People around Us

There is something unique, different in all of us, that make the people in our lives that extra special. When you look at the people in your life you know that you are blessed.



People in our lives, are very important to us in each and every way. We have people in our lives that are special to us in different ways, they share a special interest to us. We can love people in other ways, whether it be in friendship, be in love, be in caring.

A weekend stroll at KLCC park made me realize that there are more to it than what lies beyond the viewfinder.


Brotherhood or sisterhood? Whatever it is, it is family.


Best friends or couple? No matter which it is, companionship sums it all.



Eventually, either one will have to let go.

Do not be grumpy.



Always remember to smile. That will put a smile on others too.



Shooting skill 1 : I just love shooting people who shoots other things.



Shooting skill 2.



Shooting skill 3 : My favourite. Professionalism even without a proper camera.



No matter what, we know that people in our lives come in for a reason.



There are some that are in our lives for a while, some that are for a brief time, some that touch our hearts. For the people in our lives reflect of on who we are, they make us feel special, make us feel good.



Oh yea, and there is nothing better than basking under the morning sun.

Why do we work hard?

There remains this enormous and wicked sociocultural myth. It is this: Hard work is all there is. Work hard and the world respects you. Work hard and you can have anything you want. Work really extra super hard and do nothing else but work and ignore your family and spend 14 hours a day at the office and make 300 grand a year that you never have time to spend, you sublimate your soul to the corporate machine and enjoy a profound drinking problem and sporadic impotence and a nice mini-mansion you never spend any time in, and you with your shiny BMW M6 Coupé will get into heaven.




Why do we dedicate so many of our waking and sometimes sleeping hours to our job, often to the cognizant exclusion of friends, family, and other loved ones? Most of us said we felt we have put in too many hours for a good work - life balance but, if we knew that, why carry on doing it? Was it just the protestant work ethic?




The main reason seemed to be job satisfaction . There is no satisfaction in doing a job badly so rather than be unsatisfied we chose to over work. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right. Is it worth working till you break down?




And what will the best solution? Like I’d know! However, being more fully aware of the options and consequences and asking the right questions is a good place to start. So, if we are overworked, ask the question "Why am I doing this?" Reasons like "Because I have to" isn’t a valid answer.





Although I already sound like an agony aunt and this will make it more so, if you are in a relationship and work is an issue then try and talk the questions through together. Nothing beats going back home to the people you love at the end of the day.

Make a promise to sit down to dinner with your family and love ones each night. Not only does this force you to break your work-focus, but it also means sitting down to a relaxed meal with the people who love and need you.












So, why do we work hard? When will be the time that we actually need to pull the plug and cool down a little?




Or should we just call it quit?




I will leave that to you.
