Today signals the last day for me in India this time around. Tonite I hop on a evening Singapore Airlines flight and jet back to Singapore’s wondrous Changi airport. From there back to the Royal Plaza Hotel for a few nights and meetings in Singapore. Then I’m on my own time at my own schedule after this Friday. I’ll be in Japan for a few days of R&R.
For now, I am sitting in my room at the Raintree, watching CNN International and relaxing. I deferred going into the office this morning and instead will show up after lunch today.
Changes and Re-arranges
A friend dropped me an email letting me know after 15 years in technology he was moving completely away and going into something else. He was worried about the decision and the outcome. It was an exciting career change but risky for him. He was going from a job at a leading IT consultancy making 100k++ a year to something making 50k. What was the reason and why would someone do such a drastic thing I can hear the folks that read this ask. Its basic. People need change in their lives. Change that rips apart the regular old fabric and exposes a thing which sometimes ends up missing. That thing is “challenge”. We all need it and its a medicine, a drug, and it makes us re-invent. But the more basic thing is change. We are creatures of change. We either adapt and adopt to change or we are destroyed bits of detritus left on a path that withered away to nothing.
I’ll just say we all need to change and leave it at that.
