Motivation...

Can't believe I spent the whole long weekend on books. Sat at the same spot too long, till I developed back ache and couldn't sleep the whole night. Took painkillers and cough mixture, got in 2 hours of rest, and then had to prepare for work again.

Went back to work on Monday, had discussions with the boss on some trying issue, performed 3 sets of presentations, and then went for a meeting with 2 training providers to get a problem resolved.

Sometimes I wonder, where I get all the energy and motivation from. At my age, I should be too old to even pick up a book. Much more read it. And as a buddy put it, everyone keeps telling me that I have to study, but given the same situation, they can't picture themselves doing it. I wonder if that's true, but I guess that's a way of saying that I am trying and they can see it.

Another buddy added that it's strange that I keep clearing things for others, helping people fix their mistakes and doing what other people think is not worth doing. At the end of the day, there wont be any thanks or appreciation for the things I do. And as yet another puts it, others only do things that make them shine, I do all the 吃力不讨好 stuff that no one else wants to do. Yet, I guess, that's why I end up with a reputation, for people to think of me first and look for me whenever they have a problem, but not remember that I exist in good times or when they are happy.

Haha. I should really spend more time reading and less time blogging about stuff like this. No time liao, no time liao!! Tomorrow still got war to fight. Sigh.

are you getting better now? Pei Pa Koa (www.geocities.jp/ninjiom_hong_kong/index_e.htm ) is one of the few Chinese natural cough remedies that have been scientifically studied. it's something like herb plus honey, and it's sweet, thick and black in color. If you have a cough, look for it! It used to be one of my favourite natural cough remedies.

if your cough persists, seek professional help such as traditional Chinese medicine physicians - I have had very good experiences with them.
