Not good enough

Me and procrastination seems always a good friend. I want to post something and procrastinator-me will say, do you have time to write a good blog? You usually have little patience to compose a post with good flow, have you thought of the title, and many other questions. Yes, the procrastinator-me sounds like me at work when dealing with projects. I have a series of check list which I usually ask my colleagues to ensure the project can be done […]

Conspiracy theory

That also applicable to other part like tidying up or cleaning up the house. Until my flatmate told me, can’t you just put it down since there are other priorities. What my flatmate said reminded me Ajahn Brahm’s talk, work will never ends. It will end when we decided it’s […]

Failure

This week reading is about failure.  It’s definitely not the desirable outcome for all of us. But sometimes it’s inevitable.  Yes, I failed my PMP test last week. It’s frustrating when I saw the result after the test. I’ll do better next time.
