Permission Slip

Permission Slip

"The Fighter" is one of my favorite movies. Great acting by everyone involved. One of the best scenes is the one where Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams sit down with his family to tell them he's going to train in Las Vegas with a new trainer instead of with his family. Wahlberg's character nervously fidgets and Amy Adams does the smack-talking. Wahlberg's character might seem like he's there to ask his parents' permission. But he doesn't need to ask for his parents' permission.  He's really there looking for validation. He doesn't get validated (hilariously) because he can't. You can't either. Sometimes when we talk  about our new ideas or plans it's because we want them to say, "That will work. No doubt." We want that validation because of the fear of failing.  It's fear of failing behind a smoke screen of "I think I might sort of.." The possibility of success creates the possibility of failure. Asking someone who cares about you to assess in a single five minute conversation whether its a good idea is a sure plan for disappointment. It's not their thing. It's your thing. Do what you wanna do.  Don't put them or yourself in that impossible situation. You don't need permission and they can't give you validation.  Hopefully you know the one or two people you can ask for real advice, but don't bring along the validation bags. Do your due diligence, ask a good advice giver for advice if necessary and then just keep moving.

The things i have seen in terms of laptop or computer memory is the fact that there are requirements such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must match up the specifications of the mother board. If the computer's motherboard is kind of current and there are no computer OS issues, improving the memory space literally requires under an hour. It's one of many easiest computer system upgrade treatments one can picture. Thanks for giving your ideas.
