Tony Navarro, bless his generous soul, only personally met me once at the CEST Office, and that time was for an interview...well sort of. I think I got the job but the CEO wanted me to meet with him and I was intrigued. Well, since his surname is Navarro and my dad's oldest sibling (my aunt Helen or Tita Nena as we call her had married a Navarro: Tito Oguing, who belonged to the Surigao clan of politicians)...but well maybe that will be another entry some day.
However, Sir Tony (my STC training has ingrained in me the habit of calling other people either Sir, Miss or Madam) was kind enough to let me start borrowing from his collection of management books. I started reading this morning "The Tipping Point". I'm only in the section of Connectors, Mavens and Salesmen.
I am beginning to like this book. Granted, Prof Sonny had made me interested in this before, but that was probably because he is just a very good presentor of ideas...he can make a dull subject sound fascinating...really..
Early today, I suddenly had this thought out of the blue. By golly, I think I'm a connector, or..at least I can be if I just left myself go. That bears more thinking. I'm older, not necessarily wiser, and I'm unhappy with the thought that I'm actually less daring than I was before. Tsk..tsk..this isn't good.
I like people, really I do..but deep down I think I am a loner. Weird huh? Or maybe I just need some off time to recharge and to be myself before I can surround and be pulled into other people's worlds....
The call of my stomach interrupts my thoughts before they become too introspective.
Being older makes you prioritize your stomach more than introspection? Bad sign.
ReplyDeleteI beg to disagree (reminds me of a classmate). The older one gets, the bigger picture becomes more clear. My priorities are pretty straightforward nowadays. Simple and direct. Like a baby's..(^_^)
