  • extended opportunity: leave your comments now


    the past almost-24 hours has seen 2 comments on my previous post.

    2 comments @ 10c a pop = 20c donation thus far? come now – that’s less than the bank charges involved in making the donation…

    i’ve decided to extend the comment-period with another 24 hours.

    for every comment received on my Blog Action Day post – i will donate 10c to one of their listed causes.

    you’ve got 24 hours – make it count.

  • i'm donating 10cents a pop

    Tomorrow is Blog Action Day – the initiative to help rid the world of poverty. I am following Jacob Cass’ lead (he of Just Creative Design fame) in “doing my bit by leaving it up to you guys to decide how much I will donate.”

    I will donate 10cents for every comment posted in the next 24 hours – starting from the time of this post. Leave a comment saying “I’m helping to rid the world of poverty”.

  • … a job that lets me travel


    last night’s 8th graders’ conversation class got me thinking (again).

    the topic of our class was: “I want a job that lets me travel”. i asked each student to name the top 3 identifiers of their dream jobs, which i listed on the white-board. afterwards, we discussed each student’s answers, their personalities and what we know of them and “chose” their ideal occupation. it looked pretty much as follows:

    Andy:
    1) help people
    2) lets me play
    3) not 9 to 5

    Peter:
    1) easy
    2) lots of money
    3) nice office

    Tom:
    1) work from home
    2) lots of free time
    3) creative

    i was astounded – as by the end of the evening i realized that i had:
    1 philanthropic, professional basketball player,
    1 writer and
    1 arms dealer in my class!

    it got me thinking though… i’m probably not going to be TEFL for the rest of my life – so what would my list look like?

    i’ve come up with the following identifiers (in no particular order) – what would you suggest?

    • work at my own pace
    • creative in various disciplines
    • mix with people
    • non-prescriptive client base (minimal stressful interaction)
    • lets me travel
    • lets me breathe
    • conceptualization (start projects rather than finish them)
    • social impact
    • financial freedom
    • celebrity

    i’m such a gemini, aren’t i.
