Just got back home from drinks with my close friends back in Kajang. I guess this time is the longest we've ever had. From 10.30 p.m. till almost 4 a.m. As usual, we discussed a lot of issues comprising from work-related issues to our personal lives. It was a good chat. Something we always share with one another as time allows us. Today's chat has bought new insights to what I will be doing in the next 4 months.
WORKING LIFE.
When I was younger (probably about 12 years old), I often dream of becoming a boss. Opening my own café, serving customers good food and a great place for relaxation. The important thing about this café of mine is it's atmosphere. Whenever patrons come in to this café, they would be feeling awe with its interior design. The café must definitely have a pool table... really cozy couches and a place where the customers will have a "classy" feel. However, as time goes by, other profession seemed to catch my attention as well. Not to mentioned my thoughts of becoming a chef. A great chef.. Someone like Gordon Ramsay.. Well, minus the f***ing trademark of his. It would be even better if I could be the owner and the head chef of this little café. The perfect plan for a food-hunter like myself.
But.... in order for me to pursue this plan, first and foremost is the capital needed for the pumping of this brilliant plan. Next, the KSAs (Knowledge, skills and ability) needed in order for the operations to go smoothly. A good marketing plan is needed as well.. Budgeting and all the other 5 other functional areas are also important for the survival and growth of this café. The monitoring and the HR functions will play an important role to this plan. Without good employees and a great management team, it is impossible for the company to grow into greater heights.
This plan was first initiated by myself and another friend of mine. This vision we have has been long implanted in our minds for almost about 10 years. There is no point for us to keep dreaming without making initiatives towards this plan. Walk the Talk, dude.. This phrase is definitely what I look into everyday. There is no point when we only know how to talk, but no actions done. The more we talk without any actions done, the idealistic mindset will soon take over the actual reality around us. I have been talking and talking about how successful should a person be in the future, driving nice cars, dining in "poshy" places and the list goes on... But when we finally look back, all we did was just doing the talk. Nothing else. However, I sincerely feel that the time is not up yet. We could only dream big for now.. And we will not know what lies ahead of our lives. Who knows maybe this little ambition of ours turns out the way we have always dreamt of.
Nobody knows.
