“Did You Know? The progress of information technology.
I’m fairly certain I’ve posted this before, but it’s worthy of an encore.”
Very very interesting video indeed! Data shared were very enlightening and informative. Starts with a question: “Did you know?”.
With all this encompassing technology burst, one-click information sharing, breakthroughs, non-stop expansion, exponential growth, non-stop chasing for information aggregation, hosting, processing, lightning-fast delivery and eye-popping world population stats —- the clip ends with an abstract: “What does this all mean?”
I asked a similar parallel philosophical question myself several years ago: Where will all these lead to? In fact I asked something worse: Do all these make sense after all? Seemingly it is a chasing after the wind as the book of Ecclesiastes shares. And I remembered that I just became more anxious and perplexed with endless questions..
No wonder now, the clips says Google registers 31 billion searches per month. The outpouring of queries itself propels the need for continuous information and answers.
Well my philosophical query became a spiritual resolve with much more meaningful appreciation. Rick Warren’s Purpose-driven Life book was a breather. It gave a fuller perspective. No wonder the book sold so many millions to mirror and answer several millions who had questions: scientists, students, doctors, businessmen, celebrities, magnates, poor people, across borders, ages, genders and so on.
I just stopped asking when I started trusting and believing not from my mind and eyes but from my heart. Everything starts and started with God, and shall end according to His purposes … as I paraphrase from Colossians 1:16.

About me
Firstly, the photo displayed for my profile is not my picture. I chose it though to always remind myself have an attitude of thanks and praise to our dear Lord Jesus Christ.At my age of past 50 years, I could not stop but pause, look up with thanksgiving how gracious and loving our God is. Everytime I open my eyes every morning and see that I breathe free air that comes from Him, I can’t stop saying thank you Lord for this life you have lent and extended me that I have so often taken for granted in the past.
I see my wife and 2 daughters and I can’t help but say thanks further Lord for my family. Then the rest of the family, relatives, friends come across my mind that all the more add up towards an attitude of appreciation.
I act like this because the past years have been the lowest points in my business and corporate life yet these are the most meaningful and joyful moments when our good Lord has enhanced my perspective, values, priorities and walk.
A dear first cousin of mine in the US, gifted me with a book called, Grace Walk Experience by Steve Mcvey, and indeed it was a walk-thru that molded and humbled me further recognizing the amazing unmerited grace that God has extend me and everyone of us who responds to His word.
Well, as I hopefully continue on blogging, re-blogging, sharing and posting with tumblr, my prayer is that I may be able to enthusiastically (which by the way, was originally taken from the greek “en-theos siasm” , meaning in God’s Spirit) talk about things from an outlook of how God wants me to see things from His perspective.
