i just learnt that the ex-ceo of yahoo, jerry yang never uses cap sized letters in his memos. it may be the only thing we share common love for. only that he gets to live with his love and i don't. atleast for now. i hope.
am no psycologist but the way people write does indeed reveal a few distinct snippets of their personality. especially in work environments.
i see a lot of this in the emails from offices based in india. "please find attached, please let me know, please **** my brains off, etc"
you don't have to think too far to realize the state of affairs in thirld world corporate. bosses are usually 100 feet longer than the rest.
brings me back to the age old puzzle i often get into a tussle with. what is more important for an individual in his life? get there first or get there in strength?
oftentimes, people think acting sophisticated in life is a sign of strength. well, it is like a donkey trying to paint its body to finally be a tiger. it may be its only theoritically possible route to success but the key is to know that it won't work either. sophistication is an outcome of strength and not the other way round. a true test of strength, for example, is when you miss the flight because of an attendant's error. if you fail to see humor in pityful situations, you ain't that sophisticated.
yeah, too much preaching! but, i thought i should write it down so that i don't forget it myself. oh yes, it has happened before.
