well as others. They listen attentively because your thoughts and feelings matter. They open their mind to diversity in thoughts and opinions without making you feel lesser or judging unfairly. They may not agree with you, but they handle differences, respectfully. And I have this one, wherein I believe that this attitude is the one who completes my body and soul. So, for us to be recognized by the other people and the person who loves us, we should show them this kind of attitudes. For them to know what is our significance to them and what we have contributed to them as a part of their life. That is the essence of being a part of one’s life.
