STUCKED

Open your senses and be amazed of the splending things around...

Have you ever been stopped by unknown reasons in your life? Where you were wanting do something but your mind is completely occupied? If yes, it could be an opportunity to ponder for the time, look around, observe, and appreciate.

When stucked in a slow moving traffic, I keenly observe the driver and passengers. Isn't it surprising that professionals do whine at work though they are most blessed with much cozy workplace while this simple man driving a jeepney eats dust and smells the sun daily? As minutes passed, I am bombarded with so many questions; how much does a driver normally earns in a day? do they own the jeepney? how much can they bring home to their family? how many kids? Turning my gaze from the driver to the passengers, I also press the more intriguing questions; where do they work, what are they in their society, any questions that pop in my mind...

When roaming the mall, and seeing blessed shoppers, I often asked, are they born rich? How big is their house? how much do they earn? and then, on the other end will be the usual window shoppers only, for most often cases, families just loving to be in the mall because it is well air-conditioned. Different reasons for different people.

These are just among the many situations where your curiosity may reach its peak. Should we learn how to observe people, environment, attitudes, places, events, we will come to a point of appreciation that life is majestic, complicated as it is but wonderful.

Right now, I am stucked waiting my outlook to resume working, and I look on my co-shell employees, what do they do in their workstations? are they happy? what keeps them motivated?
