Another day at work and another jolt with realisation.
Is this what i want to do with my life, is this where my car is heading, to a monotony of a 9 to 6 job, of an endless quest for a "career", a "future", a "life".
Please follow me as I estabilish my arguments and dwell on the fact that the solution to this problem is not as simple as it may seem. Some people believe I think too much, others condemn me as a pessimist, but very few if any realise that all I'm trying to do is weigh my options, making sure that I have before me what I call the worst of every bit of the argument so that I may know exactly what to expect and the extent to which it may, if at all, backfire.
Life may not be complicated but neither is that simple. There may be a theory forming in your mind that I do not know what I want for the headline under my name totally contradicts what I have stated in the lines above. For such minds, here's a piece of advice, stay with me on this!!!
very often all we need to do is make a decision, usually either in the affirmative or the negative, but not at the expense of the goal. Every decision must be weighed and considered, and then an outcome decided upon. Thoughtless action in the form of blatant madness hardly gets us anywhere.
Whew, enough for the day...until next time!!!

ze paradigm shift
Hmmmm.....I've been thinking, to get some decent writing in and not to be accussed of plagiarism is kinda difficult.
the problem started when some1 said:
" if every prelude has an aftermath, and every aftermath a prelude, why do anything at all??? "
doggone right!!!! don u think???
and here i go gettin carried away again when the sole objective of this very untimely post was to get me of the mark towards decent writing.
u know what: IT STILL IS !!!
I've been going thru the 7 habits of highly effective people for a second innings and well, am kinda inspired by the whole concept of the paradigm shift. it brings a whole new perspective to interpretation and gives emphasis to the change in the process rather than the endpoints. great concept.
think about it.....the world seems the way u luk at it.
in the book, covey gives an example of a dr.frankl who lived in the freudian era when every1 thought u could do what u could bcoz it was unto u to do it. he was a jew and locked away in prison camps during the nadir of human existence and the peak of nazi atrocities. at a time when our sense of decency would revolt rather instinctively at the mention of the physically and mentally degrading torture the prisoners were subjected to, frankl kept his mental liberty at par with those out in the open. he had realized that while the nazis could subject him to any sort of physical restraint, they could not supress his imagination. using this: a stark contradiction to freudian fundamentals.With a whole lot of luck on his side, he was finally released when the nazis were brought down and he later went bak to his former profession of a physician!!!
amazing story......we cud learn a lesson or two!!!!!
i just had to put this story somewhere.....it gives a whole new way to luk at life....for the only way we can be hurt is to allow some1 to hurt us.
until next time-----ciao!!

the vector debacle
u c when in 1st year, we has this subject called maths...( which i got an A in....hence the absence of the so called adjectives before the word ), and we had this topic called vectors. it sucked.....bigtime!!!!!!
and obviously, being the smart ass that i am...i left it to providence to get me thru' and it did.........read the bracketed phrase.
but now...a year later, it has come bak to haunt me.
dammit..the training project now has a task that i must solve ony by vectors and the fact that i know nuthin abt it has helped no matters. i'm totally and darned disgusted and not to mention stupendously screwed....( excuse my excessive alliterative use.)
and now on project time with nuthin better to do than fret over my incapability to think in vectorial aspects...i have taken to the next best thing to do.......write a post about my messed up fortune.
and did u know my results are out and that i have delivered yet another bone shattering performance...kudos to me!!! and that i spent the next few hours filling up my already bursting cranial membrane that mayb engg was not for me.....and then my eggtop cudnt take it anymore and dished out rather unsophisticated views on the matter to every1 on my messenger list.....hmmmmm.....not exciting is it??
now that i'm over it but not yet over the crap about my rotten luck abt vectors...i have really nuthin else to do but fret about it...so back to frettin....fret fret fret....sigh.....cya!!!!!

hell.......................
the journey home was one of its kind.....with plenty of entertainment as my groupmates began what normal people may refer to as monkey antics and what they call definitely a copywrite original masterpiece.nevertheless...the end was the best....had some1 spl cum n pick me up at the station.felt gud...that.
