MacBook, Excellence and Change?

MacBook, Excellence and Change?

In an ongoing effort to be excellent, I bought a MacBook on Saturday.

Friends and colleagues have told me for years that Apple computers are way beyond a Microsoft Windows Internet experience. 

I thought, “How different could it possibly be“?

In a nutshell, here’s why I went Apple. 

Intuition!

After recent “pressure” from a few friends and some simple Disney continuous improvement tactics, I determined that hands down, the iPhone is my next phone.

When I started to see gigantic differences between an Apple iPhone and other phones, I took a quick look at Apple computers.   Know what my first reaction was?

WOW!

Expensive?  

Yes.

Cheaper options?

Yes.

Than why?

This is one of those times where I think to myself, “If I have to explain it to you, you won’t understand“.

While Apple’s market share is pale compared to Microsoft, it won’t be forever.

MacBook, Excellence and Change?   Damn straight!

Change yourself to change the world?

I went to the Apple store yesterday.   It intrigues me that Apple has forged a path, different then the status quo.

This challenges me to learn about Apple or not learn about Apple.   I have choosen to learn.

It dawned on me that the secret to success is having the right attitude.  And that the right attitude can be significantly influenced when there is a compelling reason.

Being a role model to my family is very compelling to me.   The moral – never stop learning.  Find a way to keep pushing your understanding, without sacrificing your core, your root values.

Mac Daddy?

Heading to the Apple Store today.

Why?

To look at potentially getting an Apple computer.   A Mac.

Why?

Why not?

With an eight-year old who looks at technology the same way he looks at air and water – breathing and drinking – it’s just a no-brainer that I should embrace technology, understand technology, and use technology, like he will when he gets older.

Ya with me?   No time to fear.  Only time to learn and grow.   Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
