We now live in a modernize society that allows us stay connected to each other 24 hours-a-day, seven days a week, and 52 weeks a year. Emails have become such an essential way of communication and staying connected, that in fact, many of us have a hard time staying away from email for more than a day or so.

In a recent article published by the New York Times, president –elect Barack Obama many soon have to give up not only his Blackberry, but all email correspondence as well one he become president.

Like for Obama — just as it would be for many of us — that is a huge sacrifice. In fact, some of us might opt not to become president if we had to stop email, Instant Messaging, Facebook/MySpace messages, texting and the works. What about you?

Could you give up email for five years? How about for 2 weeks?

And if you have done it, what have your experiences been?

I’d love to hear your experiences! Share in the comments.

What do you do if you have a dream, but everyone around you keeps telling you to be more realistic and to give up the dream? What if they want you to pursue a more “sensible” and traditional career route?

It’s perfectly natural to have doubts in life. We all have doubts, and they unavoidable. And sometimes,it’s good to be realistic, because you need to be able to analyze whether a dream is achievable or not.

You ignore them. You shut out the naysayers, and you stay focused on your dream.It’s the only way. Because in our lives, we will always have naysayers, we will always have negative people, and if we listen to them, we will never pursue our dreams.

If newly elected US President - Barack Obama had listen to all the naysayers he wouldn’t accomplish something that no other African-American could of accomplish, by becoming the first African-American to be voted as the President of United States of America.
