Don't bother thinking too much about whether or not you're living the life that you should be living, whether you're doing "the best you can" or whether you're "living the best life possible" -- there is no such thing. But if only it were that easy to stop thinking: what if there is?
Do you really want that promotion?
Have you ever asked yourself if you really wanted to move up the career ladder? I had always thought I certainly did; that is, until I chanced upon some interesting commentary on moving up the corporate ladder in the book Everyone's Business on Getting Ahead by Gorden Wells You work will have become your Life....

Bing Donn Lee’s Star
You ask yourself if having a domain name, specifically edonn.com, actually creates more stress than necessary. Didn’t you just go to bing.com to do a search on "donn lee" realise that it didn’t contain any results linking to your webpage?

Knowing the Full Story
Our meeting was at 2.30pm. Literally seconds before I was going to go over she called, and told me that she had to postpone. "I have one more quote to do," she told me in a harried voice, "give me thirty minutes." This meeting had gone off to a bad start, I thought. This was... Continue Reading →

Do you know what day it is? It's LiShya's birthday! Happy Birthday ger ger! And do you know what other day it is? It's our monthlysary! Yay!
On Financial Independence
I was reminded of the concept of retiring young but not necessarily rich while reading the book Your Money or Your Life (by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez, one of the best books on personal finance I have read so far), and thought some of you who are into personal finance may find it interesting....

Living the Good Life
I had always had this notion that the concept of the "best life possible" -- of living the "good life" -- was real. I never quite qualified it with reasoning or investigation, and just took it as it was. Then one day, hit by inspiration, I decided to do some research on what the living... Continue Reading →
