wow ---> orh ---> argh/ 8:55 PM I don't know how others feel, I'm just blogging about my own feelings. Some months ago, I became a "fan" of some fan page on Facebook. Within the next few days, I receive a message from that fan page in my inbox. That moment, I was thinking, "Wow, things have progressed huh. That's a good avenue of publicity!" Then, one week later, I received another message, talking about some internal administrative stuff. And then another week later, I receive another message, this time about some operational stuff. This time, I was like, "Orh ok lor. Thanks for the update"... Then a few days later, I received ANOTHER message, talking about some event. THEN a few days later, ANOTHER message, and ANOTHER, ANOTHER, ANOTHER... All within the same month!!! Seriously, from that moment on, I started treating the messages from that fan page as spam. Click and delete, don't even need to see it. If it's not due to some emotional attachments, I would really just un-subscribe from it. Don't overdo, don't overkill. It's always a fine line between being professional and impersonal. It's a fine line between being high profile and elitist. It's also a fine line between working hard and trying too hard. It's not easy. But we always try, and learn in the process. |

What Maketh a Man/ 12:23 AM Was surfing the net a moment ago and found this this article about "Top 10 Traits in a Real Man" on askmen.com. The contents of it may be provocative/ extreme (I've edited part of it to make it less so), but the traits itself does make sense. Here goes... A REAL MAN READS Trait #1: A real man is strong A real man doesn’t whine. He seldom or don’t emo. He makes decisions and lives with the consequences. He accepts responsibility for his actions and his words. He takes up responsibilities. A real man is firm. If life is a b*tch, a real man will slap it and move on. A real man is the backbone of his family and doesn't have time to be weak. Trait #2: focus A man does everything for a purpose with a grand aim in life. Trait #3: A real man knows the importance of family A real man will keep his family strong and pass on his ancestors' history and traditions. A real man must also remember his other Family, his organization. Trait #4: A real man doesn't gossip Trait #5: A real man's word is his bond When a real man makes a promise, he keeps it. If he can't keep a promise, he doesn't give his word. A real man would rather die than break his word. Trait #6: A real man strives to be a role model A real man respects himself and others at all times, unless, of course, he has been disrespected. Trait #7: A real man makes his own fortune A real man doesn't settle for handouts or charity when it comes to his personal fortune. A real man isn't satisfied with papa's money. He spits on Lady Luck and decides his own destiny. A real man who inherits goods from his forefathers takes his inheritance and turns it into 10 times what it was. Trait #8: A real man doesn't look like a woman Trait #9: A real man keeps his house in order Trait #10: A real man can defend himself I think, it should be written as "A real man can fend for himself". A real man is one that can survive no matter what. A person who is independent. I think, there should be a trait 11: A real man can take care of himself and others. It is when you can take care of others that you can truly be a real man. |
