hm....so i've updated my blogspot lately...if u want to see my serious, objective side, go over to http://desmondli.blogspot.com/ .

i've really thought of not writing here partly due the fact that this blog is more of a shouting post for me....where i vent and rant about things that might be blown out of proportion, but needless to say, need to be said.

so i've been avoiding writing here. it's kinda of a good thing, cause that means my life is a lot more stable and objective than it's been. i guess summer does that to you. more time for peace, more time for calm. gotta say, besides the classes, life's been pretty ok. PS2, TV, read, surf, swim and the occasional gym workout...ain't too bad eh?

i had a 4 day weekend conference last week....kinda leadership conference for GoldenKey...for those who don't know, Goldenkey isn't a run of the mill organisation...it's an international honors society, and i believe some of the services available (career or social) are beneficial to most people. Check it out at http://goldenkey.org/GKWeb/ .

so i've met very interesting people. some of these people are true leaders, some of them are just brilliant. but i'm not going to talk about that.

in such brilliance, personal weaknesses appear. i can't dance, i can't talk and i'm no leader. maybe i should stop being a follower. maybe i should have more confidence in myself. but what are my strengths? i feel normal. one of those faces u can never pick out in a crowd. why? can't i aspire to greater things? how do i do that?

like a friend who mentioned it before: i'm the master of useless information. my expertise will not save the world, or help anyone. why is that so???

i guess, elaborating on these weaknesses emphasizes the need to work on them. i shouldn't sit around and wait for the world anymore. i should go to the world and squeeze the hell out of it. then maybe i will have something that is uniquely DESMOND.
