I just came from a meeting yesterday and while discussing with them multitude of issues that's causing me the depression, one cheerfully said "Begin with an end in mind", quoting the words of Covey in his Book the "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". Who would not know this book - I myself heard about about it a thousand times already - although up to now, I still haven't read it (You might want to lend me one, haha...)
Relating covey's 2nd habit to this world of mine, I told myself, "yeah, I should work with the end in mind". Yup, you read it right, work with the end in mind. For those who are and who'd been into "hell" because of work(an overstatement maybe), it would seem more fitting and inspiring to work with the thought of "Working with the end in mind". I for one, is awaiting for that day when I can finally escape from the agony I had been feeling for several months. The thought of the last days just gives me a feeling of relief, inspiration and all. To end means having to start anew, the end means new environment and being up for new challenges. Now, I'm feeling a little better because some of the impossible things were resolved during the meeting. And of course, I'll be out soon......
One month to go for that end to come...:-)

with your question who wouldn't know about that book? well, i don't.
all i can say is that if you're no longer happy with what you're doing then simply quit doing it. life is short. stop doing the things that stops your from lovin' and livin' life. start anew.... and if it still wouldn't work then start another... ;)
Coz the book seems to be all over the bookstores, and some folks that I know would always mention it, so I assumed that almost everyone knows about it.
Thanks for the inspiring note. I think the quote is also relevant to your situation now. hehe...
uyyy.. the end in mind.... congrats chi. but use that concept to be productive on those days leading to "the end". believe me, it is productive and you'll end up with a feeling of fulfillment and (*wink*) relief.
Hello I am a highly effective person. Do I need that book to be more effective? If so then I would become the most super ultra effective person. And will that do good for me?
sorry for a late reaction on this post.. i just want to say that it's easier to say "that if you're no longer happy with what ur doing then simply quit doing it". It's so easy to say that but that is a hard thing to do. Especially if it concerns your career/work. Maybe if you're rich you can do that. But if you dont have a fallback, you always have to think twice.
