Is it Worth it?

after reading boss GC's latest blog on BC's leadership, my 1st tot is either you agree (like it) or disagree (hate it). Since we are using this platform as the 'speaker's corner', I will be direct in my opinions...

Why agree?
BC is definitely the most visionary leader whom I came across in my entire career lifespan so far.
He is inspirational and his leadership skills is unquestionable. I'm always motivated after his speeches and hunger for more. I can also see most of his 'generals' and 'lieutanents' have been influenced and changed by his style which is good news for the company.
However, some of the veins and arteries in the 'giant' are long and get cloaked because of the accumulated bad cholestrol after more than 100 years... Hence, oxygenated blood cannot get thru to the cells in the legs to walk at the speed that the brain says so. The 'giant' somehow need to eat more garlic pills to clear the bad cholestrol so that it stays healthy and strong...
Not too sure if double-boiled soup helps here as my chinese herbal knowledge is super 'lan'.

Why disagree?
While the giant walks faster, the heart needs to work harder to replenish fresh blood to all the cells. If the giant is not fit and well-conditioned to run the marathon, then the heart will get cramped and stop working... This requires a well thought thru training program to start conditioning your body and heart for the run.

at this point in time, i dun realli noe what am I writing...sounds like nonsense...so pls ignore this blog...

just share with all my Sat event: Conquering the Southern ridges...

Our group of buddies decided to have some clean fun and healthy lifestyle last weekend and decided to walk the 9km route within 2 hrs! There were no proper trainings done before hand and warm ups. We thought that our muscles and heart were strong enough after all the training done in army (we forgotten that those muscles have turned to fats after leaving the army.)

So, we happily started when the sun has about to retire. at the 1km mark, we were all sweating like pigs and finished all the water...(no proper planning). Underwears were drenched and we all stink like rubbish dumps... at the 2km mark, we gave up and made a u turn back... (see bay seah sway!)

What a day! We tell ourselves that we will conquer this 9km somehow, sometime again...
The day ended at gillman village with lots of food and alcohol...no wonder we cannot make it!
