It is about a young man named Umair, who has been gathering money for several months. The additional dollar he earned from tuition and part time jobs went straight to a piggy bank that had a little opening on his desk top. It began as an empty jar right to the middle up to what he thought was the empty half until the time that it slowly filled up as a symbol of his hard work and patience that consumed weeks and even months of his young life. The goal was clear: a new laptop, one that can meet his vision of using it for editing videos, video games and school assignments.
Finally, the day arrived. There was brightness in Umair’s eyes and a tone of triumph in his walk as he entered the electronics store. Entrancing appearance of the last models was very appealing, however, he did not confuse himself and had a clear vision of what he needed. Having drawn a comparison on the price and performance of the various Models on sale and a brief discussion with the attendant, he selected a Brand new laptop with an enduring processor of great performance at a cheaper price adequate to his need.
On returning back home, Umair arranged his new laptop on the top of his working table clearing all the books, reports and works in decorating the new laptop as his valuable asset. The silver sheen of the icon reflected in the light from the desk lamp when he arrived home from work, and the keys of the keyboard seemed slightly more accommodation to his touch. He depressed the power button and saw the brightness of the colorful front light illuminating and displaying words Welcome to the world of opportunity.
The first step Umair took was downloading all the relevant software that would enable him to edit his videos. Unfortunately, he had incredibly beautiful material from the mountain trip he made recently, and he could not wait to make a delicious travel blogger’s video. High definition videos are challenging for most machines, but in this particular case, the new laptop rendered high-definition videos seamlessly, much to Umair’s satisfaction with his new Laptop. There was also a drastic reduction in the time taken to render files to half of the original time He was therefore able to spend more time on the creative side of the job such as editing.
After this piece, Umair ventured into subjects related to gaming. There was an immensely loved multiplayer game that all his friends were playing he had been closely observing it. During his time, he could not even imagine joining them because of the lags, crashes his old laptop displayed. However, the now, using his new invention he scribbled into the wire world without a hardship. The graphics were incredible by and large, and the flow and motion were very good. Playing games with friends at night, Umair was immediately able to catch up with them, and therefore, late-night gaming became one of the main and the most joyous moments for them.
As much as the laptop was a handy device for him to play video games, he also benefited from it when doing his school assignments. This year was a busy year for Umair at school, full of assignments, research projects, and high school presentations. The writing, processing and storage capacity of the laptop was fast, this was good news as he was able to work with speed and also store all the files he needed in the laptop. He has also adopted new improved productivity applications that would assist him in his time management and effective achievement of planned goals.
One evening when Umair was alone at home, his younger sister Amina woke up and came to pry into the new laptop. She once was having a difficulty with a school assignment and she required help with some work on the design. Finally he was rather pleased to let her use his laptop and explain to her how one used the design programme. For a second, it became an enjoyable bonding moment between the brothers and sisters, and Umair felt good to see that she was finally able to use the new tool he bought for her.
As the months went by, a laptop became a necessary tool for completing their work in the family, especially for Umair. It is not only an appliance: it opened up a world of possibilities, discovery, knowledge, and imagination. In keeping with this line of thinking, it assisted him in maintaining contacts with friends and achieving academic success as well as discovering and pursuing personal interests. Little did Umair know that the journey that lay ahead of him, was exactly the journey that a jar which sat on his desk signified. Every coin had represented a process toward an end, and now that end was real, a part of his everyday existence that made it far more rewarding.
One day, when Umair was at his work desk, watching and editing another rickshaw video, he chuckled to himself. The investment has been a worthwhile and a wonderful experience, which was worth the effort that was invested on the same. This was more than just a possession; it was a signal of his mind-set and the eagerness to move forward and achieve greatness.
