Too much of anything

Seems like forever since I wrote. Ironic since I write for work every single day. For some reason a deadline makes anything you love lose its essence. I wonder if a coffee taster savors every sip at work the way every coffee lover does each morning? Does a singer really love to sing the same (popular) song that brought him/her fame every fortnight at concerts? The magic of composing the song is far from the reality of re-singing it like a broken record. I'm the kind of person who, when I fall in love with a song tend to obsess and listen to it over and over till I reach a certain point when I think the song isn't so great after all. I wonder if a career in what you love can make you actually dislike it at some point?  ok lets be practical, any career will make you dislike it at some point ;) The logic makes sense even if we were to put it into a relationship cycle. Boy girl fall madly in love - can't get enough of each other and decide to get married - then they ...

What kind of success do you want?

Everyone wants to be successful!There's no doubt about that!! But what kind of success? Is it achievement of the highest honor or the accomplishment of something you have always dreamed of? Is it a standard we set for ourselves or one that society sets for us? Its probably a mixture of both. When we're measuring someone else's success we look at the medals on his walls, the large mansion he has or the kind of car he has in his driveway. How often do we look at the person he is? How often do we look up to the success of a man who may be a sweeper.. his so called achievements daily would be a clean floor, there are no medals to prove that, there is most definitely no large house or vehicle that can show the measure of his success. But sometimes there is way more success there than in that large mansion. In today's world a man's worth is measured by mere worldly things; things that money can buy. Which means we're really associating success with the guy...

Happiness

Sometimes I wonder why we lead the lives that we lead? Why does the milkman distribute first thing in the morning.. the hawkers are in the market at dawn.. fishermen bringing back their catch.. why do kids get up and go to school.. parents rushing to work... where are we all rushing to? and more importantly why are we going to that one place when a new day begins? Are we doing this because we need to sustain our families? What is the driving force? Fear of poverty for some, lack of sufficient needs,want for more for the upper classes... We all tell ourselves this is the life we asked for, this is the life God has given us, this is the life we dreamed of! But amidst all these thoughts,what is it that really matters to us? For a baby just to be held in his mothers arms, for a child it might be going to school to show his friend his new toy, for a teenager to look at his secret crush, for the young adult how he's going to reach his goal, for the middle aged man how he is going to pr...

DOGGIES N LOVE :)

Image
To me dogs are THE most adorable creatures on the planet! I love dogs! I love the way they're tails are always wagging in friendly welcome! The way they hang out their tongues and salivate, the way they perk their ears at the slightest noise..and the way they're soooooo happy just to be running around acting busy:) I am extremely passionate about them!! I dunno why but all I have to do is just see a dog pass by and it makes me smile!! I meet one and it makes my day! Its not so with everyone else!! I know lots of people who will walk an extra road just to avoid a dog!! I think that if you've ever had a dog or at-least interacted quite a bit with one you'd feel just the way I do! Because I don't know any other living being who will be so happy to see you.. for absolutely no reason.. its beyond my understanding :) and with the same enthusiasm!! Its awfully sweet !! And what I love the most about them is that they are so loving.. towards anyone! They don't care how...
