2008

4 days into the New Year, and it has been good thus far, has been good. New Year resolutions, pan-ed out. Its interesting to note that resolutions dissipate somewhere in Feb, gonna make sure it lives to smell the dawn of 2009. I keep previous resolutions in a tatty diary, called the "Goal Book". Its a cheesy name, but rather...its the "call a spade, a spade" theory. Past enteries include getting 3As for A's, to finish the Bible within 2mths (did it!), to finishing 2.4km under 10mins (forget it!)..there must have been more realistic thoughts in there, but it just slipped my mind. :D


Have been negating the work-life balance thing. Thats unless one's definition of balance is a perfect 12 hrs at work. Not so healthy, because sometimes it can siphon much energy. On the other hand, work is so fulfilling at times (not monetary sense) that makes it really addictive. Addictive as it feeds the ego and feels like an endorphins overdrive. This fulfilment is the chief locomotive of the driving impetus. Work and the sense of fulfilment : chicken and egg relationship.


On a personal level. Sincerity, connectivity, empathy, trust.


Well, i really like how minimal the above 4 points look. It is so bare but forms the bulk of all relationships. Its always good to sit back and reflect upon the quality and depth of relationships, not to drive home the thought of cynism, but to reaccess the reason and the essence. Quantity without depth, evaporates fast, but quality endures and satisfies.


* To Sb: thanks for your new yr's prayer. i hope this is the glimmer yr.
