(From money.cnn.com -Business 2.0: My Golden Rule)
Ivan Seidenberg
Chairman and CEO, Verizon
My first boss -- he was the building superintendent, and I was a janitor -- watched me sweep floors and wash walls for almost a year before he mentioned that I could get tuition for college if I got a job with the phone company. When I asked him why he'd waited so long, he said, "I wanted to see if you were worth it."
The message: Work hard, have high standards, and stick to your values, because somebody's always watching.

Naalala ko bigla yung mga Sabadong gumigising ako't excited kumain ng taho. Tapos tutunganga lang sa harap ng tv at uubusin ang mga cartoons sa umaga bago maligo...Masaya lang, masaya.
Anong kinalaman nun kay Ivan Seidenberg, kela Warren Buffet at sa iba pang kasama sa article sa taas, beats me. Pero masarap lang isipin that the world is filled with so many inspiring people, at mraming rason para maging masaya kahit hindi Sabado bukas.
Pero Sabado bukas! Yeeehaw.
p.p.s
sabi ni pareng ivan 'somebody's always watching.'
Uhm God, pwede matanong...I know you're watching, uhm, so how am I faring? Wala na kasing classcard ngayon e...di ko alam kung anong grade ko. Thanks.

Blues out. Yellows in.
There's nothing like getting 8 hours of sleep on a work night. That sounds...urk...sad? Reeks of some complaining even.
Okay, erase, erase. Of course there are a lot of things much like getting 8 hours of sleep. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it does make one see the better things in life easier. Like say, not being too tired to read, or write, or see that the sun's up and the dust particles are dancing around once more basking in what Ms. Tiambeng described as the Tyndall effect. I don't know if I remembered it right, but the happy memories of seeing sunny Sunday lighting feels just about right.
Thing is, last week's been quite a downer..for no apparent reason. Of course there are reasons, but not legitimate ones, not reasonable enough to feel sad. But who's to say what's reason enough to feel sad? I can. I should. At least for my life, I should know what should and shouldn't get me down. Sometimes I feel like a living a movie with the director giving real-time commentary. The director says don't do this, don't feel that, but the actor won't listen. The hard part is, they're one and the same person. HAh, sounds schizo to me.
Must've watched too much of John Nash. (Mental Note: Truly touching documentary from Jenny. "Brilliant Madness")
Weniwei, to get off the overly-dramatic mode, I said, "I resign."
Not from work. But from being the diva director. Sometimes I get too engrossed with making this opus turn out into a blockbuster that I forget to have fun. So I told God, "I resign." Turned over the reins to Him once more, and took my seat as asst. director of this show called life.
It still hasn't been all bright and sunny Kermity-froggy all happy happy lately, but things have been coming along well. Cue in, uplifting music right about...here. :)
Things to be happy about on a Wednesday:
1. 8 hours of sleep
2. choco-chip mini empanadas
3. Jenny liking the story (me, finishing the story!)
4. good people around
5. chicken bbq
6. happy daddy & mommy
7. knowing that things will be all right
8. approved boards
9. Bo Sanchez!
10. appreciation
11. beautiful sunsets even on foggy days
