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!

3am stories

I've been reading posts on FB - about the 3am stories. It's really interesting on how the writer trying to remind us on the important things we might deem insignificant or missed out noticing, and they are mostly on family relationships. Not only are the stories interesting, but the way the writer wrote, is captivating, too.

I've been wondering, how long has it been, since we all last wrote or read long stories - since our schooling years, maybe. 
With our ever growing technology and fast paced lifestyle, I think most have now grew accustomed to poster style graphics, animations, short videos, podcasts - things that need to have movements and/or sounds to capture our attention. 
How many of us still able to sit still looking at black wordings with white background? You?
