    watch what you say 

    in the coming weeks, I’ll be posting about key insights uncovered since I went corporate earlier this year. feel free to comment, share your views, disagree.

    #1. anything you write can and will be used against you.
    literally. be it an email, handout or instant message, colleagues/clients and other persons  you communicate with will rightfully use it to hold you to your word. whitin days of communicating electronically, you will learn how to use nuance and gradation. On the downside, triple-checking every email you send is time-consuming. On the upside, you’ll have to watch what you say, ponder on what you can actually promise and deliver.

    looking back on late 2007 and 2008, here’s what I remember…

    I’ve spent four months of bliss, four months of adventure, three months at home, five months in business. 

    Someone taught me how to be irrational again, how to embrace my oddness. Someone else called my bluff, another introduced me to art and design.

    I’ve seen poverty, a slap in the face. I wanted to get rid of everything I owned. It all felt fake and useless. I’m left with fewer objects, and a new approach to ownership.

    I’ve cut the crap in many ways. still there is a lot of crap cutting to do.

    I dragged my soul along muddy tracks, sunny beaches, cobbled streets, losing bits of shallowness at every turn.

    I realized I had no precise idea of what I wanted from life. Actually, I don’t want to know yet. Let’s just take a walk down the backstreets, see what’s in store for me. Contribute in as many ways as possible, that’s what I’m going for.

    Malaysia

    what a great year!

    I spent a lot a time alone. I used ‘I’ too many times.

    I went corporate and found out people run the world.

    I neglected my health, fell in and out of love with food.

    I reconnected with my family, my people, my country.

    I turned 21 and wonder if my life has started yet. I’m behind the curtain and I’m afraid to step on stage and be all I can be.

    I’m grateful for this year. The best I ever had. I’m grateful for the people who made it possible. Some of them have been here for years, some others I just met. all of whom rock my world in more ways than they can imagine.

    pierre
