Anyway, for one reason or another it didn't happen (c'est la vie and all that), and I came home to Cornwall. But, through the years, I've made some little attempts to follow through with my plans to learn "computer". I'm pretty competent in using programmes now but I always felt that there was something missing. Oh, I can change hard drives, memory, cmos batteries, fix email problems and re-install windows. But opening up the side of computer always left me feeling that I wanted to know more, which is partly the reason why I'm now doing a CompTIA A+ course in computers. I want to learn about the "innards". The other reason is that being qualified as a computer technician would allow me to travel the world because it's an area of increasing demand.
I read somewhere, once, that the difference between a goal and a dream is action. After all, goals without actions are just dreams. Sometimes, life gets in the way and goals are set aside. I think that if that happens, and the goal is really what you want, then it will happen at the right time. It's having the patience to wait, and to just keep trying.
