About me and the ~Path of Time~

I have had some friend readers of mine asking me why I chose the name ~Path of Time~ and what got me started on this 'project'. After so many blog entries, I am finally going to give people a low down on why I started ~Path of Time~

Hi, I am Mick. Growing up with an innate liking for writing, I decided to blog about my life (not the most exciting of lives but it'll do for me) :) The ~Path of Time~ showcases my walk of life - life as what I see, hear and experience.

Why I chose the name ~Path of Time~? To me at least, living life is very much similar to walking through time. From the day of my birth to a walking child, teenager, then gradually transitioning into adulthood. Much can happen in one's life, ranging from happy moments to the sadest of times when one is down and out.

~Path of Time~ records my walk of life, sharing my experiences with everyone else at large with the hope that i might gather comments from people who have seen more than I have and hopefully learn from more experienced people. In turn, my experiences can hopefully help others in their own walk of life.

The past few years have not been an any easy ride for me with a lot of ups and downs that has made me, I believe a lil' more matured. There really is a lot out there and close to any form of surprises can just pop up and just look you straight in the eye!

The world is a big place and there is so much to learn. Where else to document my encounters if not on the ~Path of Time~? :)

I truly hope readers will enjoy reading my blog, and if you have suggestions, feel free to drop me a comment and I will see if I can accomodate the suggestions.

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
