Career update

just realize I have not blogging for several months. Time flies... anyway
UPDATE UPDATE
I'm getting into real estate business. I have been busy with current job and studying for my up coming real estate exam. The exam is not my concern, but I am worrying more about the customers aspect; where the hell do I go to find customer??? But anyway, as a "Negotiator" I tend to worry too much about the future. Oh just in case you don't know, Negotiator is one of the main personality types. I highly recommend the book called Why Hime Why Her by Helen Fisher, discussing our personality traits and who is the ideal match ;)

maggots

I haven't been eating home for quite a while. Today, after several days unattended, I opened my rice cooker and saw a horrible scene... maggots!! OMG, I don't know how could that happen. I guess because of the summer, heat, flies, and turned-over food I left in the cooker, turn into maggots :(
 What a horrible sight! But from that, it led me to different thoughts; about life, and death. Not to be discourage, but when people die, there will be maggots ...and everyone die. No matter how rich, how poor, how good looking, how ugly, how tall, how fat, how popular or famous, everyone dies and that's the fact of life.  No I'm not crazy telling you about nonsense stuffs; I'm trying to get into an experience I have encounter recently...
              Last weekend, I went to a party -a biggest private party I've ever been to. The house was located on the shore of a bay, just a few steps and there was water. They also have a boat, equipped with appliances and everything. I took a harbor tour on the boats, along with 30s other people and the owner. Life is amazing! Everyone on earth is almost the same; we breath the same air (O2) eat cooked foods; we all have 24hrs a day, 365 days a year; yet how come somes are more successful than others. I guess success is hard to measure, but lets name two people: TA & TD.
- TA was a post office clerks for over 20 years; TD was an engineer but laid off, switch to real estate broker
- TA is a spiritual man going to church every Sunday; TD is a businessman openhouse every Sunday
- TA was married with 1 kid, and divorced wife left for a younger man; TD stilled married and 2 kids
- TA doesn't have a home, keep moving now and then; TD have a house by the beach hosting party twice a year
- TA doesn't have many friends and accepting mistreated sometimes; TD have many friends and connections
- TA never been on vacation outside the state, TD has been to many places, including outside US
- TA doesn't drink; TD had several DUIs
...
the list keep growing and growing. But at the end, I guess everyone will end up at the same place. Now, the question we should ask... why should we strike too high if we are gonna end up at the same place? ...or, no matter what, we all gonna end up at the same place so why not making the most meaning out of it and strike until our last breath?
