nicely written

good way to write post,

benefits on one hand,

pitfalls on the other..


four-four points


normally people always only write the good part,

but leave out the bad..


i like that this post highlights some shortcommings:
"

  1. Not Everything That Counts Can Be Counted: While metrics are important, not everything valuable can be boiled down to a number. Aspects like company culture, employee morale, and brand perception are challenging to measure accurately but are essential.
  2. Overemphasis on What's Measurable: If an organization only focuses on measurable aspects, it might overlook other crucial elements. There's a risk of becoming too myopic, missing out on the bigger picture.
  3. False Sense of Control: Just because something is being measured doesn’t mean it's under control. Relying too heavily on metrics might give a misleading sense of mastery over a situation.
  4. Potential for Manipulation: When performance is tied to specific metrics, it can incentivize behaviors aimed at improving those numbers, sometimes at the cost of genuine progress or ethical considerations."

well written

regrets. CNY 2025

 what has this world to offer?

went back from CNY to malaysia.

stayed over at auckland for one night.

slept in an aiport hotel that had free shuttle bus.


didn't buy any specific presents for the siblings this time around....


wish i could have brought back the raspberryPi for taikor and jonah

and give each of the niece and nephews NZ coins

or even a single silver coin for their red packets...


it would have been so easyto get it in Auckland compared to dunedin

cause of NZ mint... unless i'll be okay with shipping it...



sigh.. i thought i would be using the Pi over here.... thats why i didn't dring it back..

thought i could make stuff with the free time i have.. who am i kidding......


thought i could just buy one in malaysia if i wanted to give it to jonah for his birthday...

who am i kidding..... 



there's no time....

the only time we have is the moment we think about something..

adn if we dont action it in that moment. it goes..


i wanted to bring back a reflex toy for the kids..
