What would you do if you are no longer afraid....

A recent phone chat with Terran, my University friend cum neighbour revealed that he has quitted his full time job to pursue his own dreams. At a time when money and career meant a lot to most of us, he has chosen a path otherwise taken. He has taken up a full time course on multimedia and visual communication design in the hope of fulfilling his interest. I remembered Terran said something during the conversation that I will never forget:" I never want to be an engineer again ". So what really prompt him to make a bold career move, especially since he has just got married and needed a full time job to earn his bacon? To Terran, life means living to the fullest. He didn't want to earn his monthly bacon and pass to his wife, rather, he wants to know what would have happened if he has pursued his interests. Terran's story touches my heart immersely! Deep inside, I'm tired after working as an engineer for 5 years. Day in and out, we engineers have been slogging hard ...

Who stole my CHEESE???

This week, there was a lot of excitement going on among the employees at Seawater Corp. because it is the "Cheese" distribution time. It is the time when many people thought they should be duly rewarded for all the hard work that they have put in for the past year. I had a good talk with my manager, Mr D on this Marc: Will I get high increment this year? D: You know, there is only this piece of Cheese and there are 9 of you... Marc: Will I get promoted this year? D: Out of the 9 guys inside my team, I can only promote 1. Marc: Isn't that 10%? D : Statistically, you are right! Marc: But D, I couldn't wait that long! D: You know, I waited 10 years before I become a manager, Marc: Speechless..... I assessed my satisfaction of my current increment based on 3 criteria 1) Comparison with past year's increment 2) Comparison with S average increment 3) Comparison with National average increment.. I did a survey on some colleagues and found that most of the employees at ...

Studying for Six Sigma is not really as easy as what I thought it would be. Instead of spending 4 months to complete the course, it was shrunk to 3 months due to cost cutting measures. During these 3 months, we have to 1) study online courses prior to the classes 2) study all the modules taught in class and be tested at the end of each week's training 3) complete a project and used all the modules taught in class We are exposed to Hypothesis, Anova, sample size calculations..... blah blah, besides the normal statistics lessons like Binomial and Poisson taught during the early school days.... The toughest part was all these need to be done in additional to our current workload. Luckily, for me, Mr D has been rather supportive of this course and did not reprimand me, despite catching me doing the project during office hours. Anyway, I'm glad it is over, possibly due to the fact that I have stopped studying for many years or perhaps due to the fact that I have no interests in sta...
