Not Enough Time VS Not Enough Passion

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 by Alan Yu

So recently I was working on a project that had an extreme time crunch that required a lot of dedication and commitment above normal means. In between all this I was talking to a person on how whenever I personally commit to something I am willing to do what it takes. Just like accepting some kind of business agreement, if you agreed to it then you need to find a way to fulfill it.

Now the person kind of implied to me that time was a factor for him in doing this as there simply wasn’t enough time in the day. I then threw an interesting comment on how if this was like say a $100,000 project then I‘m sure the story would be different. Sure enough, he responded by saying that was different as there would be a lot of money to motivate him to do so.

I thought that was such a perfect example on how usually when people say there is never enough time in the day as a reason to not do something that usually the real reason is that they are not passionate or motivated enough about what they are doing.

Paying Extra For Pre-Packaged Meals

Saturday, August 9th, 2008 by Alan Yu

There seems to be a lot more companies that specialize in offering people the option of going into the store and purchasing fresh meat or grocery items that have been all prepared for you to simply take home and cook yourself. Essentially, this is suppose to cater to busy people who at the same time do not want to dine out to prepare healthier meals themselves.

I was looking at the prices too and in many ways the price of the food was almost in line to going to a restaurant except in this case you would be cooking it yourself. Kind of reminds me of buying say pre-packages items or meal courses from the supermarket where you pay a premium price as a result of someone doing the preparation for you. Not only that, but considering you usually have to pay taxes too it makes it even more expensive.

I guess in that sense in is kind of counterproductive as if you are one of those people who thinks that time is money in many ways you are probably ending up at the same result. Although, I would be inclined to say that just taking the time and doing it yourself will save more money in the long run.
