Random Thoughts

Taipei, 01:10 in the morning… from the view of my hotel window, it seems like the city isn’t going to sleep anytime soon; neither am I.

I can’t sleep because there are a lot of things going through my mind right now: a friend’s friend who just slashed the throat of her 3-year old son and is now charged with first-degree murder; a colossal project ahead at work to overhaul the company’s quality culture; the blood diamond article I read in Fortune magazine in-flight; the seemingly never-ending middle-east conflict and war on the news… all these, when considered in perspective, shall mean nothing when we look back 20 years from now…

Yet, they matter because I, we, live in the present time; and this is life.
