My last post was in January?? na wa o!
how have you all been? I want to believe we all managed to keep our heads above water these turbulent, crises ridden, life changing times of the past 11 months?
I have certainly changed, no doubt about that. Learnt a lot about myself, and my ability to deal with stress and change... which sadly, isnt as great as I thought it was.
I also learnt that I worry too much about things... and that I expect too much from people. The most common acccusation this year against me is that standards to which I hold people to are too high. I have no apologies for that.
If you want to do something, especially if you're getting paid for it.. then quit complaining and telling stories and deliver the goods as agreed! Abi no be so ee suppose be?
I try not to get involved in talk about Nigerian politics and state of affairs because I realised we just sit and bitch about things without being ready to lift a finger to change anything. That is what the ravenous wolves (read politicians and associates) take advantage of... our population of supine lambs bleating piteously and doing nothing to stand firm against the scourge while being repeatedly raped, pillaged, plundered and generally shagged mentally/psychologically/emotionally/physically!!
Anyways... how did I digress into that... my businesses are up and running, the transition from employee to employer has been tupsy-turvy to say the least. Satisfying though tough.
The business world is colder than a witch's tit believe me... no be for small minded or feeble people. Everyone is out to get their pound of flesh, even though they didnt put any effort into producing it. Customers and staff alike.
My plans for 2011 are in advanced stages of implementation now and I look forward to the new year with some anticipation. Family life, business, love, sex, me-time, etc... all will get a boost!
I met some amazing people this year.... saw some amazing things... heard some amazing words.. did some amazing things... none so amazing as my new daughter... I'm thinking of adding amazing to her birth certificate..
Lifestyle changes... thought pattern changes, better personal discipline (much needed), and clear, unwavering focus on the goal is the way forward for any serious young man (yes! 41 is young na?)
Here's to all of you my great and good friends... a very merry Christmas is wished you and a most prosperous new year ahead!
