Live your life

Do we? I don’t know and I say nobody knows. It’s one of those existential questions in the same category as “what is the meaning of life?”. It’s healthy to ask oneself such things, but not to demand an answer.

If in doubt, turn left. It doesn’t matter where left is, it’s just not straight. When you question your own destiny then there’s something obstructing the view, so you need a new perspective, and to get it you just need to think out of the box and take another approach, hence turn left.

My roommate asked me that first question yesterday, and today this beautiful and sweet girl just out of a relationship posted on her Facebook wall “how many times can you fall in true love?”. To the second I answered once, and to both I replied “you’ll know you lived it when you’re living it”.

In the end those questions lead nowhere except to the proof that you’re depressed in some way. So just live what you have now and worry about the future you can provoke, take opportunities for what they are: a chance to make something great happen to you, and DO NOT hold back because you think you know what’s going to happen.

To close I’ll just say the following: don’t wait for that once-in-a-lifetime thing, because both death and true love both are one, but if you wait you won’t know which one will come first…

Views

At the time of this post I have strong doubt anyone read this, but I know that eventally searches will be done and discoveries will be made.
Hence I will write, I will talk, I will converse... with myself for now. ;-)

Some have suggested I learn to write a novel, other to write a book I could call "Ze weird schitt".
In the end I think I won't do anything and just inspire the people who are ready to listen.

May thou all quenche thy thirst for more, more of whatever it may be, with the wonderous supply of information and access of the internet, because I'm pretty sure you found this post with some known search engine.

If you have any suggestion of subjects to talk about I would most definitely like to hear about them, creativity os not my forte, but perspective is.

Cheers!

Back to basics

So I'm back, here to inform and instruct. First to inform about the ongoings of projects, keeping people posted on my life, for friends, family, etc. Second to instruct on a way of life known mainly to myself but that I preach as one people should at least take a look at and maybe learn from; that may seem arrogant, but the truth is that I know how good I feel about myself and how people invariably sadden themselves at their... "misfortunes".
We all breath the same air, we're all children of God, we all die some day... yeah... no. We just all want to be happy and have fun... definitely yes!
So cheer up and smile to the world. It won't always smile back, but at least there's one more person smiling... you.
So here we go!!

Sophrology

Many people take their lives too seriously and some not enough; so as I would more set myself in the second category I am inclined to try to help others reach a closer understanding of how they may get closer to it without necessarily reaching it.
For those who still are at GE, remember that in the last weeks of 2006 the company organized a weeks of free activities that were there to help you relax, and one of those activities was sophrology.

It may seem like not much, but if taken seriously it is a practice that could help anyone reach any desired level of inner peace, a possibility that too few even consider.

So just enjoy life and rest in peace...

New Years (like everyone else)

For those who might still be reading some of this.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I personally had a great one, the kind where you don't drink but have fun as if you had 3 grams of alcohol at the tip of each finger. A real blast! All in the company of a few very nice ladies, ex-students of the school I attend.

But all good things come to an end and now it's back to studying: books, homework, stress, exams, grades, notes, rumors. Not so much of a blast...

I hope all you are having fun and enjoying your free time.

enjoy!

now is for the time of goodbyes to all...

Note that farewell means the wish for a good trip, and for the moment my journey has not begun just yet. So worry not, for we will meet again soon.

I only say goodbye to the people I met here as to show them that I am sad to leave them so soon. It has been a gripping experience and I will surely not forget the most delightful time I had with all. There is no one person to thank, so I thank them all. I only wish I had more time to do so.

To say a word about GE, well, I now understand the enthusiasm my finance teacher had when referring to it. It has great values and really puts forward the one who matters the most: that small individual worker who with his neighbor will make things happen. It's like an ant's nest where coordination is key and when one member falls the rest feel. But it doesn't only see things small, it also makes things as big as the planet's health matter just as much; values are based on using the best out of people to make the world a better place for all; now this may seem ambitious, but the best one can do is try... and GE sure does.

Values aside, all that is left is for me is to note that i have absolutely no regrets and I wish to live such an inviting experience once more.


Life does go on, but now the path has gotten a whole lot nicer...

I can't find anything else to do so I am now going to list the different things I learned here at GE:

- if I saw an airplane in the sky and it were making a racket, I would then say: "IF IT WAS A G.E.-MADE ENGINE IT WOULDN'T MAKE ALL THAT NOISE!!!". Some people may call that brainwashing, I call it understanding values.

- workwise... nothing much, I spent half my time here, & I am being generous, fiddling with my thumbs, & I do regret not being more proactive. But I do have strong thumbs now! :-)

- I also finally learned that wherever you go you will always meet the best people in the world and that there's no need to go looking for them at the far end of this planet, mots of the time they will even be you next door neighbors.

- in a certain way it was also made clear to me that smoking is bad, drinking is bad, watching TV is bad, eating junkfood is bad, and a lot of other things are bad; but the real lesson is that there's no worth living if there is no risk of ending it, or in a less extreme way: carpe diem quad minimum credula postero... seize the day and trust not the morrow; nothing is sure about it, so why live on assumptions.

- enjoy...

Here I am living my before last day at GE Healthcare.
I must say that it has been a long stay, & in the end I realized that I really did enjoyed it.
But the goodbyes, regrets, and thank-yous will come tomorrow.
For now I can only regret leaving the people from the bi-weekly basketball games, I met some wonderful and very interesting people there. If it weren't for those matches I would have gained 20kg and grown long hair and a beard. Instead I now play like Vince Carter and only gained a few bruises.
