There is always time for a good talk and there must be always time for thinking about it after a while.
In some talks with friends the other day we got to the topic of our TV consumer characteristics. This was really funny. A lot of difference and a lot of different people. It seemed to me like TV had lost a lot of importance for people of my age and that the folks older than I am are more finding their fun and entertainment in sitting in front of the television set. Talk was flying around advertising and music and how all was done earlier in the dark age of “before-the-web” and even “before-the-computer”. When I was asked about things going on in my house I had to admit 2 things:
• I am completely addict to TV
• I am not sitting at the TV over the last months, but a lot in front of the computer.
The first question was: Where is the difference ? Actually: I could not answer it in this moment. Felt too much different and the same at the same moment.
Later on, after coming home and starting the computer after dinner I thought it over again. And the simple answer was, that it is not about any difference. It is a cultural thing and has to do with goals and experience in your life. My goal at the moment is, for me privately spoken a simple one: improvement, growth, happyness (mainly) and being entertained by entertaining. If this leads to an extra income or more contact via Twitter @olibrecht or being found by friends or other people on Facebook oliverbrechtschorndorf : it shall be. But what I do NOT want at the moment: Sitting just on the sofa and not using the abiltites that I have for development of myself in any way. People might argue now: This can be a disadvantage, if one sees what you are doing on the web. Well, if its not useful I will not do it. I am quite well able to keep a high level of quality and a big focus on proper placed content. This of course at the moment is mainly self-produced. So I can guarantee best control over what is done, and what is not done. If then anyone is not ok with it: give it a go. They might contact me and things can be sorted out or explained or they stay quiet and I am fine with it. But not showing is “not doing” and fate will not knock on your door for doing nothing. So I do the max that I can in any perspective in my life with the max number of social contacts and points of “touch” so at least the probability to succeed in one or the other way is at highest level in relation to the effort made. And in the end: It is entertaining, improves my general and specific knowledge and improves my way of handling text content and the english language apart ftrom daily phone calls or 140 signs of daily mutliple tweets. First result: I am self-made top 10% of active Twitter users and still growing and improving. I learn by reading tutorials and exchanging knowledge with people around the globe. Short said: Social Media. The rest is the commercial impact of it at some time. And as long as no one proves me wrong I am convinced that this is only a matter of time. And what I learned most out of the success and even the throw-back situation in the last 2 years: All that counts to get forward is PERSISTENCE and the will to fight and work harder than others for your goals.

Writing things like this and all the other things are my substitute for TV evenings. Now I will watch some Youtube videos on the PS3. ❤ Maybe yours as well…..
