You’ll say that riding a bike is easy. Yes it is. But knowing the proper techniques makes it easier. - mr nice ash

I’ve been riding bikes since 14, maybe younger. But what do I know back then? I know how to start the bike. I know how to make the bike move. I know how to balance. And I know how to stop. But what I do not know are the proper ways to do these things.

So I signed up to the Basic Riding Course, sponsored by Accenture Moto Club. Jake Swann, President/Chief Instructor of Motorcycle Riders Course, leaded all 3 sessions. All of the sessions were full of fun. excitement and learnings.

Can you tell how busy I am nowadays?

I grew up by the sea. My hobby is catching fish via crossbow. (improvised, so it’s not crossbow anymore.). Among my friends, I was the only one who can hold breath underwater in longer than a minute.

But because I stopped living by the sea when I was in college, I lost that record. I tried holding my breath underwater and I hardly reached 15 secs.

Last weekend, we had a family outing in Calamba Laguna, known as the Province of Private Pools. I gave that name for it has so many private pools along the service roads. I took 3 bottles of beer with more than 1 hour intervals after each one, and soaked myself in the pool from 10:00PM to 4AM. I did breath holding underwater and counted, 1001, 1002 and on… I was able to hold my breath for more than 30 secs. And I improved every time I tried.

Just this afternoon, I get a stopwatch and measure how long I can hold my breath. 40.7 secs.

I have watched this MTV many times already and still watching it. The first time was wayback 2003 and the most recent one was last Sunday.

It portrays a love story of a photographer and a girl who he captured in one of his shots by accident. They had happy moments until the girl accidentally poured her eyes with the liquid that the guys uses for developing his photos. I don’t know what it’s called. And the girl turned blinded but the guy willingly donated his eyes so the girl can see the world again.

I was making the presentation for a meeting and I need to provide an inspirational / professional / managerial quote but I don’t know where to get one. I looked from quote sites but I can’t choose a more appropriate quote. Huh, I need to create one on my own.

Management makes your work harder to do.
And makes your goals easier to achieve.

– Mr. Nice Ash

It’s very self-explanatory, eh? But I think I won’t be able to explain it very well. I came up with this quote, based from my experience. Based from what I observed. Tell you what, I’m sort of a guy who doesn’t like managerial stuffs very much. Or I am not ready yet to learn about it. Like one of my friend said, I’m a kind of guy who just go anywhere the waves push me. I know I am. It’s not that I don’t know how to swim against the waves. It’s because I don’t want to swim against them.

Let me open this topic here. Would you prefer to fast-phase your career, with a lot of struggles to achieve it? Or take it easily but will also take years for your career to grow? Right now, I prefer the second one but I think I need to do the first. Now that my family is growing, I need to make my career grow as well. I think I will have to force myself to do it but I tell you what, I think I can’t do it right here, right now. I think I need to move somewhere else, where I can have a new start. I would think it’s easier to start anew than to change the way you are right now. I’m not sure if you’re getting my idea correctly or not. I will appreciate advice.
