Peer Pressure


I guess this is not only happen to myself, but to most of the people in the society.

When you grow older, do you feel like avoiding to meet up with you circle of schoolmates, ex-colleagues, ex-bosses etc? If yes, you are probably bored with the measurement that put onto you which you never ask for.

Why there are people interested to probe how well you are doing? Have you married? How many kids you have? How are your kids doing in school? Do you play golf? What car you are driving? Seems those topics are getting more and more common.

Even for good friends who don't ask such questions, some are less willing to share their innermost feelings.

The bright side of it, you will start to make friend with loneliness. Sometimes you don't mind to do things alone. The best part of it, you know who is the one really caring about you and who are the person that you care most. Obviously you spent more time with your family. It has crossed a point whereby last time you prefer to spent time with friends and ignoring your family. Then you start learning to be true to yourself. You no longer beg for favoritism. Just be your own-self who you are comfotable with,

Main computing server companies with names of ascending characters count


Just find out this interesting trivial during customer discussion. The customer told us something about another server hardware company by referring it to the "3 letters company"...

That trigger me to think, the 5 main server companies have name with ascending letters count:
HP - 2 letters
IBM - 3 letters
Dell - 4 letters
Cisco - 5 letters
Oracle - 6 letters

One intriguing points though, not sure if the number of letters has anything to do with their market leadership.

The dream for every man


Seems this guy is really lucky... ahem...

Creative WORLD RECORD 1000 Boobs in Russia

An epitome of Occupy Wall Street


In fact, this post is not going to talk about the recent global uprising against the elite class. I worked for a respectable multinational company. Today, i had lunch with a colleague of mine who is very successful, and highly looked up upon by many people in our company. He had shared some of his friends' success story, who can be viewed as cream of the crop by many regular employees including myself. At the end, he sighed for where he is ending up now. However, in the eyes of mine, he is already quite a high achiever. I dare say he is probably among the top 5% in terms of corporate pyramid in our country.

The old saying that "Greed is a bottomless pit" can't be more true. I have to say my colleague is a smart, good-nature, cheerful and friendly guy, but yet he can't escape from the desire of success. This is how the society is operating now, and we see a accelerated hallowing out of the middle class. The worrying part is that we have reach a juncture that you will make it to the top or slip to the drain.

I can't escape that too.
