It frustrates me watching my brother work a keyboard.
He is VP of operations at his company as well as manager of the IT department. To watch him type and manipulate a keyboard is nothing short of amazing. His typing speed is over 100 words per minute. Beyond that, he knows keyboard shortcuts and maneuvers I didn’t know existed. He tells me that he can do anything on a computer that can be done using the keyboard alone, no mouse necessary. If you took away my mouse, I’ve got nothing.
He frustrates me because I want to be able to do the same thing. One big difference is the amount of time each of us spends on our computers. He probably spends ten hours to every one that I do. On top of that, he just may be more talented and able. Not everyone can do what others do. No matter how badly I want it, I could never play ball like Jordan.
The frustration of dreamers is their limitations. Most of which revolve around the clock and calendar. I would love to spend the time to learn to work a keyboard like he does. I’d love to learn Spanish, French and German fluently. I’d love to learn to play the piano and guitar. I just don’t have the time. So I must make choices. Hard choices.
I remember a song my mom and dad used to listen to – you can’t have it all.
