Rethinking work-life balance

Jan 30th, 2008 | By | Category: Featured

I’m half way through “Tough Choices” by Carly Fiorina(the former CEO of HP) and one part of the book talked about how HP was, at one point, too isolated from their competition.

Anger. Hopeless-ness. Irritation. Hope. Fatigue. Sadness. All rolled into one.
That’s how I’m feeling right now. I don’t know how i’ve come to wake up to this terrible Monday morning but it’s here.
I went to bed a few hours ago feeling all excited about life in general but somehow that’s all gone now.
I’m extremely irritable [...]

Sitting in a cafe with good music in your ears at the end of a long day is one of the best feeling one could ask for. Short of spending it with your special someone, it’s like having the world just pass you by and invisible wind blow in your face telling you that you’ve [...]
