We Choose To...


i had just finished chairing a meeting for my committee when suddenly i am called by a colleague to inform all department staff about something that should obviously be done by everyone.

...

i got promoted November last year.

and i got to be a chairman of what i consider a main committee that will lead the company to go further at the end of last year.

so i have my own committee members who have only been in the company for at most 4 months.

and they are sometimes really, really being immature.

and i recently get some hints from my Big Boss that i should be promoted to another level.

he always asks me: "when?"

i do not only need to maintain of what i have now, but i also need to upgrade myself.

it has been quite hard for me these few months;

that i feel like i want to throw everything and just be homeless.

but...


"its hazards are hostile to us all. its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. 

but why, some say, the moon? 

why choose this as our goal? 

and they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? 

why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? 

why does Rice play Texas? 

we choose to go to the moon. 

we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

- John F. Kennedy

...

by the way, being homeless is not easy; and it is definitely not listed as one of my choices. i said it just because.
