Power

Last night I started reading a book by R. Greene about laws about power.

What is power?

Hunger for power is all we hope for?

subconsciously I have been following some of the rules enumerated.

deceit, lie and take advantage.

Who's more powerful whehehe)

hehehe hope not or hope i really do?

Our office in Manila is having a major re-organization because of many people deciding to get-out of the company . Be liberated with unjust and unfair treatment of the company.

Power grabbing. Independence and more power.

Most of us process engineers (usu. a chemical engineering graduate) believe that our position is acquired and honed through years of experience. It cant be like any engineering profession that you can go and fight on the battlefield and fire ammunitions from university. What i mean is that our work although based on basic principles of science cant be specialized by mere technical schooling or any formal training. Hands-on is the key.

It's like cooking. Eventhough you can read a recipe and have an idea of the procedures, it isnt a premise that you can already cook. It's when you able to hold that knife, start slicing that beef and put in on fire...

Once you got hold of that skills and talents you become more powerful.

One thing that bothers me is that I can only obtain power through years and years of doing this job.
What happens to family.
What happens to social life and what happens to me.

I become more powerful but I become weak.

Weak physically and weak in heart and more importantly weak in soul.

I think a person can only take so much.
Nobody can become more powerful than somebody.

We are all in equilibrium.

We can be powerful but weak.
Just to balance.
