A wonderful new tool called BlogRush

I got an email this morning from a really close friend of mine and it had a subject of "Special Invitation". With the increasing problem of spam and silly online advertisements that somehow find their way into your mailbox, I was really skeptical about what it was. Frankly, my mouse cursor was already on it's way to the 'delete' button. :)

So, I read on into the email since this friend of mine tends to send mails of my great interest and of great usefulness (and I don't mean toilet jokes or chain letters). This invitation was for a new web program called BlogRush.

For those who are tech savvy and Internet savvy should know what RSS is. RSS or Really Simple Syndication was developed some where in the 1995, although not popular then. However, with the enormous growth of information on the Internet and the speed of of information that constantly changes, RSS finally found it's fame. Imagine RSS as your online newspaper man that automatically updates the information for you. You will see the RSS icon on your browser's address bar for RSS enabled sites - blogs are always equipped with RSS. (more information on RSS here)

So what can BlogRush do for my blog? There are all sorts of blogs to read out there. BlogRush collects data of similar blogs like mine, say blogs that are of personal diary in nature then what it does is posts a list of blogs on my blog. You should be able to see a box on the right of this blog that has a title "From the BLOGOSPHERE", now that box lists a collection of blogs that are similar to mine.

End result, potential increase in traffic for my blog and other blogs! THANKS BlogRush!

All it takes is a little encouragement

"A Life at Work" by Thomas Moore is currently the book I am reading. I have reached about half way so far and it has really given me a lot of in sight about my destiny or at least pointers to get me on my way to figure out what my life work is (i.e. your ideal work, work that fulfills you from the inside, food-for-the-soul kind of work). It's still a work in progress thing for me; a long way from reaching the full discovery point (if I ever reach it). Your life work can be as simple as helping old folks in need in a nursing home to something as simple as being a life guard. Simplest of work can be the most rewarding to a person's hear that's deep down. Of course, there's no denying that it is different for everyone. But sometimes, if not all the time, all it takes is a little encouragement from the people around you. Sometimes it is as simple as, "a job well done chump!" or "way to go bud!" or "you hit the home run mate!" or even

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

Quick update.........

Having graduated last year in August and taking a break in Australia visiting my brother for a month, I really felt good about everything. Things just got better after that, having landed a job at Ernst & Young! :) Aaaaaahhhhh.... how fast time actually goes by! Passing the 10th of January 2007, I have already been working for 3 months. The feeling of getting older and learning new things everyday at work brings about a feeling of satisfication. Although, work is generally tough and tedious (what do you expect in the auditing line?). I must admit though, when I fast started off I did feel demotivated and some what unhappy with the job having to go back home at 3am and back to work by 8am the next day. I did think about quitting at that time........ :( However, a miracle happened to me! That miracle brought along a girl named Vern Cheng. Without her support, I would have struggled a lot more. After work, just seeing her brings about a feeling of happiness and a feeling of being cont
