A small reflection after a phone call with a special friend


Just had a phone call session with my friend Randall after so long and it is really good to hear that you are doing well in your business and to hear your more mature thinkings now. You have really grown up quite a bit since the last time I talked to you and thank you for sharing me about what it is like to be in your kind of corporate world. 

I am thankful that it is your turn to teach and attempt to help me to get some social connections that is essential for any businessman, but I think you also kind of reminded me of what I really want in life. Maybe I am not as ambitious as you are, or it is just me being a woman. My aim in life is still to be able to sit in a tranquil place, by the sea, just like the image, with people who are meant to be in my life without much worries. 

I don't aim for my business to go global, or for it to be well-known. All I want in my business is for it to be a place where I can fall and grow up in with no worries. Some thing that makes my life more meaningful and solid. Unlike corporate business, it makes my life richer, but I know it is never for the soul. Especially when we start to grow, and people become more materialistic, and money becomes a greater interest than any relationship, the time invested in making people happy and befriending them will just vanish once there is a conflict in interest. And maybe, the thought of it just make me feels empty. 

So, I am very thankful for your time to share and attempts to bridge some stuff for me. But I guess I will be happier to be the one small person at the corner watching you succeed and clap for you than to be on the same stage as you and receiving claps from other people. I am sure you will be very successful in your world and I am proud to have a friend like you. I will definitely be the one friend you can fall back on if the time ever come. But the condition is, if one day I decide to go into the corporate world, you better be there waiting and being available for me too.  xD
