Reading

I've been reading couple books... well, sorta half and half. Haha The first book I read is "A note from a friend" by Anthony Robbins. I only read about first 2 chapter. Reason why I stopped is because there are 2 fill-in-the-blank of what do I want. And I left it blank because I don't know what I want. Haha, that's why I'm still in hang. However, there something strike me. There's one old man who recieving 120 dollars from SSI (that's was in the past), he wasn't happy about that salary. Instead of complain to the government, he had an idea. So, he use oldsmoible car and travel around to every resturants of his best idea of recipe. Yes, it's reccipe. Every resturants he goes to always said no. He still have not gave up and continue to use 120 for his gas and clothes. He decided to try something new so he wear red pinstripe outfit and a hat and go off to every resturant. There are many people thinks he's a werid-o and some did asked him what's with the outfit. He kept hearing no's about 100,000 times for 2 years of everyday until one said yes. Can you guess who? It's well-known fast resturant. It's Kentucky Fried Chicken. That's the old man in the picture. So, question how many no's did you recieve until you find a job? If it is 10 or 20... well, keep going until you hear "yes" even it means that you will hear 100,000 "no" So don't stop there.

Here's another one interesting story, the man who invented special kind of ring that goes for the car. (don't ask because I really have no idea what's that is) The car company said no. He didn't give up. He kept at it and find a way around to create a perfect ring. He went back to the car company and said no. He came back and continue until he finally get it right and sold idea to the car company. He earned money profits just for that speaical ring. Later, he created himself a company. During WW2 there is not enough material that he needs for his manaufacture. Instead of complian about it, the Japan bombed, the man said "Quick, come out, go and see where it going, we need those raw material for our factory." They go and gather them up. Haha. He doesn't have to pay for it and he gets it for free. Haha. So, it's interesting how a person who wouldn't give up and just keep on at it and going and going until one said yes.

So, don't give up.. huh? Well, in meantime, I will keep on searching for a while.

Here's another book I read, "10 Things I wish I'd Known-Before I went out into the Real World." by Maria Shiriver. Just click and read the details, it's gave a good summary. I think that book is fabulous! Espeically for those who graudated from college and most of all about marriage and children struggle. She gave fantastic insight. Yes, that's the woman who married to famous Arnold Schwarzenegger.

One thing that strike me interesting is that, she born and raise rich and poticial(sp) family. She has a goal to be on TV news. She wouldn't give up even though they have attitude toward her because they think that she's a rich girl who would give up and cry. She didn't! She tough it out and stay where she wants for her career. She did it. Also, what's another thing that strike me is that her boss is really big mouth. When she got married and have children, her boss did told her to quit because her husband has money. She refuse! Just because she's a woman, she still want to continue to have a career no matter what. She wants to continue to earn respect and digity(sp?). I thought that was very interesting point of view. I would highly recommend for those who got out of college and got married and have a kid or two. It is really interesting book to read.

There's another book that I just bought it before I got sick. I only read one chapter. I hope it is worth it. I forgotten the title. It's about something making final decision about what ideal job you want overnight. Of course, I wouldn't be doing overnight thing. It would be only my 2 days off to read that book and take time to absorb it. I did read one chapter that did stike me is that, there are 2 same job and same format but liked one job better than the other. It's about environment. Also, there's a 2 different things about job ideal and job titles. I thought that was interesting... There is a lot more explaining in the first chapter. Like I said ealier, I hope it is worth it. When I feel better, I will get around to read it.

Well, I do feel a little bit better but I'm still weak and I'm hoping to completely heal by tomorrow, if not, then I may called and not show up work for Wed and Thursday. My days off are Mondy and Tuesday. I got sick on Saturday morning, it got worst Saturday night. That's why I couldn't make it on Sunday work. If I can't make it for Wed and Thursday, I may called tomorrow(Tuesday) to have someone to fillfull my place for 2 days. I do know that I'm working on Friday and Saturday. However, I do not know what's my working schudale next week since I haven't checked at work. I was going to do this week... haha. I can call and ask for what's my schuduale if I needed to... but I think i would be able to show up my work on Friday to find out what's my schudale would be for next week.

Now, why would I hate Monday? Since today is really my day off. Haha. Well, some Mondays I will have my off days and some are not. I just want to post this pix because I think it is cute. :-D
