This chart illustrate global sales of mobiles from three different brands, Samsung, Apple, Nokia,

LG, and ZTE in 2009, 2011, and 2013.

Initially, Samsung increased their sales from 2009, with 450 in 2013 was the most popular
brand in this illustration. In spite of, in 2009 was in the second place of sales behind Nokia, in
2013, those brands switched their positions.

Secondly, Apple and ZTE were the other brands that had more sales than in the past years, but
not with the same impact than Samsung. Apple and ZTE had 150 and 55 sales respectively.

Finally, the two brands that lost market between 2009 and 2013 were Nokia and LG,
consequently, Samsung and Apple took their places in the market (First and third respectively).
On one hand, even if Nokia lost popularity in those years, it was in the second place and very
far from Apple in 2013, with more than 100 sales, on the other hand, LG approached their
numbers with ZTE, from more than a 50 sales between them in 2009, to less than a 20 in 2013.
Changes always come with bad and good things but always with many learnings

No one could stay in their comfort zone forever

Sometimes is just fear to changes, but, when it happens, normally comes with many surprises

If you have a box in front of you, you will never know what is inside, and you will die with the
expectation of what was inside

Exchange

Staying in the status quo and avoiding changes in life is normally comfortable for too many
people, but, for others, some changes come with good things. In my point of view, alterations
always will come with bad and good things, but always with learnings, and, if someone want to
be better in life, it would be a very good experience make some modification in their routine.

In spite of many people try to not change their life style for many years, it is difficult to stay in
a comfortable zone forever, normally, changes come eventually. Besides, sometimes is just
fear for what is going to happened with something new in their life. One of the best advice
that I had from my grandfather was: if someone just has a box in front, and it will not never
being opened, this person will die with the expectation of what was inside, and that is worse
than just open the box and see the surprise.

For example, in high school, I was too much comfortable to finish my studies and go to the
university, with my friends I had plans to go to one or another university to study, had travels
with them and stay with my girlfriend. It was a big surprise when my dad came with the idea to
do an exchange to Germany, I did not want to because I do not spoke English or German and I
had to be far from my family, friends and my girlfriend, in addition I was not good beginning a
relation with new people. In consequence, I spoke with all my family and they just support the
idea from my dad, so, I just went to Germany and had one (or maybe the best) of the most
incredible year in my entire life.

To conclude, it was difficult for me separated from the people who I love, but this new
experience came with many learnings too.
