Delusion of Passion Career Part 3

In the 80s, Chinese movies present the style of mentorship that we contemporarily adapt to – a young man seeking revenge stays under the tutelage of an older man; he watches and learns from such man.

I was recently invited to a bank retreat to share on Project Management. The Credit Analysis department sponsoring the retreat wanted me to demystify Project Management in 2-hours so their staffs could adequately and effectively communicate with their vendors. Since the financial aspect went well during negotiations, I did not immediately envision the task ahead […]

What is Chromebook?

I keep telling myself that nothing will impress me anymore in personal computing after the unibody experience of the Macbook Pro but was I so wrong? Google offers a wholesome experience at a very affordable minimum price of 199 USD. This time Google has over impressed me at least with the cost of such brilliant […]

Delusion of Passion Career Part 2

Delusion of Passion Career Part 1

The adage “do what you are passionate about and the money will follow” may sound delusional to those who put their passion in a box.
