Cellphones
Submitted by: G. R.
ChileI'm a teenager that was given a book (you guess which one)
Cellphones with touch-screen arrived to my country some years ago, and recently there’s been some kind of boom with them.
I mean, you read any tech magazine, and everything you see is lots of touch screen cellphones.
The thing is, last year i used to see this magazines and say: “ugh! did you see those cellphones? no buttons! only touch-screens… that’s gotta be so annoying!”
Well, I did so any time I got to see them, and complain about those cellphones I didn’t like
What’s my point?
Some months doing so (complaining) and then, my English teacher told me that there was a short stories competition.
I wrote a short story.
Sent it.
And won the second place.
Guess what was the prize?
Yes! AS touch-screen cellphone.
There were like, 10 different prizes, between books, a notebook… but no! I attracted the one I “hated” the most.
Then I read The Secret and understood why!
Now I like to think about things I love, and not what annoys me or anything so I can make them happen or arrive in my life (and it’s pretty cool cause it really works!!).
