Things come at their suitable time!




"Things come at their suitable time"...as the saying goes.

How do you ‘un-bold’ a word? I asked my son. Such an easy task for those who know MS Word!

Almost three years ago, I moved to U.S. as an immigrant with my children to join my husband. To navigate life in US, one has to learn computer. At midlife, learning computer seemed not so easy. In my native country I held a mid-level career position; somebody did the word processing and other computer requirements for me like PowerPoint presentation.

I have to learn everything here. It was difficult. What could be the easiest thing for my youngest son is painstaking for me. He always seemed in a hurry to teach me. He would click and click, which I could hardly follow.

So I bought some books on computer and did some self-study. It was liberating! Learning computer at your own pace is a breeze. I have learned MS Word, Power Point, Excel, Access and MS Publisher. Now, I have some working knowledge on building webpages.

Not only that, I have my own blog, and very soon, a website.

In the meantime, I am thinking of my personal avatar for my entry into the Web2 Second Life!!!!

It is never too late to learn new things!
