World of Colors

Stop for a second and ask yourself, in what color do you see the world you're living in? To answer this question, let's go back to the past for a second. I would like to start with childhood, it is the greatest moments of your life. It is the fun, the excitement, the energy you live by every single day of your life. Your life is full of bright neon colors. I remember when I was a kid I was so excited to go to school just to see my friends, to play football at lunch, to gossip about the girls in the classroom, to sit around the desk with my best friend and to make fun of the teacher. These moments you can never forget, these are your best moments of your life, even getting into a fight was still fun, world was full of colors and energy. You are carefree, nothing to worry about, no bills to pay. Every morning I would wake up to, was bright and full of green, blue, yellow colors and I couldn't wait to start my day. I knew that something out there was waiting for me, some new fun. Until everything vanishes in a split of a second.

My adulthood started when I was 13 years old. The time when me and my family had to move to a different country. Suddenly, everything becomes dull and Grey. It felt like your life is entering a deep, dark tunnel with no sign of light in the end and you are all by yourself. No matter how hard you try to connect to people surrounding you every day in school, at work or even walking on the street or at a park, it seems like they don't see you, like you are transparent to them or they think you are some kind of an alien who came from a different planet. Slowly you start to understand the world around you from a different perspective, from a different point of view that you have never experienced before. The world was grey to me, you start seeing that people are careless, aggressive and blind. You notice how much the people surrounding you can't even see their own shadow. The unfortunate part of this, is that you become like them. There is a saying “Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are”. However, there is always an end to a story. You have to make a choice, do you want to live in this grey world of yours continue down the road of the dark tunnel? or do you want to see the light in the end of the tunnel? and change your mindset of how the world looks in color.

It took some time, but I finally made a choice. I decided to see the world again in beautiful colors, which led me to the road of success. I know many people think that success is about achieving a goal in life and being satisfied with what you have accomplished. Success to me, is a never ending story. You always have to thrive and set new goals in life, and every time you achieve it you have to go forward and never stop. When I started to see the world in color, things in life just became better. I met new people, positive people that motivate me every single day in becoming better than what I was. Happiness is also a big part of seeing the world in color, it is like you start enjoying every single moment you spend or experience. As a businessman, a director of couple companies and a sales representative, I decided to take the Udacity Digital Marketing Nanodegree course to improve the scope of my business, to self develop, and to have a backup in life incase it is needed.

Udacity is a great online education platform that is very convenient and affordable. Everyday, I share my experience with my coworkers and friends about my Digital Marketing course and how much it helps me to see everything from a different perspective, and makes it easier for me to cooperate with the work load I have. Udacity’s Digital Marketing Nanodegree course helped me see this world even more colorful than what it was, and I can't be more grateful enough that I took this course. So, stop for a second and ask yourself, in what color do you see the world you’re living in?
