when i grow old...

When I grow old, i want to have that sense of individuality that i need.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the best thing a man can attain is his Self-Actualization.

A while ago, an employee asked me, " What would you feel if i move to another company?"

Kuya R**, is working in our company for 2 years now. Already in his late 30's, he's not yet married and no plans of settling down. According to his officemates, he has his crazy side, I am a witness to his delusions of grandeur. He was donned in his faded sweatshirt, a jeans that look years old and a comfy sneakers. I first saw him during our Christmas party with an out-of-this world dance moves. And from then on, I always joked him on it.

He was in the dilemma that if he won't get his promotion, he'll moved out. Yes, he's not getting any younger and at his age, he should be in a position superior to where he is now.

I am not stressing anymore to describe him. But i learned a lot to the people i met and talked to. Back when i was still in school, i thought that these problems can only be seen in movies but it really happens in real life.

Welcome to the real world!!!

Back at home, there was a news about a father who was fired from work, killed his wife and 5 of his children. Sometimes, we think that those are just petty problems. But with the global crisis taking its toll on us, anything must be taken of seriously.

I am working because I want to reshape my life. Aj and I want to stand on our own and prove to the rest of the world that we can make it.

I am working because I have a purpose and goals in life which i want to attain starting now.

I want to discover who I really am so that when I get old, I can proudly say that i haven't stagnate my skills.

And most importantly, I want to succeed in the battle called LIFE.
