I'm Da Boss

Haha.. this shit is funny.

Going out to all the bosses....

Flying solo

Damn, the office is pretty quiet without my usual pips.

It's time for a new era.

Not terribly original, but... no more mr.nice guy.

Shit gotta happen, and I am going to make them happen.

Regardless.

Wish me luck as I try to move Mt. Krakatoa.

10 signs you've grown up

Dammit.

Everything applies to me!

The worst part is, I was listening to "Father and son" when reading this.

Depressing!!!!!!

What the heck, growing old is part of life...


10 SIGNS YOU"VE GROWN UP.

1. You think of the consequences before you act.

2. You find it hard to spend as you know that earning money is not that easy as spending money.

3. You realise that time is precious and you do not have much left.

4. You get the idea that things you done 1 year ago feel extremely retarded to you now.

5. You start getting wedding invites.

6. When you meet up with friends, the topics goes like this "Last time", "In the past" , " Remember that time when we...".

7. You suddenly ask yourself what is the meaning/purpose of your life.

8. You can do something you do not like everyday even when there is no one pushing you to do it.

9. You see other kids and you ask either 1) How old they are, 2) Where they are studying.

10. You forgot what it is like to be a kid and how irrating adults can be when they all ask the same questions.

Rush hour!

Of late, I feel tired and worn out.

I once remembered someone telling me to slow down. That I was moving too fast for my body to catch up. I am beginning to feel this is true (either that, I am severely malnourished and need some multi-vitamins soon).

For the longest time, I am always been rushing for something - deadlines, meetings, appointments - so much so that sometimes I rush for no reason. Being in advertising, especially the creative department didn't make things easier. There's always something new, and we always have to be on top of trends, style and techniques. The deadlines are atrocious and the clients/colleagues are equally bad. The elusive rat-race has got the better of me. A holiday away from work was no different, I try to pack in as many activities I can - always rushing from one to another. It was ingrained in me. Move fast, or be eaten.

This may be cliché, but I am beginning to see the joy in stopping to smell the roses.

Really, it makes a whole world of difference. I start to realize that somethings are not worth fretting about. Nobody takes me seriously, so why should I. It has also open my eyes to my priorities. For too long I have neglected the things that I should have done/enjoy/experience earlier. Also the adage "Youth is wasted on the young" rings so true for me now. It's not easy to let things go, I still catch myself tensing up over peanuts. After decades of lightspeed, I understand it would probably take some time for me to adjust.

But I am not rushing.

Anyway, here's something I picked up from another blog and I thought it something nice to share.


By Douglas Malloch as published in Dale Carnegie’s ‘How to Enjoy Your Life and Your Job’:

If you can’t be a pine on top of a hill,

Be a scrub in the valley- but be

The best little scrub by the side of the rill;

Be a bush, if you can’t be a tree.


If you can’t be a bush, be a bit of the grass,

And some highway happier make;

If you can’t be a muskie, then just be a bass-

But the liveliest bass in the lake!


We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew,

There’s something for all of us here.

There’s big work to do and there’s lesser things to do

And the task we must do is the near.


If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail,

If you can’t be the sun, be a star;

It isn’t by size that you win or your fail-
Be the best of whatever you are!
