Eryn's Mission Statement: Success

I will only see failure as an opportunity to learn. Success is noticed everyday as I make it from morning to night. I will continue my success as a student, employee, daughter, sister, aunt, lover and any other role I may take on. I will never lose focus on my passions. My faith and my family will remain most important to me. Work will never come before the two but it will bring me happiness. When I can't tell the difference between work and play....that's when I know I have succeeded.

Online Shopping: Genius?

Online shopping caters to two kinds of people, the lazy and, the too busy! Today's society looks for convenience and the ability to shop from ones own computer caters to that demand. Too bad online shopping is a genius idea because I believe that the instant popularity of this form of shopping may have a little to do with the recession that this country is dealing with. The ever growing use of computers may be putting a lot of jobs in jeopardy. Now days a computer can sell a product as well, if not better than a human can. The Internet puts information at the finger tips of consumers without the inconvenience of listening to a sales rep. who may or may know what they're talking about. When a consumer shops from their computer they may receive the product and want to return it to the store, that store looses money because they didn't sell the product off their shelf but, they're forced to refund or exchange the product thus loosing money.
Their are many great savings on the Internet but me personally i prefer to see the item in tangible form before i purchase it. I like to know that the material feels as good as it looks and that the item is made in a professional manner. I also look for instant gratification and waiting for something to arrive via "snail mail" isn't my thing, especially when it comes to clothing. When i shop it's normally because I'm planning on wearing or using that produce asap.
Please don't get me wrong... online shopping is GREAT! It's just not for me and I'm not sure that it's too great for our economy either. The amount of cash flow online shopping generates is great I'm sure, but i only see it as helping the rich get richer!
