“It's the team that matters. Where would The Beatles be without Ringo. If John got Yoko to play drums the history of music would be completely different.”
“What does a squirrel do in the summer? It buries nuts. Why? Cos then in winter time he's got something to eat and he won't die. So, collecting nuts in the summer is worthwhile work. Every task you do at work think, would a squirrel do that? Think squirrels. Think nuts.”
“A successful team is paramount, our office team mirrors the success of Arsenal football team, but with less foreigners.”
“When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"”
“Show me a good loser and I'll show you a LOSER!”
“If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.”
“You don't have to be mad to work here, in fact we ask you to complete a medical questionnaire to ensure that you are not.”
“If you treat the people around you with love and respect, they will never guess that you're trying to get them sacked.”
“If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.”
“You have to be 100% behind someone, before you can stab them in the back.”
“If work was so good, the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.”
“Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do.”
“If your boss is getting you down, look at him through the prongs of a fork and imagine him in jail.”
“There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either. And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure.”
“There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough.”
“Process and Procedure are the last hiding place of people without the wit and wisdom to do their job properly.”
“Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue”
“Know your limitations and be content with them. Too much ambition results in promotion to a job you can't do.”
“Make good use of your cylindrical filing unit, the one you mainly keep under your desk.”
“Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.”
“Never do today that which will become someone elses responsibility tomorrow.”
“Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never win and never quit are idiots.”
“If you're gonna be late, then be late and not just 2 minutes - make it an hour and enjoy your breakfast.”
“The office is like an army, and I'm the field general. You're my footsoldiers and customer quality is the WAR !!!”
“Set out to leave the first vapour trail in the blue-sky scenario.”
“Statistics are like a lamp-post to a drunken man - more for leaning on than illumination.”
“A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone elses?”
“Is your work done? Are all pigs fed, watered and ready to fly?....”
“You don't have to be mad to work here, but you do have to be on time, well presented, a team player, customer service focused and sober!!”
“I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just some bastard with a torch, bringing me more work.”
“Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of CVs in the bin without reading them.”
“Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy. Turn the knob of mediocrity slowly and open the gates of despondency - welcome to a day in the average office.”
David Brent

[IF]
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
--Rudyard Kipling

Updated my links
Feeling oddly not as stressed as I should be. Knowing that the mid-term tests are coming and the mid term rest is coming to an end, I still feel oddly calm.
Kinda funny.

Chelsea lost....
The world says OMG! I say so? Chelsea lost that match as soon as Mourinho left earlier in the week. A new coach thrown into the deep end without the support of his players and supporters will never win. Avram Grant is a nobody compared to Mourinho and he shown it yesterday.
I would say the referee helped Man U a bit with the sending off of Obi Mikel and the dubious penalty. Man U and Chelsea tore lumps off each other and that is healthy football.
The disappointing thing is that Man U fans are celebrating... They should be happy but to be honest as a Chelsea fan. That was a match Man U HAD to win. It wasnt a match they could afford not to win. Everything was on their side. Player morale, management, injuries, all favoured Man U. Put it this way, if Chelsea drew 0-0 with Man U, I would be painting the town red (or blue in Chelsea's case).
Noob Coach, injured stars, players demoralised. What else can Man U ask for?
Man U fans.... Be happy you won a match you had to win. For the rest of the league: Chelsea will bounce back and kick all your asses. We win before we will win the EPL again. Even if it means sacking Grant to get there.

You are The Chariot
Triumph, Victory, Overcoming Obstacles.
The chariot is one of the most complex cards to define. On its most basic level, it implies war, a struggle, and an eventual, hard-won victory. Either over enemies, obstacles, nature, the beasts inside you, or to just get what you want. But there is a great deal more to it. The charioteer wears emblems of the sun, yet the sign behind this card is the moon. The chariot is all about motion, and yet it is often shown as stationary. It is a union of opposites, like the black and white steeds. They pull in different directions, but must be (and can be!) made to go together in one direction. Control is required over opposing emotions, wants, needs, people, circumstances; bring them together and give them a single direction, your direction. Confidence is also needed and, most especially, motivation. The card can, in fact, indicate new motivation or inspiration, which gets a stagnant situation moving again.
What Tarot Card are You?

Arugono's Monthly Update
Hi everyone (or whoever actually reads my drivel...)!
Been busy with competitions, studies, events planning and social activities....
You could say after 4 weeks of school and the competition season, I am drained in many aspects. I feel happy that my friends are doing well, I am glad I have people around me to help me and be there for me. Yet, I feel quite weird.... Like something is going wrong but so slight that it will be too late to see the signs....
Kinda worried for my life, even though my life is still okay.
Back to my life and out of my blog.
