It was back more than ten years ago when I fondled a mobile phone in my hands for the first time. It was a bulky old-fashioned one my father bought for himself. Back then, a mobile phone is just a magic to me. I even didn’t quite sure what this bulky black gadget was used for. My father told me that when I held it to my ear, I can speak to grandfather who was thousands miles apart from us. I doubted it. Yet when I did hear voice of grandfather from this magical item, I was really amazed. Since then the dream of owning a mobile phone of my own rooted deep in my heart.
However, my family wasn’t quite well-off and can’t afford to buy me a mobile phone. It isn’t until when I left home for university that my father bought me one. You just can’t believe how rapid technology advances! My mobile phone was already much more superb comparing to the old-fashioned one of my father’s. It was lighter in weight, cuter in style and better in performance. And above all, it was much cheaper than my father’s. I had thought it is the best mobile phone in the world. Yet only when I arrived at university and found that the mobile phones of others can play music and games, did I came to realize that mobile phone isn’t just a tool of making calls and sending messages. Besides, I found my mobile phone was ugly. I wanted a flip mobile phone or slide one.
Therefore, I resolved to save up money to buy myself a dashing mobile phone. I applied for assistant jobs in university and took part in commercial promotions restlessly. Not long I accumulated enough money to buy myself a high-rated mobile phone. When I fondled the mobile phone in my hands, I was almost beside myself. The sense of accomplishment overwhelmed me all over.
Now mobile phone is no longer a luxury to me. To buy an iPhone 4 won’t make me hesitate for long as I am doing quite well now. Yet the most important thing I learned from my pursuit of mobile phone is that if you want the best, you have to strive hard for it!
