| The Bone-chilling Night Here I was sitting in the center of the world staring at the dynamic moving pictures before my eyes drowning my mind in the mind-blowing words and images hoping they are real in my physical world only to reveal the bitter truth of my picture's mind of life |

Running a Household Is Like Running a Company
 Yes, in terms of economy, running a household is like running a company. As a matter of fact, a household is an essential element in microeconomics. A households provides human resources to capitalists, who later on produce goods and services, which later on are consumed by households. But I'm not going to discuss the role of households in microeconomics. Here, I would like to discuss similarities between running a household and a company. In a company, financial planning is indispensable for a better future, and so is in a household. A household needs to plan for future income to cover future costs and future needs. Failure to make a sound plan for making a better income will result in financial bankruptcy, and nobody likes this kind of disaster. Just like in a company, a household must needs keep a sound accounting. It is important that a household keeps track of where the money comes from and where the money goes. This financial record is very helpful in a sense that it provides information on how secure a household is in terms of finance. Accounting will inform us whether the household we are running is accumulating wealth or suffering a financial loss. In a company, human resources management is essential. In a household, it is strongly advisable that everyone in the household be aware of the vision that their leader is pursuing for the sake of ultimate success of the household. The leader of the household must have a sound leadership skill to deal with the members of the household to fulfill their shared interests. Failure to apply this principle will result in confusion and dissatisfaction among the household members and will bring about a severe disruption to the household's work. The leader of the household is responsible for bringing out the best in every member and patiently nurturing them so as to be able to achieve their success together. In conclusion, the success factors that apply in a company such as financial planning, sound accounting, and human resources management are also applicable in a household. |

Judge Me As You Like
| So you think I'm useless and I'm just a little fish in a big pond? Well, who do you think you are? A big fish in a big pond? I don't care what you think I am. If you think you're a big fish, I would love to fry you and eat you. I love to eat fish. So you think I'm a stick-in-the-mud? Well, you have no idea what I'm going through. To say that I'm a stick-in-the-mud is oversimplifying the circumstances which I'm called upon to encounter. Everyone's life is unique and complicated if you consider what happens on the inside of the individual and what happens on the outside. Now, let me sit back and enjoy my evening with a cup of tea and let me make some scribbles on the insignificance. So you think I have no vision? The stars above are twinkling and somehow they call up a sweet memory of my being a twinkle in my father's eye. Was I supposed to anticipate being brought into the world then? I don't know. I don't remember. And now, you tell me how far I can go? Can you go that far? As far as the stars reside up there? Do they even exist? Are we really looking at things just where they are? Are they only reflections in our brain? You tell me. Are you saying I'm responsible for a catch of a bright star and shows it off among the desperate? Oh great, now you're telling me I should catch it for my own sake? For my own sake, please you disappear along with the dust which irritates my eyes. I'm quite content to sit here with my mind wandering over the unreachable. |

Lucky SOB
"Nice house", I commented as a friend of mine was leading me a tour at his new house a few weeks later after his wedding day. "I know", he was perversely proud. "My parents bought it for me and my wife as a wedding gift. The new car outside is a wedding gift too from them." "Lucky SOB...", I soliloquized spontaneously. "What?" "Oh, I was saying it's really great..." "It was my mother who introduced my wife to me." "Speaking of luck!" "I know..." Having left his house, I went home chanting prayers for the dead. |
