We were asked to do serendipity walk by our professor to have a short silent and have some time to look back and explore anything that we can discover. First what do serendipity means; it is an action of making happy discoveries, by accident or sagacity, of something not initially in quest of. I started to do my serendipity walk right from the time I step out of the class until I got home but I can’t discover anything. It seems like ideas is not in favor of me. Until I got home, I am still clueless if I have discovered anything but still, no idea showed up. In the same day, my friends and I want to overnight to make our project and help each other by giving ideas and sharing skills or technique that we know because few days ago before that day, we are all very stress and all of us lacks of sleep and we really look messed up. So there we go, spending the night working and have some break time to do a little fun and work again.
When we are starting to get serious and look in each other’s computer, I stop and does my serendipity walk while others are busy doing their job. So I have clear my mind from the nerd geeky talks and take a glance and observe of my surrounding and look at my friends and I can feel that they are really experiencing the same emotion of each other that they are very sleepy, having a 2 to 3 hours sleep is not enough and worse is for 3 consecutive days of not having a good sleep is not a joke because it has greater possibility that we are going to get sick. Suddenly a thought came out and why don’t we find solutions to our problem. Unconsciously an idea came out that why won’t we have something like immunity of getting sick. Like in the movies or anime, lead characters are superhuman and they can afford not to sleep for how many days and survive the threat of getting sick.
The idea is about a “magic capsule”. The magic capsule is a capsule that will tolerate you to do important work all day and even a few more days of working and not sleeping because nowadays, people seems very busy in different fields they have chosen. Like me, an IT student, we are being pressure to do things that require a lot of time, time to think, imagine and do it. And the main problem is that we are all time pressure and we need time management or we need to sacrifice other things and prioritize things that are more important than the other. Since teachers are forcing their students to thing beyond the box and push more to limitations. I am force to sacrifice other stuff and prioritize my study first.
I know that we need a rest because we are humans and we are created to have limitations but we can’t avoid that there are times that we need to sacrifice our sleep and finish anything first. But sometimes when we sacrifice our health and do things for our living, we get sick and the situation worsen.
Instead of finishing the job or finishing it late, we can’t finish anything if we are sick. So the idea of having a magic capsule is right for this problem? Yes, Absolutely.
Technology innovation is very interesting. There are vitamins or medicines that we need to take to have a healthier body. Why won’t we use this technology and study more and think beyond the box and sum up everything? All we need to do is study everything about vitamins, medicines, human’s health. Study how to put everything in a single capsule that will change the world. Put every nutrient that a human body needs to replace the benefits of human’s sleep.
Currently I’m working on my final thesis or what we called in our field is portfolio. I spend almost 24/7 facing the computer and working. My mind is stress out. I usually sleep around 3:00am or sometimes at 4:00am in the morning since when I got home from school, my instinct is telling me to open the computer and work hard. I usually wake up around 5:30am because I have a 7:00am class. And I usually regret of taking a 2hours nap because I can do a lot of things with the 2 hours timetable. So I think this discovery is very important. Most people will benefit with it is people who are workaholic.
