Life Macroeconomics
Since I'm now writing for Golf Digest Singapore, the majority of my mental resources for golf-related subjects have gone into the magazine or the golfdigestsingapore.com website. Do support by buying a copy at the newstands or at least, visit the website ;) As such, I've not been contributing much to this blog.
And for those silly enough to follow my little blog, nope, I won't be shutting it down, but rather, shift it into a different direction. I've decided to use this blog as a platform to let out sporadic outbursts of nonsense, or whenever I feel like writing about stuff other than golf. Hope that will keep my writing sharp, personal and not too "manufactured".
Certain events that happened in my life prompted me to see life from a further perspective. In my prior post, I wrote about publishing a person's title wrongly. Understandably, she got upset and in a way, gave me a piece of her mind. I felt bad about it. That following week, I received an SMS from the mother of a junior golfer whom I've featured. She thanked me for the coverage as it brought plenty of laughter and joy into the family. That really warmed my heart.
Recently, I've fallen out with a friend. I had good intentions and dished out advice straight from the heart. Obviously, the good intentions were perceived wrongly. That along with other episodes culminated to the present situation where we've shut all communication channels to each other. On the flip side, I've met some really interesting folks and solidified old friendships. They brought me new perspectives and hopefully by listening to their experiences, makes me a better person.
So, the moral of the story is, things always even out at the end. If you accept all the happy events, surely you must also accept the bad. Even golfs professionals don't score birdies at every hole and in the same vein, your streak of double pars will come to an end, somehow. I've learnt to accept what is going for me, be it good or bad. So cheers to looking forward to the future, and not mulling over the past.
OK, back to my job. *hunches over the keyboard *
