Where to, now?

  1. Sometimes despite the nice, warm sunny day we can still make out storm clouds gathering and the sense of gratefulness and pleasantry is immediately tinged with a little bit of trepidation and anxiety. Such is the wheel of life that you are both at the top and the bottom at the same time! The ability to balance both, separate out the strands and finally emerge knowing clearly where you stand is important.
  2. At the moment, the trepidation lies with the people of power and authority surrounding me - the bigoted mind of you are not worthy as compared to my Pikachu who comes from this esteemed bank and billionaire family heritage, the short-sighted politician with the fixed view on everything that is rectified the next time someone points out that how wrong it is, the dogmatic intellectual who is always correct (and always wrong too) because he argues both ends of the spectrum at the same time, the manipulative leader - who unable to articulate his thoughts and is too insecure and views his time as too precious to take people through his own thought process but argues his position piecemeal until after a long, exhausting process ends up as the completed 400-peice jigsaw he intended in the first place, the seemingly secure, sophisticated urbanite who will not admit to his upbringing and is too jaded to stand up to his position, the clever technocrat who is intent to keep his hands clean of all unnecessary burden from the lower-caste society he is brought on to heal and bring to civilised world.
  3. So, where does that leave me?
  4. I suppose how I carry myself changes. Being facetious when senior is more fun. I think not being taken seriously does put me on edge.
  5. Better fashion sense, better seriousness and bringing issues and agenda that pushes the envelope. Showing better conviction. Making sure I have the right charisma to convince.
