Highlights

So how does one decide on that important job move that pays half-a-million a year? Or perhaps, you’ve been working week-nights and week-ends too. Where and what are your priorities. Looking back at your life, ask youselve this: What are the highlights of each year? This exercise is pretty simple. Get a piece of blank paper, draw a line through it and on one side, write the year, i.e. 2006, on the other side, write a highlight. Do that for a few years. You can have multiple highlights in each year. I don’t know what you wrote, but I’ve checked with many people and guess what, work never ever figured in there. Highlights were invariably events like friends, gatherings and events. No one I know put in closing that big deal or working all night balancing the accounts for that quarter. So, ready to make a choice. Life. It’s what you make of it is what you get out of it.

Window Cleaning

For some unknown reason, Plaza Sentral where I work, does not have the standard window washing equipment, i.e. the platforms, sky-lifts and what-nots. Instead, they dangle down and spray soap. How fun.

Wonder if this is efficient?
