Another tired day....

Yeah, its 7.42pm now and am just about to sign off from the office... being in a company where emails are the main form of communication is really tiring... I should think that you'd probably think I had a tired day running about, but nah, the tiredness actually came about checking through emails for approvals of proposals, followups on forecasts from my sales team, covering and making sure Customer Relations are done properly, HR issues, etc etc...

By now, I guess I should introduce myself... let's just cut it short and say, I am an IT guy. Been around IT for quite a while, about 20 years now... sigh. Yup, started from those days where we'd probably make about 40% profit just selling PCs and printers - now, you'd be thankful if you get about 5%! What a world... Will talk about this probably in one particular post, later...

Really tired, with tonnes of decisions to make... both for the office and for myself.
Made a major decision recently... not the right time to tell now though, maybe later.

But one thing's for sure, I have always had a thing or two for philosophy - and here's mine.

Though the world population grows so very rapidly, our circle of friends are not the same. We do not increase the number of friends around us over night. Friends need time to know and cultivate and its not easy nowadays to find friends who will stand by you no matter what! My favourite question to all my "would be" friends - "Would you think I've killed someone if you see me standing over a dead body with a blood stained knife in my hand?" Their "un-thought through" answer will immediately tell you if he or she is your true friend.

Don't talk about true friends, even mere friends are difficult to come by and always remember, when you find one additional friend, treasure that friend cause it simply means, you have one less enemy. So make friends, lots of 'em, you'd probably end up not having enemies at all!

Finally, if you want to test if your "friends" are friends, bring your friendship through the following "Friendship Equation"... entitled, "A Friend should be Mathematical"

A Friend should be radical
They should love when you're unlovable
Hug you when you're unhuggable
And bear with when you're unbearable.
A Friend should be fanatical
They should cheer when the whole world boos
Dance when you get good news
And cry when you cry too
But most of all
A friend should be mathematical
They should multiply the joy
Divide the sorrow
Subtract the past
And add to tomorrow
Calculate the need deep in your heart
And always be bigger than the sum of all its parts
