"My Dream, and Vision"
What is the chief end of man? Westminster Shorter Catechism starts with this very simple, but at the same time very hard question. And it answers, “Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.” What is the chief end of my life? I think this answer should be also applied into this question.
First of all, my current future vision is to be a computer security manager, a computer expert who finds vulnerabilities of systems and notice the administrator of the system about it. Since I was young, Computer technology has always fascinated me. And though I once thought that it’s just one of my hobbies, now I think my computer skills are the talent that God gave me. So whatever I’ll do in my future, I’m sure that it’ll be something with computer.
Then, what am I going to do with computer? There is a project named OLPC, One Laptop per Child, which provides cheap laptops equipped with useful educational software to children in developing countries. I think projects like this can be good way of spreading gospel to people in developing countries. One of my dreams is to be involved in these projects and use my talents for God’s glory.
Right now, I don’t know what exactly I’m going to do in my future, though it should be related to computer technology. I'm now making dreams for my future. But whoever I’ll be, or whatever I’ll do, I won’t forget that my life is for the glory of God, not for me.
I think your first paragraph is great, it catches a lot of attention and made me think for a while.
ReplyDeleteI wish you wrote more specifically about how you started to take interest in computers.
How do you think you can use your gift in our school?
