Inputting knowledge into my brain

Firstly to divert from my blog topic, i am 2 post away from my 500 post milestone!

Just did an MRI scan. To those who don't know, i have been suffering from knee pain since june. Been to the specialist a few times but can't get the problem solved. Apparently it is not the wearing off of my knee, which can be easily treated with glucosamine, as according to the specialist. Hope this scan can reveal what is wrong.

Been reading Malcaom Gladwell's new book, What the dog saw. Pretty different from his previous 3 books. As i read, i realised that one thing for sure i know i love to do is to input knowledge into my brain. The more i know, the more "powerful" i feel. It is a different feeling from knowing alot of stuff. I particularly love knowing something which people normally won't know, be it useful or not. Like for example, do cockroach die lying normally or flat on it back most of the time? how come you some people can make millions in one day but others struggle to meet ends? how come guys are attracted to certain attributes of the opposite sex?



Work has been pretty ok for me. Sometimes i feel it is getting boring. Cos there is not much for me to do and there is alot for me to learn. So much to learn that i can't do anything. The irony is that what i learn doesn't really interest me that much. Maybe it is the lowest level, maybe it is too dry. But i am really more interested and concern with global outlook and how to position the company to meet the challenges 10 years ahead. Perhaps my boss is right, i got to keep this in mind as i go through whatever i am learning now.


As i falter between whether to take CFA, i am wondering what does the banking industry holds for me. If it is a higher level of pitching, like what my friend nic saya, then maybe it won't be my cup of tea for long.

I prefer to think hard, think long and solve tough problem.

I hope to set trends, break mindset and bring insight.

I want to emerge, kick dust and earn big buck.

Get the picture?



Someone teach me how!
