Make Meanings

“Make Meaning” 

            It might sound to be confusing and obscure but the question is, have you ever gone dreaming? Yes, of course all of us had gone through this very exciting, thrilling, electrifying, weird an awesome event or feeling that every man can experience. I found it funny and cute knowing that there are some people who really wanted to sleep and is very much agitated to take a sleep because of their dream. He or she can no longer hold the feeling of excitement (just for exaggeration!)And even when he or she wakes up, he or she would tell it to us immediately. Yeah, just like a kid, people ages like me still have this kind of feeling when we are about to sleep. But, the variation comes like this. Yes, mature or older individual still have a dream however there are differences that come across all of this and it is the criteria or the category in which our dream falls. Kids may have it happy and exciting and magical but for us, it is on the other way round. For me it is more mature, realistic, the things that we hope for or even the things that might ruin your whole night sleep. I could still remember that in our psychology class, we were taught of why human beings dream. But sad to say, I can no longer share the reason why (Ugh, so sad L ). All I can say is that as far as I could remember, most our dreams are those things that we usually think, those that we want to happen or those things that we are craving to have and is always wanted. What now for those people who usually dreams about reaching out, for those who dream about helping those who are in need? These are all examples of a dream for most mature people. I should say that it is better than those who dream about useless and nonsense things such as the ability to have a power and those magical stuffs. I believe that it is only good for children both in physical and in mind but for those who are only young at heart, I guess it is not a good idea.

Now on the other hand let us talk the mature like stuff. By this time let me ask you a question. How does it feel to be like alone, to live without a dream, to live with out goals or shall we generally say, to live with out LIVING? What I mean here is that living without a purpose and with out meaning. I believe that it depends on how we see life and on how we perceive our future. Good for those who dream and see life as a purpose to be pursued but unfortunate for those who see it as a saddle and a burden to carry. I guess in every 10 active individuals, there are at least 3 of which has the same kind of situation. They wake up, eat, doing nothing but ending up exhausted then sleep. I personally is a very big dreamer. I mean, I dream a lot for me and for my family. I always thought of becoming who I want to be and to live my life with a purpose and a whole lot more of experience. Just as I thought that there exist a kind of person whose so naïve, and is not fund of thinking about the future and plan for the best. Actually, in my whole life, I admit that I got lags in helping to make meaning with my family.

            I believe that we live not for ourselves rather, we live for others. In this way, it is assumed that we have the responsibility among the people and that includes everyone we get acquainted with. It includes your family, you friend, your boss, your neighbor, your crush, your enemy, your love one or me. It incorporates all sort of people that may also help you in any other way you or shall I say we ourselves can benefit. WE already know that we are living in earth and in science; we can relate it to a simple ecosystem with a symbiotic relationship. “No man is an island” and so therefore man can’t live with out the other. In this way, technopreneurship holds fast the service that a single individual can offer and that is the best of the best.

In one of our elective classes, it is being stressed out that we can no longer invent technology; we can never invent another thing such as technology since it is already existing. In fact we are enjoying it already nowadays. But, what we can do especially in our generation which is the generation X, we can innovate and continue to innovate for a better and better development of a single and complex technology that we can achieve. True indeed! Technology is there already and we have nothing to do with it. Let us just leave it as simple as that but let us not stop on developing and mounting its rise. Now, through this advantage and versatility, it is not that impossible to share it with others and make our responsibility among other people possible. In this way we can help for the benefit of the community as well as for the good of the people who are employed. Just like the video presentation that we viewed, I now suppose and believe that everything is not about money and money can’t do everything. Each has its own frontier to move on and surpass. I just had a thought that what if you already had the best business, the best management and the best services. If a business fails, we often blame it to the kind of management the company or the business had experience. Now again, shall we talk about what is management. From the word itself, it refers to the word managing, a process of doing something to be able to attain the thing that you are wanting and I believe that it is to be done through a rigid form organizing a multiple and a series of plans. Management could also be said that it is being directed by a manager that makes everything possible for a project to work and succeed. In management I can also say that there are a lot of hard works and labors that lies along with it. When we say management, it is a general term used in every business and is indeed vital for its growth and development. We already had a review about what management is, now let me continue my sharing. Again, in that case, what if it is added with an affordable price and everything is of good quality. But what if even though you almost have al of this things but the users or the consumer could not be able to handle it and does not have the enough amount of money so to be able to acquire that services. Well, I guess it would really be a waste and a trash.

This thing that I am saying and sharing is all about us in helping our community to have its very own benefit when we are to put up a business. It might be that even if we have the consumer and yet they could not visit the business due to some sort of uncertainties. It might be an accident, an unexpected happening or many other else. That is also I thank Guy Kawasaki for remembering me that in order for us to serve others and help them, what we can do first as a technopreneur is to make our living as easy and as accessible as it could. I can still remember his face the very moment he uttered the words on how to help out others and that is to lessen the burden and eradicate those things that makes every people suffer and that is through the phrase, “Make a wrong right or Right a wrong”. Glad as I was, it made me realize that it could not only help those people whom we intend to help but as well as in developing a good, effective and efficient entrepreneur. In this way, the businesses will be patronized by many and for that each person involved in the process both benefited. (Walang lugi!). It should not be mistaken that in life whether we like it or not we both live in an ecosystem where we should all exert our efforts for us to live and survive.

Now, shall we all talk about it generally?

“Make Meaning” For me it is how you understand it. This is such a broad topic to discuss and I think that it comprises the totality of how you consider and accept your life and the changes that is happening to it. At present, I am really moved by what Guy Kawasaki shared to young adults like me. He made us think for a better way of putting p a business and he also teaches us that business is not all about money. Honestly, I am  very happy to know that successful people like him have the heart to help and is concern basically for others welfare not just only for him. It is of this appreciation that I felt since, for the previous documentaries and videos that I had seen, it is just only few who initiated a business out of this manly act. As I could remember, most of those successful individuals who succeed in the field of technopreneur is motivated to develop a business out of their own love, of their own interest and others even had it out of competing others just to show it the world that he is greater than the other. Thus, it all ended up futile and the business that they have is futile and only benefits for individuals like them who just wanted to show off and let everyone knows that I am like this and that because I have this and all of that. It is never my intension here to hurt or criticize and neither to accuse others. I know for the fact that business man our good and they only want the best for the people they are serving. It just only for a fact that somehow in some other people in which they render their service, they created a certain feeling where they let those who does not know or buy the service or product that they are elite and of high class. Money is not about everything and again everything is not about money. I don’t know why I am saying this but it is for reality and it hurts to see this fact. I may sound to be ironic but also because of the advancement of technology, the gap between people grows wider and wider. For now, what builds up my mind is the plan to have and formulate that technology to help everyone be united and to be as one. No more boundaries. No more walls. Yes, I know that you can feel it somehow. This sharing of mine is true and it is really want I wanted. This is the meaning that I wanted to put up if I am to be that great entrepreneur someday. I know and I feel that I can contribute to the community by having it. For me, this is the wrong thing that I am seeing. With no harm intension, this is the sore in my eyes that impairs the totality of the whole human system and for that I wanted to make it right. This is what I love, the unity and oneness of every mankind (corny!). This is what I love. This is the way I think I can help the community. This is my way of making a wrong right. This is the way where I can have a purpose and have my own meaning. GOD BLESSES US ALL J
