One of the best Description of Love that I've ever read...

oOo


"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."

One bored afternoon. I am sitting in front of my PC thinking on what to do (aside from checking my mails, friendster, Poh' blog and clicking on the ads, etc...)

My Lineage II private server is still having problem connecting due to Game Guard error. Rf Equilibrium is still not online and conducting some technical stuff.

I scanned my DVD's and found if I can watch some movies again that I've watched before.

One of `em is "300"

Aside from King Leonida's 300 Army of Gorgeous Bodies (hehehehe), I love the concept and the thing that it has something to do with History (my type of movie)....

now lets get back to the topic....

Queen Gorgo... King Leonida's wife... is trying to convince the Sparta Councilmen to send their Army not just for the King but for the 300 Army that sacrificed their lives just to protect Sparta and its greatness.

I always like her speech. I just want it to share to you the content of the speech. (in text)

***
Councilmen, I stand before you today not only as your Queen: I come to you as a mother; I come to you as a wife; I come to you as a Spartan woman; I come to you with great humility.

I am not here to represent Leonidas; his actions speak louder than my words ever could. I am here for all those voices which cannot be heard: mothers, daughters, fathers, sons -- 300 families that bleed for our rights, and for the very principles this room was built upon.

We are at war, gentlemen. We must send the entire Spartan army to aid our King in the preservation of not just ourselves, but of our children.

Send the army for the preservation of liberty.

Send it for justice.

Send it for law and order.

Send it for reason.

But most importantly, send our army for hope -- hope that a king and his men have not been wasted to the pages of history -- that their courage bonds us together, that we are made stronger by their actions, and that your choices today reflect their bravery.

CiteMan stands for "CITE reference for MANagement Network". It is a free subscription website, community forums where you can discuss anything about Management.

you can check their website @ http://www.citeops.com/

CiteMan Digest has been sending me emails almost everyday. This time I was curious about the topic that they sent. "Milestone in an Action Plan".

These is the content of the discussion. And I wanted it to share with you guys.

What is 'Milestone' in an 'action plan'?


Milestones are installed to reassure travellers that the proper path is being followed and to indicate either distance traveled or the remaining distance to a destination.

Action Plan: A specific document describing various steps (including timeline, and responsibilities) to be performed during the implementation of business / process improvements

Within the framework of action plan, a “milestone” is the end of a stage that marks the completion of a step or phase. At this juncture, a review of outcome of activities may help to decide further course of action. In this sense, a "milestone" not only signifies distance traveled (key stages in an action plan) but also indicates direction of travel since key decisions made at milestones may alter the route through the action plan.

They are those part of action plan at which a review is essential to see the progress made and carryout the course correction according to whether we are ahead in execution of the action, behind the desired point and what needs to be done to correct the situation.

It is a stage which is measurable and / or crucial for effective execution of the action plan. On schedule achievement of a mile stone confirms all is well else one has to review and revise action plan or get paln B, plan C etc rolling.

Finding a serious relationship is not easy to get. It takes a lot of stressful stages just to know that a person is really into you and you are ready to commit. Sometimes getting to know each other is not enough just to start a relationship. It takes a lot of strategy just to know if that person really cares or commit on what he says.

A friend of mine met a guy through chat and find him interesting. They exchange numbers and get to know each other through SMS. They met... and find themselves comfortable with each other... As days goes by... Constant communication showing affection.. numerous dates and thinking that they like each other... They step up into the next level and starting to build a serious relationship...

After days of observation if they are really into each other... My friend told me that he feels that his partner is just playing around and likes him just to be around... I asked him a question. "Were you able to confirm or is it just that you feel that he is not that serious?" He said.. "yes" ... I replied.. "How?" ... He answered.. "He just wanted me to be around." ... I did not replied coz its his own perception to think that way and I respect it... But when I realized and suddenly a question came out of my mouth... "How can u be serious if you think that he cheats on you with just one simple reason?"...


no answer at all... (deadma ang show)

-------


Meeting and Getting to know each other is not enough just to start a serious relationship. It takes time to trust somebody's commitment. When you try to commit your not playing at all. You risk yourself and gamble your emotion with discourage.

Do not expect when you try to commit, Learn from each others mistake,Give time and space to breathe, Learn to accept that he has his own life and his life doesn't evolve around you (vice versa), Wait and never give up. With these you will truly see that Getting Serious is not like a candy that you can grab it and eat it right away.
