This morning, I uninstalled (BBM) BlackBerry Messenger
And to me, that was an eye-opener
I remember few years back,
It was the most sought-after
(At least, in the country I was at the time)
You were highly regarded if you carried a BlackBerry phone,
Even if it wasn't your own
At most, every 10 minutes you would hear the PING tone
The news carried guys who committed all sorts of crime to buy a BlackBerry phone
I heard of girls who sold their bodies for the same thing
I'm sure, when they look back at those days
They won't be proud of what once made them "fly"
The lessons for me are...
Things don't last forever
Whatever it is you can't reach legitimately,
Let it go and let it come organically
Do all you can while you can
Because time and season changes
When the season is favourable for you,
Do not step on toes and
Do not burn bridges, it could transport some help at a later time!

In Western world, blackberry was not a big deal few years back I guess. But in some other parts of the world, young people did all sort to get themselves one. Looking back today and seeing that the phone is almost not recognized again.
