Its funny how i was looking forward to a good week & it turns out to be a total lousy one. With an inflamed stomach, a defective pump & a defective electrical fault…. I wonder what else could go wrong..
sigh.. not a good week. And the worst part is I am dreading what next week will bring..
“Work with a bias toward action” – Tim Beyers
go North , we may succeed but it means swallowing one’s pride & sacrificing what’s right
go East, we may succeed but it means some serious debates & hard work to make things right (but still no guarantees)
go West , its – to each his own destiny. starting all over
going south is not an option as it means turning back time which we can never do
I mean we heard so much written about the millennials (those born post 1980s) about how lazy & entitled they are. Not to mention that EGO.
But the fact is they are here to stay & to work with you (which is quite disconcerting when I think about it)
Interesting write-up about “why bashing the millennials is wrong” . Of course I disagree with her using the Glee casts as an example. I mean they became successful because of the producer Ryan Murphy (which is NOT a millennial), cos he is the one with the idea & making the Glee happen.
I have been lucky that I have been blessed with a home. Sidonie is right that home is where I have learn & practice the need to give, to take, to voice, to argue, to get punish, to negotiate, to forgive, to let go, to belong & to love. Yes – i have been very lucky. It will be a great shame if the home cease to be a place of what it should be. So dear God, help us re-build the home that once was.Home is the place where boys and girls first learn how to limit their wishes, abide by rules, and consider the rights and needs of others — Sidonie Gruenberg
I had the best 2 decades of life – why only 2 you say ? well.. the first 1 & a half decade , regrettably I didn’t learn to dream. Still…it wasn’t such a bad experience afterall, at least I realized that no dreams means no memories…
So here’s a tribute to the people who shaped me
To my father who gave me the chance to experience education at its best
To my mother who taught me to be persistent
To my sisters who taught me that despite everything, they still cares cause they care – as simple as that
To my husband who taught me to be diligent, consistent & above all .. patience!
To my closest friends who taught me that nothing beats letting out your feelings but still listen
To my lecturers who made me do research for papers so I could have been introduced to the ‘economist’!
To my childhood friend who incites me to enjoy reading books
To my ex bosses who showed me what leaders that one should be
To my ex work mates who showed me that there are so many great minds & kind hearts in this world
To all the meetings that I had to attend which showed me that either it could be a big waste of time or a very productive one depending on how it is run
To all the authors that wrote all those wonderful non-fiction, fiction, biographies & inspirational books which helped me to shape my mind & that dream is really not impossible
To the inventors of the WWW, without which it will take ages to get any information
To my travel buddies for giving me such wonderful memories for each & every travels that we made
To all the inspirational leaders that gives such moving talks & opinions which makes me realized the importance of different perspectives
Lastly to my father again for giving me the chance to shape the dreams into reality but definitely & more importantly to forgive & live for the future
