Entry: realization... Monday, October 04, 2004



it never occured to me that people would actually read my blog. who knew the thoughts of an emerging young professional (not to mention a young man) would be so interesting. Over the last few months i've given regular updates from my trip in china as well as from my personal life. the reason i'm writing this is because i've just realized how 'personal' i've become on my blogs. i think blogs should summarize life and also provide a few 'knee deep' insights but nothing more. I hope i don't get carried away with my words. nevertheless i can't hold my thoughts in:

I'm concerned (and i know i shouldnt be) about misinterpretation of information. This blog's purpose was to get a direct perspective from my life. There are many people in my life, many have not seen certain aspects of it and might be shocking to some. It's weird...somehow my parent's friends know about this blog which makes me think 'what can i say on this blog?'. Who is the blog for? What is appropriate?

You know, sometimes i just stand still and wonder what is going on in my life. you know thoughts that i know everyone gets like 'am i happy with where i'm going? do l like who ive become? i should do this...i should do that". What kind of job do i want? Why do i want this job? Does it bring me happiness? "It's not the job that brings you happiness, it's the money from the job that's supposed to make you happy". I'm trying to block those Capitalist motives out of my head. The sole pursue of wealth as a means to happiness is not the way to go!

as u can tell...there are many things going on in my mind...way too many. sure on the outside it might seem calm, but on the inside it's an endless bee hive..that doesnt turn off! ..?

Well about capitalism, prehaps the notion of social entreprise would be something you want to check out. My friend has started a foundation called the Canadian Social Entrepreneurship Foundation - http://www.csef.ca so check it out. I am trying to help them out as much as I can.

Your blog should reflect who you are, but yes... there is always a line to draw about how much you should write about.. (it's lke censoring yourself!) but at the same time, it should be of things that you WANT people to know about... kind of different when you have different, various types of people who visit your blog -- but isn't it like writing something, where you no longer have ownership of the words themselves -- whatever the reader makes of them is what they are.. Just an interesting thought for you.
