Work in Progress

Early this year, I remember giving an overview of how far we had come as a blog. I had also shared my goals for 2011 regarding this blog. For the early part of the year, I had spent time drafting and writing my proposals to various organisations.

However our efforts seem to have paid off. Last week Friday, we received an urgent call from a company seeking our expertise in the use of social media ( sorry, I can’t be more specific). We’re also assisting a small medium enterprise achieve it’s goals within the social media world.

What goals have you set out to achieve this year? The month of March offers you the opportunity to review your goals and objectives. Get to work and bring those dreams alive.

Word of the Month

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life too seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?

It’s okay, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, enjoy your friends, fall in love, little fights with your loved ones. We are people, not programmed devices.

Don’t be serious, be sincere.

I came across these words and I thought it’d be a good idea of encouraging everyone out there to live life while taking out time to sniff the roses. Have a great week peeps.
