Time flies, too fast too furious. In the blink of an eye, 11 months have gone by in the year 2017 and today is 1st<\/sup> December 2017. As I start counting down to the end of 2017 and I will be very happy to bring a closure to year 2017. For those who have been following my updates via my article posts here, thank you for following, reading and supporting me along this journey.<\/p>\n This journey that I embarked on, was much much more tough and difficult than I prepared myself for. Behind all the scenes, I hide my pain, sorrow, stress and pressure from some friends, some people. Having to deal and handle people who passed on (6 people in a 1 year time frame from 2016 to 2017 if you had been following and reading my stories here), a very emotionally and mentally draining life experience and journey.<\/p>\n Taking the first step to reflect year 2017, wrapping up year 2017 and planning ahead for year 2018. Changes will take place, new strategies and directions. While it might not be too private and confidential, it will not be too openly shared, might not even be shared at all.<\/p>\n One of the areas that I am working on is my computer workstations setup for year 2018<\/p>\n Business development directions and strategies, it\u2019s still in the thought and planning process (some preliminary, some advanced, some still thinking further ahead). I am most likely not (and unlikely) going to share much into them. Not so much of competitors or copying, it\u2019s more of keeping the \u201cbig loud noises\u201d around me out of my ears, I need anti-noise cancellation in-ear monitors.<\/p>\n Next year 2018, I am going to upgrade myself, gain more new skills and knowledge, looking into these few areas:<\/p>\n There are many people out there whose full time job is to judge and criticise other people, telling other people what to do, how to do, when they themselves are not in the other person\u2019s shoes and situation, as well as, thinking that they have\/are successful and more knowledgable than others when they are not and they have not.<\/p>\n Why can\u2019t we spend the time to upgrade and improve on ourselves, knowledge, skills and experience, instead of spendng time to judge and criticise people?<\/p>\n Imagine a society with citizens constantly and willingly upgrading their skills and knowledge. We worry less about disruption and displacement. Together, we can make a difference to the future ahead in many different ways possible.<\/p>\n Alright, it\u2019s time to wrap up, finish my backlogged technology related articles, get my photographs uploaded into my Flickr<\/a>, 500px<\/a> and Tan Geng Hui Photography portfolio<\/a> websites.<\/p>\n In our current world and society norms today, if you are still reading up till this last paragraph, thank you for taking the time to read my article that I wrote. Considering our attention time span is probably a minute or less, it really takes something to read an article online (or a hard copy book) today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Time flies, too fast too furious.
