Best ways to pass the time on a long flight

by Cristo

Created on: January 28, 2009

Being a child many of us have dreamed of having wings like a bird and flying above the sky, chasing the wind and clouds. Innovations in science and technology have made this dream a reality to us, but limiting ourselves into a closed object called aero plane. Even though airways are the fastest and the most comfortable means of communication for many reasons people hate this. The main reason is all we can see through the birds eye view are miniature structures and the big question is how to kill time?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

When we are traveling on a flight we should be lucky to be on the top of the world away from the crowd and stress of our daily routine earthly life. During our busy schedules, rarely we get time for ourselves. Long flight journeys are best to cherish and refresh yourself. It's very important that you spend time for yourselves, praise yourselves for the good job you have done. Let your dreams and imagination fly free and high. That doesn't mean to sleep through out the journey.

Someone once said "You get a different perception when you talk with strangers!" It has proved many a times right for me . Long journeys and flights sometimes act as platform to meet and greet new ones. Start with a Stranger and come out with a friend. Anyway you are not going to loose anything, but you will gain more. I know what you are thinking now, your mom's words "Do not talk to strangers ". Hmm that's true to some extend, but I think this can be an exception as long as you learn to use your intuitions.

With the arrival of Television and World Wide Web, people have lost the habit of reading books. Also, we have more things to contribute for distractions in our earthly life. So, why not open a book and start reading it . There are plenty of great works written by people with brains. Just like the author of this one, oh that's me. Now, if you are interested to leap one more step i am calling you for a challenge. Guys take your pens and spread it on a paper. There could be a great writer sleeping within you. Let's give a wake up call.

Man has invented more than enough gadgets to kill time ranging from music players, ipods and laptops. Of course you can use them but I would suggest lets try something different. When you are on the top of the world lets think differently. Listening to music is always a good option. It refreshes you.

Next time you set yourself on a long journey try something different. Who knows one day you will be having coffee with me. I am just kidding...
