Why you should do what you should do.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered -- forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives -- be kind anyway
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies -- succeed anyway
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you -- be honest and frank anyway
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight -- build anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous -- be happy anyway
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow -- do good anyway
Give the world your best, and it may never be enough -- give the world your best anyway
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway
~ Mother Teresa

First time in a long while.

Nov 2007 was my last post. That's really long ago isn't it. almost like say 4 months.

4 months zoomed past.

Standing at this point and looking back from since 2007, I would think that, nothing much has essentially changed. I am still getting used to what people call working life. Problem with working is, the amount of choices you have compared to when studying drops. Instructions are dropped on you like directives. Even if you were to think it is stupid, or inefficient, you just have to follow along because, it's work. The situation is less predictable. And what others choose to do, or choose not to do, directly affects you.

I am still learning to cut the 24h pie into its necessary bits and pieces. I won't say that I have consistent success. The fluctuating hunger from different needs and wants makes things slightly more difficult. Just spurts of success already makes me pretty satisfied. Low expectation is the key word. ha. The current book that I am reading told me to just cut the pie and stick with it. That is a challenge. The dilemma between react and ignore is non-existent because ignorance is something I struggle to even identify.

What makes someone successful has a whole different recipe in the workplace, different also with age, different also with time and different also with each individual. To me, that success comes from just knowing that I am trotting along the right path, keeping the big guy up there pleased.
