A Problem and A Solution

A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties” ~ Harry Truman.

Yesterday I went to Toyota service center to service my car and I saw tha above sign. It attracted me and while waiting for my car I read the article stated that optimists are healthier and live longer. So, according to Harvard study that followed the lives of 99 students from the age of 25 found that those who were initially classified as optimists at that young age were significantly healthier at the ages of 45 and 60. While pessimism in early life is a stable predictor of poor health in later life. Similar studies have shown that pessimism is a good predictor of not only infectious disease but also of early mortality. In other words, being a pessimist literally means that we will likely die sooner. Research conducted on cancer patients has shown that those who are optimists have healthier outcomes than those who are pessimists. So, be optimist rather than pessismist even though you have a lot of problems.

Reading the article made me smile. I'm trying to be optimist now, since I'm in the middle of having problem of my laptop, I really need to find a solution. A day before I accidently left my laptop in my car and rushed to the class. As a consequence, a problem occured with my laptop may be due to the hot temperature when I left it in the car. It happens that I am in the middle of finishing few of my assignment and of course without my laptop it gives me headache. I am not worrying about my laptop but the data and the software that I bought from U.S that cost me more than the laptop itself. For now my solution is really simple; what can I say? - Be Cool. What can I do? - send my laptop to computer technician...... what else?!

Assalamua'laikum, Dear Azuriy,

I believe the software and the data in your laptop are still ok. Maybe you can try this;
See anybody you know who has laptop. Then take out your laptop's hard disc. afterthat try to attach to the other laptop to find out whether your hard disc still works or not.
Normally, the hard disc is not easy to get spoiled due to heated up in the car.
Insyaallah, the software and the data are not damaged. You just need to believe that and remember,..be a confident person as well. Keep smiling sis, it will be solved insyaallah.
I'll get back if I got other helping info. Wassalam.

Dear Azuriy,..Assalamua'laikum,

I assumed that your laptop was still in its carry case/bag when you left it in your car. If that is the case, the part that affected might be the screen. You can try this as well;
Try to connect a desk top monitor to your laptop. Switch them on to see the result. If you able to get the display as normal, thats mean only your laptop screen got problem.

Hope that idea helps. I believe this matter will solve soon. Keep smiling Azuriy and have a nice day. Wassalam

Dear Azuriy,

I think as salikanal is right, if it is due to the heated up in the car, ususlly the problem occur only about the display.So, don't worry.
