Diary of a CEO

Shoot at the head

A awkurd and funny intepretation, I had such an idea to compare what I am going to do today to someone on his way to the electricy chair; the " Dead Man walking " tradition in Taiwan is treat the death prisoner a good meal the night before the execution day; normally, we will see ( from the jail or some TV footage ) they offer strew egg; fat pork and other food, the food will accompany with alcohal as well.

Last night, when having my shrimp at Circle night market, I had such a feeling, is it my last meal before the execution ? I joke to myself and have the portion exceed my capacity, wife is nice to me, she use her wigge wisdom, seduce me to taste 2 different kind of shrimps. I love it. and the Taiwanese Curry Rice Bowl. then the traditional Herbal Tea - the ice cold taste of mint; we were lucky to find a parking space - a free parking space in the area of night market, this is something usual, having good food, seeing young beauty strolling in the night market, we drive our car back, the wrong direction force us to take a right turn back, when seeing the stree name, I urge my wife not to take the right turn, go straight to next cross road, she asked why, well, this is supersitition ; the streen sign is " Ping Yang Street ", if you know litte literature or slang about Chinese, you will know Ping Yang means the plain ground, before the Ping Yang, normally we will say " When a tiger exile to the plain ground, even the dog will give him hardship ". this is why I asked my wife not to take this right turn to " Ping Yang " street, as it match my situation, I don't want it happen exactly as the street imply.

Going home, I proposed to see the moon at our top floor flat , the moon was so bright, it looks like a big lighting bulb. early Autum wind blows strong, my wife feels a bit chilly, I am falling asleep then, I enjoy watch the stars from our roof top and the sky is so clear.

This morning, when recap the feeling of " Death Sentence ", I changed my mind, as I am responsible for what I am doing . the echo to my heart is " Go your Own way " even you don't know what to do, at least the voice inside tell you " Not to do this ". finding my own destination , this is not the end of the day, be postive, be proactive and be the man.
