watch that business!

What your brain can't see, your eyes can't see. I find it a fact that you don't get notice some things until it tickles your mind a little bit. Ever since I start to get myself involved in the world of logistics, I now appreciate the presence of cargo trucks in highways. Before they were just a bunch of big trailer vans causing traffic and pretending to be kings of the road because of their size, and I never even bothered to look at them and see what kind of business they are up to. Now I learn to appreciate their company name, the size of their van, their logo, the IATA code, their slogan and even how many times I can see them on the road and where they're heading to. I'm beginning to learn their importance in business because I am now involved with my company's global logistics. It amazes me all the time whenever I see Nittsu/Nippon, Dimerco, OOCL, DHL, UPS, Maersk and other small time forwarders and carriers and wonder how I haven't noticed them for the past 24 years. I wonder what I'm gonna learn to appreciate and discover next? Hmm, how about airports? Sounds cool to me, heehee! Looking forward to that!

I am definitely going to study how the stock market works! I never understood it since the beginning of time. All I can see in the TV are charts going up and down, people very busy with their computers and paper works, how many points a company had gained or went down, those stock codes that never really mean a thing to me. But when you come to think of it, people actually go ga-ga and get rich with these stuff! Even my officemate is getting to it. Then I ask, why don't I try it myself? It's like doing another but more serious business! And an adventurous way to earn (or probably lose) your money! I'll just give myself time to have a little more money for a capital and time to study how it really works and I'll be all set! Kudos!
