Priority of task...

Went to the gym after work today. Met lester there, he belongs to a group of people that i brand them as freaks, not in their looks or appearance, rather their thinking. Anyway, he is one of the person that i can really interact with in camp. We started to talk about lots of things, business management, marketing strats. I discover that we belong to the non-singaporean kind of business people, we believe in service and product, however the emphasis in not with price. This point is reiterated by qouting you a example, you are a singaporean customber, you walk in to the shop wanting to buy something, what would be your immediate concern?? 3 options, Price, Service and Product. Think about it.

He started to talk to me about the current trend in the service, he was rather quite set to leave the army in 2 years time, you sometimes just have to give it to him.For he is a graduate, but he forgoes his rank and serve and a LTA rather than CPT. Purely for the fact that he has regretted his decision as a regular and hence decide that he would not want the rank to tie him down. As he seems quite disillusioned by his current status, i proposed to him, why not go take another private degree. Since it does't matter whether you stay or not, why not take the chance while you still can, expose yourself to more field of learning. My point to him was that, it doesnt matter what do you gain from this degree, however it would be a chance to open your mind to more of the world, purely for the fact that knowledge is power. He do have the plan, ha ha, great minds do think alike =P

Then i tell him about a colleague who is also doing part time studying. This is a common friend for both me and him. How should i start this, hhmmm. Let me quote an event, i was on this guy's car, he stunned me a question, "LTA KENNY, you think ii should be more focused with my studies or work?" Hhmmm, normally people would say, studies right?? Guess what i told him, "SO, if you don't work, would you have the money to study??" To me, if you are a student, then fine, your focus is studies. however if you are a worker, perhaps the question that was popped, would rather show me your state of mind. I would dare to say that, he inside his mind, wished and pleaded that i would say studies. Well, i guessed i am the wrong person to asked after all.

Dispite what i told him, he is still the person that mixed his work and studies together time and again. When the whole world is busy working towards a deadline, he would either take leave, or he would just say in a very reluctant tone, i need to study for my exam. Lame and weak excuse... Taking up the course doesnt mean that that's all it matters. juggling between two important events at one time is stuff, nobody says it wasn't tough at all. Perhaps only when you put yourself onto such tests, you will know how strong you are.

In Combat Engineer planning has a principle; "Priority of Task" perhaps i should shed some light into this sentence. Scenario: When you have 200 hours worth of work to complete but you have only 150 hours left. MAybe you should examine what's your priority is, and by doing that you can buy time to finish the least urgent ones.

When i leave the army in Jan, i would be taking on the challenge of working and studying at the same time. "Man is like a teabag, sometimes you gonna put them in hot water, then you would know how strong it is". To be frank, i am not ready to test it, i am ready to challenge it. My mental is strong, now it would be physical. Perhaps its the fact that everyone says its very tough, i would like to pose a challenge to it. 2 Years is not very long nor short. Let it be a test of character, let it be a test of desire and drive. Isn't it boring to be in status quo all the time?? ha ha ha

Many might not agree with my thinking, but in my opinion, that would be the best arrangement for me, the utimate stage for me, sounds very gunghoh. however we shall see....

kelvin keeps buggin about a issue thats really stressing me out... dying...... help...
