Walking the parallel line!

When I was younger, I remember a saying, "it is never necessary for any of us to walk exactly on the line. When did anyone say you can't walk by the line?". How to relate it to our lives? Simple - it is true we should always plan and try to stick our plans. But, life is far from perfect considering how volatile life's circumstances can be.

Bearing in mind what life can sometimes throw at us, it is all about blending and adapting to the circumstances. After all, we have to remember we cannot expect circumstances to fit us. We are but one small insignificant lifeform in collective terms! So, we are the ones who should adjust. It was never easy, it is never easy and it will never be easy. We simply have to take what comes at us.

And that, is what I have started to learn. Although only a bit of it - learning but slowly. I think, I think... I am starting to like my job bit by bit. Quantifying it would probably be 55% - like the job and 45% - I do not like the job. So, judging from the current situation, I believe I slowly starting to walk parallel to the line I wanted, but I still need to get closer to the line..........

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...
