Ambition-Desire-Aspiration

“I have no ambition” I remember saying this out loud some other day What had happened ? I really don’t know So what? Did I mean it? I think so. I’m not that loose with my mouth .ha! ha! Though I cannot remember what had happened I do know it was something to do with work. I can’t complain about my job. I gave up long ago hoping to be a bit shot in the company I guess you could say I’m myopic when it comes to qualifications and careers I don’t believe one needs a degree to be a manager I’m sticking to my guns on that I actually decided not to get a degree just to prove my point and guess what I proved it! I’ve got a job with degree and masters’ holders as my peers How? God’s grace I know I’m bright but I also know I can be stupid and irrational at times So what? They’re all like me at times (some are like that most of the time) What’s my point? I have no ambition in the workplace as I have no desire to lick someone’s but to go up the corporate ladder I will also not play second fiddle to someone who holds more certificates than I do from overseas universities and colleges No! I refuse I will humbly show them that what I learnt in high school and the world is enough to teach them how they can better handle their jobs and not keep on asking me things they ought to know So in the work place I respect authority but I will not go an extra mile to seek recognition in case that person will determine what mu next job will be I will not. I just pray that God steers me in the right direction and I do His bidding Actually I’m tired of working and need to come up with a business plan in the next month and be done with all this stuff 

Compliments of the new year!

That's my sign off line to people I've been emailing for the first time this year. :) What does it really mean? For me it just means i'm lazy to find out how they are doing and how their new year's going. And i also probably never sent them a message in the wee hours of the first day of 2013. Those close to me that I normally call or chat with daily are the ones I sent messages in the early hours of 2013 wishing them all the good things for 2013 Oh! That’s what this post is meant to be about What are the compliments for the New Year? (just saw my grammar/spell check wanted capitalization on new year- so it is a big thing…..) Almost everyone wishes the next person a happy new year And a prosperous one at that Seriously, wouldn’t you be happy with prosperity? I actually thought the compliments for the New Year should be along the lines of good health, better prospects, success at finishing that thing you started last year, finally DOING that thing you’ve been putting on every New Year’s resolution list, and all the nice stuff you’d wish to befall the next person you care about So what about my compliments on business emails to sometimes strangers? I do it to lighten the mood What if they never got a happy new year message from anyone in their contact list at work? Do you think they’ll even get time to be thinking about their resolutions whilst at work? Hardly likely unless they’re work resolutions Why do I say that? Because work-wise for the bulk of us, a new year is just a restart to last year’s cycle and not many of us look at that with open hands It’s most likely to be just another day and all the fanfare is forgotten and you need to come to speed with what’s now demanding your attention in the IN tray So sometimes it’s just nice to send that one email wishing people a happy new year and maybe thank them for the one past coz they made it what is was and without them you may not be feeling that light headed as you read your first email for the year I’m just saying send someone a happy new year email coz it’ll change the way they think you think about them It’ll be positive believe u me. HAPPY NEW YEAR! (it’s never late for someone you haven’t conversed with coz they don’t know how long your holiday was and how much time you spent going thru mails that came in whilst you were out of office. So make it THE FIRST email)
