Lemme start off with my least risky encounter today.
I went to the British Council today (personal business people b-) ). I met with a young gentleman who was a security guard. We got talking (official business) and he told me how he was always excited to see marketers at work and stuff, while I was half not-interested - as I think marketing can be a drag 8-| . He enlightened me that he used to work as a marketer...#GetThis#...for Standard Chartered bank :-o . Now he's a security guard, just trying to make ends meet. He went on talking about how it's hard tryna talk to any girl he likes 'cause they won't take him seriously (ermm... a bit off topic he went). blah blah blah...
Anyway, I called that risky because it's a deep realization for a lot of us. We may be struggling (and I'm not saying you should settle for just anything), however, we should also realize that what we need to do is work every position we are in to our fullest potential.
[Also, I think he tried to hit on me just before I left :-/ ...Risky! yet fortunate]
So, I'm heading back to work after this encounter and trying to put down a quick note for my report when I get stopped by...ermm...not LASTMA or LAWMA or a Traffic Warden. Some dude in a Fushia-like uniform-top. He requests why my seat belt is not on x_x [I totally forgot to do that and didn't even notice him on time]. On a normal day, he would've made me pull over and sieved my vehicle and/or demanded a fine (which would go into his pocket, of course). But fortunately for me, he let me go...thank God 'cause I was definitely in the wrong here and wouldn't have known how to get out of it.
[Also, this guy I remember very well. He demanded I pay a fine sometime in the past, when my friends (Salo baby and Sole-sole) and I made a U-turn on that street. Apparently, that wasn't allowed and there were no signs but becuase he knows it's not allowed, he believed we were wrong ...RISKY! yet fortunate]
Now time for dessert!
Sitting at the traffic light, waiting for the green signal. The traffic signal finally changes to green. I look both ways to make sure no car is still approaching. Every incoming car seemed to have stopped right before the white line on the ground. Still proceeding with caution, then one bus zooms right across in front of me :-o...
I'm thanking God I wasn't in a hurry to go 'cause it wudda been a straight-up major causality. In shock and still proceeding with caution, another smaller car zooms right in front as well. I just looked straight at the SIX (6) traffic controllers in front of me, as some were still chatty, while the others looked shocked as well.
[RISKY!!! bless-you-Lord fortunate]
I'm still a believer of when-it's-your-time-it's-your-time and it obviously wasn't and isn't my time o:-) .
I have so much impact to make in my society. No one will bring me down.
NO ONE!!!
