I can only say "I'm sorry"

Just seen this comic on 9gag recently.

This brought back so much memories, and the sorrow which came along with it.

I remember the time we had together back in school.

I remember she used to travel weekly to come over to my place, when I hated going over to hers.

Now I realize that it must have been so tiring and painful for her, yet she chose to come over anyway.

I knew she looked forward to our phone call every night, but I found it tedious as it was taking too much of my time.

I remember the cooking that we use to do together - making food that each other love.

I used to dread those "stupid new recipes", yet I failed to realize her love for me.

She had me always on her mind, yet I was pursuing other things in life.

She tried so hard to get close and comfort me during that period of my life.

But the fact of the matter is, she doesn't understand that no matter how hard she tried, she cannot get to me.

Love is not about effort, it's about compatibility.

She tried, and tried so hard - she deserve to be happy.

I've moved on twice now, I really hope she is doing well.

I really hope she finds someone who appreciates her love.

My first love, if you're still reading my blog, this I have to say to you again: I'm sorry.

Always remember why you started

Things have been crazily hectic since I started on this new role. Once in a while, I'd start to wonder whether this has been a good move.

The challenges on the job has been tremendous, the bosses are demanding and unappreciative, the rewards are yet to be seen, the future is uncertain. These are definitely discouraging and really made me question myself.

But always remember why you started.

You took this up to build a name for yourself. To lead and groom a team which recognizes your care. To be a face that everyone will come to know. This has not and will not change. Your bosses may not understand your effort; they care solely about the number - this is sales after all. But you are on a separate mission; the focus is not the petty politics on these small start-ups - the focus is to build yourself up.
