It's like apple pie!

Apple pies..... one of the many God's miracles in our lifetime. I might be exaggerating a little bit here but you have to admit that apple pies really taste good. Even apple pie made at McDonald's are pretty good albeit a far cry from good old home made cinnamon crumble apple pie with a tinge of strawberry syrup on top of it, and finally finishing it off with a warm cup of coffee or tea. You might want to check your mouth to see if you have a dribble of saliva leaking out the side of your mouth.

If you want to go get an apple pie, I'd appreciate if you finish reading my blog post first considering I brought up the craving in you, it's the least you could do right?

Enough of apple pie cravings. Let's talk about something seriously involving you, me and a metaphorical apple pie (again, please do not run off to get yourself an apple pie if you happen to see the word, "apple pie" popping out in this post frequently.....).

Alright, alright, back to the main topic.

In this digital age we live in, the flow of information is virtually limitless, branching out more and more opportunities for us to do things differently. Some wonderful examples can be seen in the world wide web - e-discounts, e-coupons, instantaneous information from a couple of clicks of the mouse, e-books, and the list goes on. It has affected us in a way that it opens up our mind to a plethora of information and mind blowing out-of-the-box opportunities.

Whilst supporters of the digital age preach trillion of opportunities, detractors claim it has made the share of profits smaller due to the increased competitiveness. In a nutshell, the number of slices in the apple pie has increased but at the same time each individual slice has become tremendously smaller than what it used to be.

So when an individual slice of apple pie becomes smaller, what would you do then?

Here's what a famous photographer, Chris Orwig said in one of his books:-"You can divide people into two categories. One category, 'Life is like an apple pie with a limited number of slices - get yours while you can.' The other category says, 'Life is like an apple pie with a limited number of slices. If you run out of slices, find another apple tree and bake another pie.'".

So life's like an apple pie! Which category would you want to be in?
