change

Had a week long with people across different countries. Started with a vague idea and stress of how the week going to end, but ended with a light heart and some light towards end of the tunnel.

A week where we had to show our weaknesses yet protect our standpoint. A week of alignment and establishing a line that works for all. Not easy, yet not really hard, if all trashed out well.

Everyone may learned something different, but hope we all learnt that difference doesn't means indifferent. 

So, what have I learnt? 

I learnt that we don't have to be afraid of changes. It's not easy to change as we have been in comfort zone, or maybe we have been in delusion, for a long time. But without change, we definitely won't be aware of what we might gain (or lose). 

Human relationship is a complex thing. Comparing to talking on the blank screen with someone vs talking face to face and watching each other expression, is really different. Human touch. Work somehow move faster, surprisingly.

Let's hope that there'll be continuous improvements, where everyone's live will get easier after this.

management

Management - to manage or to be managed..

Recently I was shared on a video explaining why some people need to work for others while some don't have to. It's an interesting video and I have to say I can't agree more. Though I'd loved to be in the group that don't have to work for others, yet I understand I don't belong there. 

When we are working for others, our time is being managed. Which time is for which task, and our day and night are filled up with reasons for that. Though most of us would be fantasizing, how fun would it be, should our time not to be tied up. But, is it really so? 

If thinking further, for those that do not need to work for others, how do they really spend their time? You may find two contrast - either it's well spent, or it's well wasted. Those that can truly manage themselves, actually manage the time, and not to let the time to manage them. They are the manager of their own time.

So, which group do you belong to?

if you don't like your time to be managed, then learn to manage it. If you don't like to work for others, then learn to have others work for you. Either one, it's still a management skill. And it's truly a skill worth learning of.

vintage

You are not old, you are vintage, and that makes you priceless.

Came across this phrase while reading through one of my favorite FB pages today. And it sounds so true, that I want to shoutout to my parent and siblings, too!

Don't one wonders, what are we doing here on earth? And the fact that I've been lecturing my kid that we're on earth to learn, else we're better off lying dead, makes me wondered if I'm still learning. Fancy of me telling this to a kid, but luckily, at least I'm pretty sure I'm still at the learning phase of parenthood. But apart from that, hard to say.

Maybe age does matter. When you are old enough to be lecturing someone younger, you don't really care so much on how you blabber, so long you manage to pass down the information that you want to. You are just hoping that the younger generation will be a better version than yourself. But as you get older, patience wears thinner, too. So, lecturing method changes over time, too.

Apart from aging pricelessly, may we all aged with grace, too!
