I received this e-mail the other day. It says; “Days are too busy, Hours are too few, Seconds are too fast, but there is always time to send an e-mail to a precious friend like you !!” How amazing!
We always whinge that we do not have enough time. We are unable to catch up with friends and relatives. We are always busy, busy and busy. So we lost contact with friends and we do not communicate with them for long period. Sooner or later, that friendship fades into the distance.
Thanks to the advancement in technology, we now have the latest telephone, the e-mail (or the incoming G-mail), the Internet with its messages facility, chat room and above all, the blog for us to communicate more effectively and efficiently.
So what holds us back in communicating with each other? If we have nothing special or anything fantastic to blog about, what is the difficulty of sending a simple e-mail just to say hello? It only takes a few seconds and you might make a big different to the person receiving the e-mail. Are we using time or lack of time as an excuse to live our lives in our own cocoons?.
