Where do "gym-goers" want to park?

It is amazing how some people go to the gym and look/wait to park their vehicle as close to the gym as possible. Yet, is it not the whole point of going to gym to exercise?

Food for thought!

Avoid laptop/computer crash

Simple considerations can save you time and hassle restoring your laptop.
  • When you turn off, hibernate, and/or close the laptop lid, wait until your laptop completely turns off and/or hibernates.
  • Waiting for couple seconds until your laptop is off and/or hibernated, allows your laptop to completely stop the spinning disk, which is the common cause of computer crashes and/or boot error(s). 
    • Reason: since hard-disk continues to spin and read data until it is completely stopped, slight movement of computer can cause the disk to misread information that causes boot error and/or alike errors.
    • Unless: you have a Solid State Disk (SSD), which is a flash based hard-disk.

Not worth deceiving

My grandfather used to remind me about things that are not worth deceiving myself: education & labor.
  1. Education - if I trick myself or take an easy route in just getting an "A" in class, I will suffer down the road.
  2. Labor (pertaining farming, fixing and etc.) - if the job is poorly done, it will not harvest.
Cheating in education and/or labor, is cheating in our future.
