it's a celeberation...

u know in the ol skool indian flicks we alwayz huv this type of storyline.. biler byk sgt adversity pastuh lu org punyer nasib selalu buruk.. pastuh hero(heroin) masuk temple pastuh make a judgement ngan god die.. giler bai.. if u got sumthin bad or u things dont go ur way.. u go to god n confront him.. giler .. wat a strong opinion.. kakakaakkkakaka... cuber lu bayangkan.. i can remember this once flick yg gua tak igt title die aper.. (ok bukan gua tanak igt.. mmg gua tak igt) biler semua suck.. hero die masuk pastuh ring bell kat luar temple .. ckp cam gangsta ngan tuhan die.. pastuh alih alih.. things work out fine... shit.. that some deep shit.. but i guess thats the movie... dont get me wrong.. im not gonna go to a mosque .. pkl beduk n confront plak.. aper lu igt gua nih giler ker.. gua citer ajer.. takde kena mengena ngan aper yg gua nak buat..

shit.. gua tau gua kena byk patient.. dan sebolehnyer mmg gua tanak libatkan sgt kepercayaan gua tehadap aper yg tejadik dlm idup gua hari hari.. gua pun tatau apsal.. tapi gua try stick to wat real n wat not.. wat should u hold on as u r beliefs n wat that is fact... coz.. conciously if u still huv the power to do something or to influence sumthin.. u huv to take that action.. or not ur in risk of not getting the results u desired.. senang ajer.. senang dan simple.. unless menda tuh dah beyond control lu.. out of bound.. n thats where i am at.. probably my avid reader dah tau dah pasal kesah gua.. dah berapa bulan dah.. dah 3 bulan .. n like bassy mase draf.. i believed 75% almost there.. tapi offer bukan cam tunggu ayam betelur bai.. ayam kalo takde org nak pecahkan telur tuh utk buat banjo.. gerenti jadik anak ayam punyer.. tapi offer frm admission still uncertain.. u dont know this bastard.. the play u.. they've been playin fo 3 mths.. wats another 1-2 months for em.. damn it...

but as i become restless.. (everyday makin teruk sial) n bored wit the current office work.. not to mention my relationship.. (which will be a hardcover of 1500 pages.. kalo gua tulis)... gua tebaca sumthin from FORTUNE magazine that i would like to share.. (no.. its not about indian flick.. n dont ask me why I am reading FORTUNE...) These are a few lines from the article : Can Nike Still Do It Without Phil Knight?

When Bowerman died in 1999 at the age of 88, his stature at Nike only grew. In this decentralized company, where self-managing is the best way forward, Bowerman is a god, and Knight is the self-anointed priest channeling his words. Liz Dolan, former VP of global marketing, once approached Knight for some help on a complicated problem. Instead of giving suggestions, Knight offered up a Talmudic tale: Once during college he had asked Bowerman for some advice in improving his running times. Bowerman replied, "Triple your speed." "That’s the kind of advice you get from Phil," says Dolan, now a host of the Satellite Sisters syndicated radio show. "He is less likely to sit down and break it down for you. He believes you can figure it out.… He focuses more on talking to you one-on-one to get the best out of you rather than setting corporate strategy per se."

Last May, though, that all changed. Knight’s oldest son, Matthew, was scuba diving in El Salvador, visiting the country on a mission for the charity he worked for, when his equipment malfunctioned. The 34-year-old died in the waters of Lake Ilopango, leaving behind a wife and two sons. Knight and his wife, Penny, were devastated. In a note to his staff, Knight told them that instead of sending him condolences, they should make a point of spending more time with their own families. "I wasn’t a good enough manager, really, is what it comes down to," says Knight. "You have to manage your time [as a parent], and it’s a pretty tough balance. It’s a hard balance, and when the kid’s not there anymore, you can’t make up for it." Those working on the CEO search noticed an immediate change. "It made him realize that there is a clock running and a calendar running, and that life is unpredictable," says one person who asked to remain anonymous.

Not that he’s finished working. The baton may be passed, but Knight, as chairman, is still going to be there, strolling around, dropping in on people and projects when he feels like it, and most important, staying in their minds, reminding them that if they have problems, all they need to do is triple their speed.
