I guess its human nature that we’ve always wanted others to understand us. However, before we get others to understand us, we really ought to understand others first. And yet before we begin trying to understand others, we should try to understand ourselves first. So… do you understand yourself?

Hmm…. Have been thinking that ever since the day we are born, we were taught to learn everything about the universe but nothing about ourselves. Ok.. there are exceptions for those who are psychologists or doctors. Hmmm..

Anyway, haha.. this seldom happens, but I’ve watched two movies last week, and they were both very enjoyable. The first was Wall E, and the second’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Unless you are the type who doesn’t like to watch animations, I think Wall E is a very nice movie, considering how the directors can show the emotions from the robots / animated characters. Also, its pretty cool to know that the “female lead” was designed by Apple. Haha.

For Forgetting Sarah Marshall, there are some scenes which both Ting and I thought were rather weird, where the male lead was shown totally nude with his penis. We just couldnt figure out the need for those scenes, and furthermore, the movie was just rated M18 instead of RA. But nevertheless, haha, I think the movie was quite funny, and the female lead is very pretty. (Although my date thinks otherwise…) =p

Before I begin typing anything, I guess I should clarify that the last line of my previous post doesn’t refer to a relationship. ;p

Must say that the week has been a rather long and tiring one, especially since the week started off with a fever and flu that continued from the last weekend. Apart from a heavier workload, I had to wake up at 3.50am to pick up a client from the airport on Friday. Tsk Tsk…

Hmmmm.. have been thinking that I should really put in more effort and thinking into work, so as to climb up faster. At the rate I’m going, its gonna take a hell lot of time for me to become a millionaire..!

hehe..

Urghh..
Am feeling both weak and tired now.. shucks.. am down with a flu since Friday afternoon, and fever since Friday night. Grrr.. Hate to be sick..

Guess it was mainly due to the workload, which has been pretty much heavier, due to a suggestion made by me to the trading manager a while back.. ;p But oh well, although the workload is much heavier, and with very much more responsibility, it was a really good learning experience, and it should definitely help me move up much faster. hehh

Anyway, back to the topic of this post, I’m sure most people would have heard of the pareto principle? The law of the vital few which states that 80% of the results come from 20% of the action. In business terms, the top 20% of your clients usually contributes to 80% of your company’s earnings.

Have been thinking about the pareto principle these days as I guess in life, one just can’t have everything. You got to give up some things in order to get the other things you want or need. I was just talking to a colleague the other day when she was saying: on one hand, she would like her future husband to be out there making alot of money, yet on the other hand, she’d like him to spend more time with her. But oh well, its kinda hard to find someone who can satisfy both conditions. I guess this is something she probably wont be able to figure out herself until she’s met the someone who will be her future husband..

Hmmm.. so.. well.. given the limited amount of time everyone of us have in life, I guess its vital that we know what we want, and that we learn to give up on the other things that may hinder us from getting what we want. Hmmmm… this is very much easier said than done uh..

Should I just give it up?
