Reflection

Lately, I've been doing lots of reflecting on my life and what I have done thus far...
I suppose now that this year is coming to an end, it is time to evaluate what I have achieve this year and where I would like my life to be next year...
I have to say I have discovered quite a lot about myself this year, things that I have thought for years to be one of my top priority, while still important to me, I've realised that it is not the be all or end all if I don't achieve it...

On another hand, the events of this year so far have made me realise that the things that I have put on hold for the last few years of my life with the excuse of, "I'll have time for that later", it actually things that is important and matter in life...
I've also come to appreciate simplier things in life, such as health...
Maybe it is a sign of growing up? Whatever it is, it is definately an interesting turn of things for me...

I for one am excited to see what 2012 will hold, bring on 2012 year of completion!

To be headhunted...

What does it mean to be headhunted?
Does it mean one has made it in life?

Well, not necessary, one thing that you can be certain of if you get headhunted is; your career is heading in the right direction.

It doesn't mean that you will be guaranteed at least a 6 figure pay check.

However what it does mean is that:
- you are good at what you do
- your line of work is in demand.
- you are doing something right at work

One take out from my experience is, try not to get ahead of yourself if you do get a call like this. Don't mislead the recruitment agent, they can help you to get to where you want to be, but at the same time always remember that the world isn't that big after all. People talk and people know people.
Watch who you are talking to and don't offend people where possible. Don't burn bridges and keep doors open because this will give one the best chance of success in life.

This is probably applicable in all aspect of life.
