I must confess I am bitten by the sweet temptation of posting another thought, so I do it now. This shall be the last one for today till I sit down again and share my next random thought with you- I do not know how soon I will post in future......it can be any day or the next weekend.....
Giving you my idea about Australian culture.......two things which are different here from the rest of the world. We ask " How are you doing?" and the most typical Aussie reply will be " Not too bad". Secondly we address friends not as buddies or dudes but as mates so it is " Cheers mate". I share and accept my incapability to adapt to it. It maybe due to my English learning since childhood where we are taught British english so I am stuck to " I am fine or I am very well thank you" and friends are buddies for me.
Another observation is the high consumption of 3 things in people living in Aussie land-energy drinks, mints and cigarettes. This is complete contrast to Asian countries. I often see boys, girls, men and women gulping energy drinks and these energy drinks beat the cola sales anytime. I curiously pick up one can and notice it contents- The can proudly says " High Caffeine Content"......add to them the coffees that one consumes in office which is again caffeine......I say to myself wow, thats a lot of caffeine to keep buzzing.............. Cigarettes are more smoked because of addiction than liking which is understandable and popping mints is much needed after a fag.
My flashing thought...... I wish I had some percentage stake in any of these three products and I will be rolling in more money than I can ever imagine.
However, back to reality - ifs and buts do not make a life but lets not stop dreaming. Unless we dream we can never strive to make Impossible into I m possible. Failures in life should not break us but toughen us up to withstand any storm for future.
Lots of love
AJ
