Free Publicity

While there's a great deal to learn from warriors past, one does run the risk of hearing, ad infinitum, about the good ol' days, when the "real" [insert sport here] players had to practice in sub-zero temperatures (even in summer!), played through amputations and death, had off-season jobs in Malaysian garment factories, and were paid only in chawin' tobacco.

There you go folks, another 'facts' about the country. Hmmm will that made the Yankees rushed to Google 'Malaysia Garment Factory' better than Malaysian Tourism Board could? Comparatively Competitive with China, Taiwan, India and Thailand in the world garment industry.

Gratifying Compliment

Received a surprising call from a former acquaintance.
Avoiding the usual 'guess who am I' line, she went ahead and re-introduced herself, which I was rather glad she did because I would have guessed one girlfriends after another and still wouldn't have nailed the right one.
Straight to the point, she was calling from a company she had just recently joined, which I had attended an interview quite sometime ago. She told me that she was tasked a mission by the owner to try to persuade me to join the company to head the design department. I was honored but at the same time had to politely decline.
The call had built up my own valuation of self worth a notch or two.
