The force
Sure all of us watch the Star Wars before... but I can tell you that nothing can beat 'the force' application in the real world.
This happened in one of my trips with best buds and their respective partners.
After waking up from a refreshing sleep, I was still lazing on the bed. What ensues should be a warning to us males (take heed):
Adrian was walking around aimlessly and Carol was lying on the next bed. Conversation was something like this, I can't remember exactly the words:
Carol: Adrian dear, can you please pass the [object] for me?
Adrian (stares): Use the force.
Carol raises one hand, gestures it ala Star Wars style towards Adrian and move her hand towards the [object].
Poor fella didn't see it coming. He meekly went and took it and passed it to her. We had a good laugh at his expense. I wonder where she kept her lightsaber.
Never tell your girlfriend to use 'the force'.

Lesson learnt
If there is one thing I have learnt from my demon boss, it would be the ability to plan. Let me elaborate further on this point.
"Plan properly. Plan properly. Plan properly. Plan properly. Plan properly. Plan properly."
Honestly, my boss actually drilled that into me repetitively during a discussion. I felt miserable whenever I am handling a job for him. But as bitter as I am on the treatment he has given me all this while, I did try to look things from another POV... and I have to agree with him entirely on this.
Planning is vital. The word itself sounds easy. I mean, it is easy to say that you've planned everything, but have you done it in a proper way? One ultimate way to judge your competence in planning is to re-evaluate after closure/post-execution. How many of you can say that everything that you've done have gone 100% according to plan without improvisation? Anyway, this is just something we should think about. I am too lazy now to go on so I will stop it short.
Anyone can plan, but to master it is an entirely different ball game.

Happy birthday my love

Will definitely improve my record on being by your side on your big day. I've already missed it twice.

Pursuing dreams
If there is one thing I would envy, it is those who have the confidence to step out of the flock. To achieve something greater than themselves and not subjugated by the norms.
Now I have the chance to be that person. Slim as the opportunity may seem right now, it is still a penetration point for me. Together with a couple of events which has unfolded, I believe this is THE right time.
I do not fear your criticisms (I will accept it constructively),
I do not fear of failure (as it points me towards success),
I do not fear your condescending tones (I've heard enough to last me a lifetime),
I do not fear your smirks and derisions (I will wipe that off your face in due time).
I do not fear the impossible (Please refer to Nike).
Just have a little faith in me. It brings a world of difference to me.
