I still vividly recall my days as an English as a Second Language student 30 years ago, embarking on the journey of learning to use a computer. Just before the war erupted in my home country, my company had procured two computers for us, where we were tasked with learning how to operate and use accounting software. Unfortunately, the war forced me to leave the country for a safer place.
Six years later, I arrived in Canada, and one of my first lessons was an introduction to using a personal computer. Our teacher emphasized the importance of not venturing into the unknown. Over time, I've acquired significant knowledge and skills in this area. I can still recall how challenging it was initially, and it's a reminder of how the seemingly complex can become second nature with learning and practice.
In addition to computer literacy, I also reflect on moments in my life when fear gripped me, especially during difficult circumstances. I often pondered whether I was born in the wrong era. Recently, I've been contemplating the idea that life is a continual journey of learning and self-improvement. Even in my late fifties, I find myself wrestling with the quest for unconditional love. Throughout my life, I've faced numerous challenges that once led me to question myself. However, I now understand that many events are beyond our control and are experiences that everyone must navigate.
In the past, I used to blame myself when things went awry. Today, I recognize that often, it has nothing to do with me; it's just the way life unfolds. What held great significance for me in the past has now transformed into valuable lessons learned. Life progresses and we move forward. Time races by, and there remains much more to discover and ample room for personal growth. I eagerly anticipate reaching higher levels of consciousness and look forward to the possibility of experiencing telepathic conversations, a connection that seems to have been muted and disconnected. I hope to have the privilege of living long enough to reach that stage.

Razmišljanja o Životnom Putovanju: Od Učenja Računala do Bezuvjetne Ljubavi
Još uvijek živo pamtim dane kada sam prije 30 godina bila učenik engleskog kao drugog jezika i kada sam krenula na put učenja korištenja računala. Neposredno prije nego što je izbio rat u mojoj domovini, moja je tvrtka nabavila dva računala za nas, gdje smo bili zaduženi za učenje rada i upotrebu računovodstvenog softvera. Nažalost, rat me prisilio da napustim zemlju i potražim sigurnije mjesto.
Šest godina kasnije, stigla sam u Kanadu, a jedna od mojih prvih lekcija bila je uvod u korištenje osobnog računala. Naš učitelj naglašavao je važnost neventuriranja u nepoznato. Tijekom vremena, stekla sam značajno znanje i vještine u tom području. Još uvijek se sjećam koliko je to bilo izazovno u početku, a to me podsjeća na to kako se naizgled kompleksno može pretvoriti u rutinu uz učenje i praksu.
Osim informatičke pismenosti, razmišljam i o trenucima u mom životu kada me obuzimao strah, posebno tijekom teških okolnosti. Često sam razmišljala jesam li rođena u pogrešnom razdoblju. Nedavno sam počela razmišljati o tome da je život neprestano putovanje učenja i samopoboljšanja. Čak i u svojim kasnim pedesetima, suočavam se s potragom za bezuvjetnom ljubavlju. Tijekom života suočila sam se s brojnim izazovima koji su me nekad dovodili do pitanja o sebi. Međutim, danas shvaćam da su mnogi događaji izvan naše kontrole i iskustva kojima se svi moramo nositi.
U prošlosti sam krivila sebe kada bi stvari krenule nizbrdo. Danas prepoznajem da to često nema veze samnom; to je samo način na koji se život odvija. Ono što je nekad imalo veliku važnost za mene sada se pretvorilo u vrijedne lekcije naučene. Život se razvija, mi idemo naprijed. Vrijeme leti, a ima još mnogo toga za otkriti i dovoljno prostora za osobni rast. S nestrpljenjem očekujem dosezanje viših razina svijesti i radujem se mogućnosti doživljavanja telepatskih razgovora, veze koja se čini utišanom i prekinutom. Nadam se da ću imati privilegiju doživjeti dovoljno dugo da dostignem taj stadij.
