Tuesday...
todae was a busy dae again....
i ran arnd the whole dae....so so tired...
tis evening, i attended this prestigious awards ceremony called the Philadelphia 100, which is an annual ceremony which awards the top 100 fastest growing, privately owned companies in this region....
I was sitting in this giant banquet hall with tables and tables of millionaires, some multi-millionaires.....and even the smallest of companies there had revenues of a few million last year....
i started thinking....and also because recently in all the conferences and networking events which i have attended and have been interacting with the Directors of 'sth sth', CEOs, Presidents, who r usually pretty wealthy, successful ppl (many millionaires too), that i started pondering yet again.....
Is it so hard to become a millionaire?
My answer to it is a big NO....
it's reali not dat hard if u hav a good business idea, one which is viable and can be sustainable, if you have a good partner and a strong team, if u have the determination and the right attitude, if u hav some luck....
Recently, having been working in my company for a few mths...it has set me thinking dat i reali wanna start my own company in future, preferably in some high-tech business...
cos for one,
i don feel like working for other ppl and they reap the benefits.....
and two,
i wanna reap the full benefits of my own potential, my own capabilities and my own efforts.....
so yupz...i've officially caught the entrepreneurial bug.....
************************************************************************************
was smsing meijia juz now.....
and she did one thing which she hasn't in a long time.....
she challenged wat i said.....
hahahz....den we started talking abt how accomodating i usually am....and i concede that sometimes, i can be too accomodating.....
and i agree that i shld reali be more critical sometimes....well, thks girl....it's a delicate balance which i am still learning how to discover for myself....
hmmm, i was telling my dad on sms that i hav to admit that recently, especially in the last week or so, i'm beginning to feel the effects of the overloading of responsibilities on myself oredi....
frankly speaking, it was overloading the moment i started this program...but recently, it's getting heavier and heavier and sometimes i feel myself lapsing into a sianz mood....
which for me means that i am having too many thgs to do and too little personal time for myself....
the symptoms are obvious...
i get grumpy, i am easily irritable, i feel anti-social, i don wanna talk much, i look grim.....
well, i reali need more personal time for myself....man, i feel so deprived....
i feel good juz having more time to read my emails, reply emails, chat with frens leisurely on msn, blog....and all these and more without having to rush, without having to refer to my to-do list to see wat's up after this and that....
basically, i like doing thgs at a slow, leisurely pace and not rush thru the stuff which i usually like and wan to enjoy...
another grp of frens has asked me to join them in some competition, they need my technical background....
i tink i might hav to turn them down.....my parents think i shld....
and i might reali hav to....cos i can't give my best if i take up too many responsibilities.....
by my usual standards, i onli wan to give my best.....in all important matters.....
i shall see.....or rather,
we shall see....
Tradeoffs....
