Welcome to My World

  When I was in my 20’s, the world was so open to opportunity but I was so short of experience. I was young. In my way to 30’s, I have realized that relationships are hard to come by and there is no shortage of people to meet and friendship to be made. I also learned that there is no reason to waste our time with people who don’t help us on our life’s path. Now that I am in my 30’s, I have learned to set aside what other people think and instead learned to identify my natural strengths and what I am passionate about. Yes, I have learned to build a life around those. Have I taken risks? Definitely yes and it was painful but not a reason to give up. Life is a bitch, they say, and I refused to be toppled. Never be afraid in taking risks. While by age 30, most feel they should be contented with what they have, their career dialled in, it is never too late to reset if you realize it is not really what you want.

To what do we owe really our loyalty? To what extent should we be loyal? Are we loyal because we receive something or are we loyal because we desire to give? Growing up, I was taught with the value of loyalty. My parents taught me how being loyal makes an important part of who I am as a person.

I have only a few friends who I would do everything because we have been through so many rough times. Loyalty is more than that. Now, I am at a different point in my life where I have a deeper understanding of what loyalt...

When you judge yourself, as we all do, how do you measure up? What do you feel you have to offer to your organization - and is that offering given the value, validity, and respect it deserves? What is your worth or do you even consider your worth at all? Or are you just another delusional mammal? Why is it important to understand your personal currency? I’m going to be frank and say that not only is it important to recognize your innate worth, it’s critical that you do or else you might end up living in great delusion. I am telling you, that would be seriously ridiculous. In the past 10 years, I got the privilege to work with already 3 different employers,  both public and private sectors. I am glad that I was given the opportunity to work with the best minds of these 3 organizations. While the opportunities were great, I was also given the challenge to work with people who have parasitic attitudes, delusional mammals or even those who are good as deadwood. Inasmuch as I w...
