Conversations with myself.

You said you wanted to be the best.

How can that be?

When 7 years have passed.

You said you wanted people to admire you.

How can that be?

When you just facebook and hang loose.

You said you wanted to get married.

How can that be?

When you haven’t saved any money?

There were so many things you’ve said.

But none came true.

Except for a few.

And you made it.

Barely.

By the skin of your teeth.

Now here you are.

Sitting comfortably with an o.k salary.

That just enough for you to live.

Or so you think.

Why do you keep on doing this?

There are other things that you can do.

Yeah, you used to love advertising.

So what happened?

Was it Valerie?

Were you traumatized by that?

Were you traumatized that you couldn’t write?

You’re still worried about your grammar?

Then fix it.

Get over that fear.

Master your grammar.

By any means necessary.

You are scared of presenting?

Then get over that fear.

Practice by doing more presentations.

Don’t think that you can articulate your thoughts well?

Then learn how to articulate well.

Be more confident. Invest in books.

Read more. Do more. Learn more.

Don’t sit down and sulk. Get up and change.

Stop gossiping. And start talking about ideas.

Talk nonsense once in a while. But don’t go out of control.

Listen to what you talk about. It affects you as well.

Words are powerful. And it will affect people as well.

C’mon you. Stop making promises to others. And make promises to yourself.

What do you want to promise to yourself?

Be realistic.

Don’t prove to others and try to look good in front of them.

I’ve said enough.

Time’s a wastin.

See you when you are at the top.
