seriously....
TAKE A CHANCE, DO THAT DANCEIf any of you reading this post are by any chance using the Firefox browser, like myself, you should be very surprised by what I am about to tell you : Firefox was the idea of a 17 year old kid, well, not forgetting his colleagues.
Blake Ross. (Oh so good looking!) 15 when he took up an internship with Netscape. See, for Netscape, they have this 'open-source' policy, whereby, they don't exactly hire geeky dudes to sit in their cubicles to write a specific programme for their company to earn those bucks. The 'open source' idea is as simple as this : You come in, you make a draft. Anyone else joins in and improvise. So when Ross took up the internship and decided to start a new revolution and further the distance for Netscape, Firefox came to the picture. It was a crazy hit.
"It clocked 2 million downloads in the first 24 hours. Web surfers are switching at the
rate of 7 million a month"
Opportunities really make anything possible. Anything at all. There is no point if you have what it takes but not take a chance to pursue it. Cliche? I would say that I think most of us are guilty as charged when it comes to this. As my dear friend would put it, "expect nothing and don't get disappointed". So you end up seeing more 9 to 5 robots rather than Zang Tois, Jimmy Choos, Nicol Davids or ermm....reluctantly saying it but DATUK Michelle Yeohs.

Once upon a time there was a cow. Yes. A cow. And this cow had a friend. Friend was a sheep. See, both of them were green. In that place they lived in, all things were made green. The mushrooms, the potato land, the trees, the mosquitoes. And suddenly came down a star, CRASHING down to their planet, and ALL things became kalerful! And that star was ME. Rachelli. Ngyahahaha. *Scwoll down pwease*
