Busy...

I find it hard to believe i can get so busy when i don't even have a 9-5 part time job. I conduct 3 tuition sessions a week, that's all the work i do and yet i feel bogged down.


Case in point: I woke up at 8am today, went to BBDC for driving class, then proceeded in Pasir Ris for an interview at the place i'll be volunteering for the next 4 years (at least i hope i will be) and ended the day with a tuition class in Choa Chu Kang.


Tomorrow: have driving class again, then tuition class in the evening.


Thursday: driving class and either a CEO talk at SMU or my volunteer orientation. Argh...


I don't have time to spend with Ariel! Sigh, My poor dear...


In other news, i'm addicted to reading Fortune magazine. At the SMU Vivace (ECA Day) they gave us 2 copies of Fortune magazine. I read them on the way back and i was instantly hooked. For some reason, Ariel doesn't seem to think they're very interesting..


Now, i don't think i'll ever become a CEO in my life. Its an awful lot of decision making that i don't think any amount of law school can prepare you for. Asians on the whole are not very decisive people. Face is mighty important and the reluctance to take drastic measures stifles our executive ability some.


What i do know is though, that I have the ability to excel and i owe it to God and to myself to realise that potential. I may never become CEO, but if i do not do my damn best in whatever field i'm in; please give me a slap in the face.


That said, i have no idea what i want to do in life. I know, i haven't even entered business school yet but goals are important no? Singapore has a dearth of effective management. I want to be able to solve that, i want to learn critical decision making and how to be an effective leader. I think Singapore really needs that now. Its always said that we are a hardworking people and sometimes i think to myself: "How on earth can that be? From what i see, no one takes their work seriously at all" I think workers on the whole are disenchanted by being a small cog in the massive economic machine. This hurts morale and we're just starting to see how bad it really is.


Simply put, we lack the hunger. To put it bluntly, we lack the hunger to own the competition. Are there solutions?


Again, my experience of the working world is incredibly limited but as far as i know but i've yet to see someone who truly likes his job.
