Let me begin by asking you “What is your favorite key/keys on the computer keyboard?” Would you say it’s the Shift key, the Insert key or Enter key or would it be the $ or the full stop? Well for me it’s the “Ctrl+Z” or shall I say the Undo command.Undo is a command in many computer programs. It erases the last change done to the document reverting it to an older state. In most Windows applications, the Undo command is activated by pressing Ctrl+Z. This is truly one of the most magical keys- you make an error all you need to do is press these magical keys and zap the error just disappears leaving no trace of the mistake.
Do you ever wish real life had an "undo" command like most software programs have? Guess many of us would really like that. Most of our mistakes and hasty actions in our day to day life could be undone with just a click. A wrong decision or choice could be reversed. Yes it would all be really simple. However fortunately or unfortunately life does not come with the “Undo button”. Often you need the "undo button" right after a wrong choice or action. But if you look back, maybe the choice was not so bad after all. It has molded you into what you are today, we should instead appreciate that life has given us opportunities to learn from our mistakes.
There are things in life we cannot easily undo as we would with our computer files. A wrong choice, hurtful words uttered to our loved ones, decisions in haste and many more actions in our day- to- day life cannot be undone. Many things in real life cannot be undone because unlike with our computer documents, each action has repercussions as they not only involve us- our file, but also effects others-the unopened files in our system.
