There are ups and downs.. we try to enjoy the ups, forget the downs.. and the cycle keeps repeating itself..

life sure moves quickly..

How much of a difference can we make out of the whole ride?

the 2 characteristics Ferguson identifies in a top player.. :)

and these times call for decisions to be made..

makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise..

I guess I am reasonable healthy.. waiting for the wealthy and wise.. ha ha

even if there are 1000s of sand grains, they pass through the neck only 1 at a time.

We are the same – we may have 1,000 things to do but lets remember that only 1 at a time would keep our sanity.

Man Utd won from 2-0 down at half time to 5-2 up..

And believe me.. I could feel it.. it had happened at Everton 2 years ago and now at Old Trafford..

woah!

read up on jokes..

crack them..

laugh..

try it. :)

It is amazing how characters from books can inspire us. One such character is Marler -> from Colin Forbes’ book series featuring the British SIS team always saving the world/Europe/England..

The books were nice – I liked them when I read them a few years back but this one character used to keep my nterest in the books alive. Since he wasn’t the main character, he only used to appear in parts and I couldn’t wait to read the parts when he arrived.

Marler was the deadliest marksman in wester europe. He shot with his trusted armalite sniper rifle which he would assemble, had contacts all over Europe for arms and he was immaculately dressed, clean shaven and always with a cigar. I could picture him leaning on the wall(his characteristic position) and was always the guy who took the decisive shot. He was an epitome of patience and alertness – it was impossible to hoodwink him or fool him, if he checked something -> it stayed checked. If he told the team they were safe, there were never any questions asked. He was the genius behind any encounter and the guy who could wait for hours to get a target without even expressing restlessness.

He is everything I’d like to be – it turns out because I am exactly the opposite- unfocussed, rushing, not thorough and the like.

It’s a simple mantra. Remember Marler … maybe I should borrow a Colin Forbes book one of these days to bring back memories. :)

and then look into checking email etc.
