Any Answers?

I'm right now at such a point in life that I can't make up my mind. About my career and education I mean. I just can't be sure about my chosen profession. Will I be successful? Am I cut out for it? Will I enjoy it after a few years? Am I just being foolish and stubborn now?

Too many questions...almost no answers. And I'm still as confused as ever.




The Best Excuses

My friend discovered that I have a very special and extermely helpful talent-- making excuses. I thought-- why not commercialise it? Like write a book on it? I know it sounds silly, but I also know it will sell.


Here is a short excerpt. I think it will go in the Introduction section of my book.

We all need to get rid certain things from time to time. And to escape from them all we need is a good excuse.

Of course, adults are always scolding their children for making excuses to escape homework and studies. But did they forget they do that all the time in the workplace, at home, in society, everywhere.
Of course it's not always easy to make up excuses. And even if you can, convincing the other person can be quite a task.
A good excuse-maker has the following qualities:


  • extremely witty and spontaneous.

  • can think straight under pressure.

  • can convince people easily.

  • has good facial expressions, and can act well.

  • is not scared of the person to whom the excuse is being made.

  • is not shy and can explain things well.


This is just the beginning. There is lots more to follow. Watch out for my Best-Seller! Coming after my exams! :-)
