The speed time passes ~ the insufficiency of time

Its amazing how time just zooms pass us each second, minute, hour and day. Looking back, it has already been close to six months into my job. It also means everyday I inch closer to my exam papers. My thoughts for now is very simple - survive the current wave of job stress and study stress, and other things can wait. Trying to ensure I do not jeopardize my health is not and easy task considering the fact that I stay up late at least 3 out of 5 working days to try to slot some time to study. Most of the time I guess I may be only seeing my notes and not reading the notes. A typical case of body in presence, mind in absence.

Another sad note to add today, is the fact the nice senior I am working under currently will be leaving my firm in a few months time, but still within the firm umbrella in a different state of Melaka, her home town. I guess, one may find it difficult to work away from your home and birth place for too long - after all, leaving one's love ones behind for better pasture can be painful to one's heart.

Everday is a battle for me, not a battle to win but a battle to avoid losing. Personally, I believe that one takes different measures when one says, "I want to win!" and when one says, "I must not lose!". If one over clouds himself with trying to win only, he can resolve to unhealthy methods of achieving that so called win. But taking the advice of one of my country's leaders, in order to become a leader, one has to want that position badly and want it deep down in his heart. I say three cheers to that statement, for I take heed that it means a lot to me and I intend to live by that statement. The desire to succeed will bring about unknown strengths hidden inside me.

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

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 ...

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...
