What I got to learn today was really unexpected. I never thought those words would come out of his mouth. Right at this moment, I realised that everyone in my life has taught me something. If I could say 1 thing positive about what I learn from the people I mix with, I have a no reason to be sad.
When Billy said life was an adventure earlier during the day, jokingly or seriously, it struck a chord in me. Every turn is a new adventure. Everyone new you meet is an adventure. Every new things you feel is an adventure. Don't you think so? Even the unexpected is an adventure!
I bought last Saturday's Straits Times and I haven't read it.
Goodnight!

I try to .. is not enough
I realised that when I do something, I give a "try" effort and not my "best" effort. Enough to complete the work but never actually make it much better. I'm not leaving a dent.
One of my hero, Steve Jobs, is a perfect example. Why is he my hero? Cos I love his passion for innovation and his burning desire to create tools to unleash human potential. I believe not many people know about this. What do you see when you see a Mac, an iPod, an iPhone or an iPad? Do you see just another cool looking gadget or a tool to change the world with? Why do some people call other people shallow? My opinion would be that person did not take enough time to gt to know the other person.
Steve Jobs was worth millions when he was 25 but he didn't care. Why is that so? Have you ever wondered why? Why did he wear a Brioni suit just to go to a bank back then? Did you know about that fact at all? You can find the answers in the book -The presentation secrets of Steve Jobs. It's an awesome book, if you read it and applied it's principles. I believe that most people would take a company and label it the moment they see it without giving much thought about how that company became successful. Or even why was the company created at first.
There's going to be an appreciation ceremony for Beach Operations and Rangers this Thursday morning. I'm still clueless about how I come about doing the Moving Forward video for my department, Beach Operations. Hmm.. Right now, I don't only have the Moving Forward video for Beach OPs, I have the Rangers and another which involves the 2 department working in collaboration. A total of 3 videos! I'm quite excited really. I believed that I did a great job on the 3 videos. It was definitely not a "try" effort but my almost "best" effort.
