OMG Victoria, small world! Do come by this week because we are on sale, and I have one of a kind party bags (beaded with semi precious stones and feathers!).

Oh yeah, I stopped by this weekend. I always pop by whenever I'm in GB.

OMG! Sorry to be off the forum topic.... Can I just be a fangirl for a while and say that I love your stuff. I bought an evening gown from your GB5 store, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.

As for me I love to think that what I am doing is meant to be useful before all, even if I dont love it at the first place, I still love it at the second place , this is what I do for a living, the satisfaction comes with the consideration of my work abd this is what I love.

I come also in loving what I do at the first place even if considered useless in terms of productivity, this is how I spend my time (but money too ) when not busy at the second place.

But I hate what I do at the second place knowing it will become useless, ...and I really love what I do at the first place when pleasure comes to be useful too

Work to live!

Just hit the big 4-0 this year and realized that life is not about work ( I thought it was in my 20's when I still had much to prove). I own three different companies: custom made bridal gowns (1 store), flower business (2nd store), RTW evening gowns in Greenbelt 5 (third store), I have a husband three kids, and a teaching job every friday ( my give-back time, related to my field). I started working out again. Though entrepreneural work has been very good to me, I am certain that is not my life's 'prophecy'. I still get to take my kids to the pedia, review them, and take them out on dates. Go on vacation with my husband.

There is so much more to life than work, work, work!

I am working to live. But in my job there are instances when you're really tied up to catch the deadlines, especially when it's the start of the month, so I ask myself " am i already living to work?".  But I really can't say that since there are times when I can still go home at exactly 5pm :-) It's a good sign that I am not living to work, and I love it :-)

I work to live! but it depends, I love my work also so i really can't tell... it's crazy sometimes when you're on a long vacation you kinda miss your work and hope you can go back to your office and work again, but when you're at work, there will be times where in you would really wish it's time to go home nyahaha...

Bean: You can live crazily why not..but don''''t overdo it! we need to have a life! let us not make our work our life...that will be too sad...

I live for work and I love it...

For me, I work to live. Being a slave of work is just...pathetic!

posted by bean on 11-17-2008 at 09:16 a.m.
