Revelation

Suddenly it occured to me

Education is the only route out of my poverty!

reflections

I often ask myself, if this glass is my job will I see it as half empty or half filled? The day that I start seeing it as half empty, is the day I ought to leave. That is when I have reached the peak of my learning curve. Now I see it as a filled glass of dry Lemonade! A thirst quencher!

YOU + ME = ACQUAINTANCE

I guess I was right from the start, both of us will be no more than acquaintances. C made this comment - friends have the tendency to take an interest in each other, however we seem to have developed mutual indifference towards one another. There are people who I meet who will only remain hi-by friends and you just so happen to be one of them.

Running your own race

A reminder to self:


V1:
When one is caught in constant struggle
And Life seems to be spiraling down and endless dark tunnel
It is difficult to remain hopeful,
With pressure and expectations unmet
A challenge to believe one can overcome, the battles in our path
Often we do not realise
That those who overcame their circumstances
Are ordinary Men and Women like us

V2:
As we fix our eyes, on other's lives
Jealousy consumes us like fire
A seemingly perfect life is what they have
It makes us green with envy!
Could it be just face value?
So do not judge the world with rose tinted lenses!
As each of us are unique and special,
We can be winners in our own ways!

V3:
Dreams are building blocks to greater heights
So cling onto your dreams with all your might
Work on your dreams even during the test of time
Even when all odds are against you
Do not give up!
Take a leap of faith and keep believing
In a possibility,
that your dreams will become a reality!

Chorus:
So do not compare, do not despair
As each of us have our own struggles
We can be victorious in our own ways
Just as long as we run our race
And not someone else's race!

if only a kind soul out there can do the melody for me (:

Blue Sky Day

Duvet Day maybe a little tedious to implement in the Company so how about Blue Sky Day? This means allowing your employees to leave the office around 5.30-6pm, so that they can see the Blue Sky! Therefore at least once a week, they will be able to have dinner with their families. I am thankful that it is Blue Sky Day everyday in my company!

Tame Tongue

F and A made this comment

Whenever you ask Him for Patience

He won't give you patience

He will give you ample OPPORTUNITIES to practice patience.

Last night I asked Him for a tame tongue

And I was given the opportunity to mind my language

HOWEVER

When I was behind the wheel, profanity just kept spilling out!

Incredibly disgraceful, I need to wash my mouth with soap!

D Day

The coolest leave which I heard some employees in certain companies are entitled is called Duvet Day! so out of curiosity I goggled that term and I found this:

Just for laughter: A periodic table duvet. BTW laughter is good because it is free of preservatives!

What is a duvet day?

duvet day means taking a day off work when you ‘just don’t feel up to it’. You are not ill, you don’t want to lie to the boss; you just need a day in bed!!

By having a duvet day every leap year, starting from “29th February 2008”. http://www.duveyday.org/ has been encouraging employers to allow their employees to stay at home, as this could help the environment by reducing Carbon emissions for that day by up to 80%!

As of today, there is only 1028 days left to the 2nd Annual Duvet Day! Bosses and HR Practitioners, take the hint, you don't have to wait until the next Duvet Day to implement such a policy in your company!
