To Be... or Not To Be...

That is the QUESTION.

WARNING: This post is slightly out of IM topic but it might pose to be a good motivational speech to all tensed and depressed marketer out there.

I had been reminded by my **** TWICE about it. He predicts that within 3 years of working in my current position, I would start smoking. Surprisingly, today I bought this...

A cigarette case.

"So soon already?". To whoever that is thinking that I had taking up smoking... THINK AGAIN! I had always hated smokers & cigarettes. Come on... there are a lot more pressure reliever out there! Could be sports (archery, huh... so great picturing my **** on the bull's eye), could be love, could be anything! Anything than smoking, drugs or alcohol.

So what on earth am I doing with this cigarette case?

Card holder la!!

Hehe... GOTCHA!! "A creative mind knows no boundary".

Happiness

Sunshine!

My boss is officially retired and his last day was on Friday 30th March 2007. Now I'm all alone as the highest authority under this subdivision of Operation namely Production Services.

Sounds so GRAND?? Not really.

For one thing the salary is not so grand... the title is just an executive... but handling all managerial responsibility. I have to sign and apporve the leave for subordinates, clean up all their messes, plan and approve for OT, and it doesn't ends there. Today I have to sign the utilities bills for production. The XXX,XXX.00 bills and responsibility scared the hell out of me.

But I still consider myself lucky. Because I have another boss (quite handsome arr, but really strict one... another reminder of the ever intimidating Dr. Rozainee, hahah) to guide through, who understands that I'm soooo greeeeeeeen and also another 'boss' to help me. And a quote to live by... Remember, HAPPINESS IS WITHIN YOURSELF! So...

Stop Worrying... Get started!

Glory & Fame

Glory is like a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,
Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.

~ William Shakespear ~
Greatest English dramatist & poet (1564 - 1616)

Today's topic is GLORY & FAME. I'm currently out of ideas so I'll make this quick.

It's always surprising how just a little bit of publicity will either push you to glory or your downfall. And the grapevine system in our culture is so efficient that news can travel equally fast with the internet speed. I've been having a little bit of this fast-fame lately and truthfully it is a little bit suffocating for a person who doesn't like being in the limelight like me. Well, OK, everybody likes to be in the limelight but up to a certain degree. For me, there's nothing wrong with having your 15-minutes of fame like what Andy Warhol said, but if it involves your phone to ring profusely, your e-mail spammed and your privacy intruded, I really would prefer to be nobody. Then again... glory & fame won't last long. Because it keeps on spreading and growing until eventually the waves will fade.

Smile!!!

Give your smile to those who cannot smile... because they need it the most!

New Discoveries

"If you want to succeed, you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success."

~ John D. Rockefeller ~

How true is that? To really achieve success you should try out on new things, discover them yourself rather than follow a carefully laid out plan even though that plan has proven to be successful all the time. The things that tought you best are failures (either of your own, or of others). And the most rewarding part of following your own path is when you discover new things, new facts by your own.

moments that take our breath away."

Quotes to Keep You Going

I'm going to add quotes (hopefully one quote per day) to this blog. The main objective is to keep everyone focus and motivated. And since I'm going to be pretty busy over the month I think I can get away with putting up quotes. Hehehehehe... So here's our first for today:

"Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great."

Aptly put for new beginners and those who're pondering over whether they should quit they steady job or not.
