In the past week I have read the novel Young Samurai, The way of the Sword (剣道). The main character's name is Jack and in the novel he is often called (外人) foreigner because his appearance and believes. in Jacks second year of training (武士道) Bushido - the way of the warrior, news form Edo (江戸) have reached Kyoto (京都) about Christians being killed by the samurais of the daimyo (大名) Kamakura. During his second year of training, Jack gets harassed by other students and have the threats of ninjas and the daimyo Kamakura while his competing in an ancient ritual for the school. Jack have support from his friends, however sometimes he's doubting their support and words.
The novel sometimes have Japanese words written in the text as I have earlier in this entry and I will give you the translations of them in English and Swedish later.
I think you would agree with on some things that I found in the novel which I will quote out here:
1.(On page 106) "You cannot run before you've learnt to walk."
2.(On page 220) "'...time to master.?'...'Five years'...'if I work Really hard...?'....'...Ten years'....'all my time to...?'....'Twenty years'."
This quotes are between Jack and a teacher in the novel. Starting with "1." is you can't do anything advance stuff if you don't know the basics, example: if you want to write a book then you need to know words of the language and the grammar. In quote "2." it displays the flow of time and afford to master something. The more time you put in training the thing you want to master along with devotion, the longer time you need to master it because of frustration and mistakes will create a wall in you mind that might be hard to break. Example: if you just spend the required time then a mistake would create a very thin wall and you might still think it's fun at it, but if you are only devoted to master the thing then a mistake will transform to frustration and create 30 kilometer thick wall in your mind. Wouldn't it be better to have a 20 centimeter thick wall rather than 30 kilometer thick wall for one mistake. It takes longer time to get back if you let the frustration control you and it might push you to quit and never attain it. I think it's better to mastering it in short time and have fun and from there I can support other people, may be as a second teacher that might help them understand. To those who nags their children to be as others in young age and school grades, stop and think ´what can I do to help them towards their goals in life´ and remember that we are different from each other and let them bloom later than never. I myself blossomed as late as in junior high school in studies and that helped to where I'm now.

Why things break
Over the years of our inventions, we often face the fact that they break down.
Computers, they are sensitive to dust and falls. What I mean is that they can get slower just by gendering up dust in the hard drive area. There is a fan in the hard drive just to clear it from dust but it's only active when the computer is running. If the computer is in stand by mode or turned off, the fan won't work because they program tells it to switch off to save energy.
If you feel the heat right next to the computer or you hear the fan blowing for a long time without pause, it's time to clean it.
When you are going to clean the computer form dust, it's important to have the computer turned off, if you don't turn it off you may destroy the fan or the inside yourself.
To clean the hard drive you can use a vacuum cleaner and a needle or a needle and an air compressor to either suck out or blow out the dust. You might now wonder "why do I need the needle to clean the computer?" The fan in the hard drive have it own rotation and if don't stop it from moving might blow or suck it out of order which would destroy the cooling and self cleaning process. The needle can stop the fan to move and it will not go out of order.
When you have done the cleaning your computer will go a little bit faster because it need less energy to the fan to clean the hard drive.
As many other divvies, computers have gotten a bit safer from breaking down by falling down, however if it falls to often, even a minor fall, could break the circuit card and the computer won't work even if it looks okay.
There is a reason computer can withstand more falls and that is the design of them. The designers have worked with how the model of the computer should take the impacts of the falls the may come in the further, but no matter how much work you put in the design, computer will break easy if it falls to often. The main reason is those minor and sometime invisible cracks and these cracks will grow bigger and bigger for each time the computer fall down to the flour. The impacts shouldn't reach the circuit card because it can't withstand them that well as the shale. With many minor cracks in the shale than the impact will sooner or later reach the circuit card and jeopardize the data and the life of the computer. Having backup copy would help you if the computer would break down and you won't lose that much data when it happens.
