True Love Behind British Classic Check
Merriam Webster just simply defines true love as 'one truly beloved or loving'. But human does not experience true love as simply as its definition, and not every human has luck to experience it. In my view, the statement says that ‘life is not fair’ is also applicable for true love.
For myself ‘true love’ is still remaining a wish. Will I be one of the lucky human in this earth to have that super luxury stuff? Haha… From Dale Carnegie, Paulo Coelho, Anthony Robins, to Rhonda Byrne will have sounded choir: ‘You must believe’. Okay I will.
Meanwhile I am waiting for that, I would like to share a little story of Christopher Bailey, the Burberry designer. The name never came across to me until last year when I had my work there. I saw him once in the project briefing. He looks so down-to-earth guy, far away from the image of fashion designer for high value British brand. Simple, low profile and lot of smiles.
Once I read in the interview article sent into my inbox. From that story I found about his true love in his life. He puts love not only in his personal life, but at his work as well. Touching and inspiring story.
Below are the links to few articles on him:

And from this video we can see how humble he is:

My Grass is Greener
I can’t imagine myself doing the same routine in the same organization for many years. 10 years. 20 years. Or even more. I told this to Mrs Marlina when she asked me whether I feel boring or not working as SAP Consultant which always repeats the same cycle again and again in every project. My grass is greener, I thought.
Even though the cycle is same, but there are other factors which make the project different from one to another. People, culture, organization, industry, location and the challenge are kept changing. Those things make me not feeling boring.
‘Working in end user is not boring as well’, said Mrs Marlina in return. End User is a term referring to the client which consulting company works for. We can get promotion and the challenge is different from one level to another.
Aha.., challenge! She is right. That is the key that make our work not boring. No matter in which organization or industry we are working on. No matter for how long. As long as the challenge exists and we enjoy handling it, then we do not have time to feel boring.
In the world that change is the only constant every organization has its own challenges. And it is not only vertical but horizontal as well. From promotion, employee turn over, new regulation, new competitor, technology, until the latest issues on oil price raising and climate changing.
I am wrong! My grass is not (always) greener
