Sliding back from back sliding!

Just a while ago when I first started work, motivation was at an all time low. And I mean really low - down the drain. Four months into my work, I can now feel bit by bit, some form of motivation creeping back into my system. Although I must admit, it is not really high but I think I am slowly but surely getting some motivation.

Things are going pretty smooth, even in terms of my study time. I am making time to do some tutorials over my lunch (for the audit subject). And when I get home, or go to VC's place I do some tax revision and practise questions to get myself going. I totally admit, when I first started getting into my job I was a tad too confident and I underestimated the difficulty in trying to manage time for work, studies and play. I definitely suffered and I still am, only difference is that I am picking myself back up this time around. Somehow, my footing does not feel sturdy yet, but I intend to firm up!

Besides trying to work out my time carefully, I need to make time for exercising as well! After lunch today, my senior at work suddenly said , "Micky (my nickname at work), you have put on weight! Your face is rounder now!". Clearly, very clearly this calls for drastic measures to shape myself back. Exercise is now an important part of my daily agenda. Unfortunately, I still do not have enough time for squash to be included in my schedule. Frustrating it may seem, I believe I must try to fit in some time for squash. After all, if I am not mistaken the inter-accounting firm games should be starting in early March if I am not mistaken.

Just to end today's entry.... I wish my senior, Yee Yee all the best for her resuts in her final professional paper!

Entrepreneurship....

Every now and then, some people make it big time in the business world either from, pioneering a fresh new business strategy to improving something that is thought to be already at it's best. Entrepreneurs can be found in virtually any part of this world. I guess, when you think about an entrepreneur in a global perspective, the first few people you might think of would be - William H. Gates who founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs who brought to us the iPod or even Warren Buffet arguably the best investor in THE world. Bring it down to a narrower perspective, the local scene - Tony Fernandes co-founder of AirAsia and Teh Hong Piow founder of Public Bank Berhad (equivalent to a PLC), and of course there are many more! I guess, there are times when we sit down and ponder, "how exactly did these people turn out to be who they are?". Were they born with such innate ability? Did they have parents that constantly gave them inspiration to be their own boss? Did they have a natural eye...

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

Early morning breakfast at a mamak store!

affiliate program Morning breakfast looks like this from the table. A quiet spot just outside the restaurant, cooling and comfortable. :) Mornings are a good time to have quiet time to just reflect on things and just let the mind relax before starting it off. Like any other Malaysian, food is of imperative importance! After all, can't let the mind work on an empty stomach now can we? Thosai Masala is definitely the way to go to start one's day off! Healthy food and plenty carbohydrate from the potato mix inside it. Hmmmmmm.......... mix your mouth all wait eh?  affiliate program
