sakura - BEING

there's a sakura tree in front of the house. it;s covered with snow-white, multi-petal flowers. it's cherry blossom season in southern california.

his fren ah mong, invited him for dinner in his mission vijio home which he bought 2 years back, at usd700k, a 2-storey, land area 5000sft, living area 2000sft typical house in a typical housing estate. it should still be costing less now after the financial crisis. he said, another fren just bot one in irvine, slightly smaller, only 500k, in a much sought-out location.

he had to pay his monthly and all sorts of taxes and bills.... barely made enough.
now the changes in his department worried him a lot lest he would be affected in a bad way by these changes.

mong said, "as much as possible i would not want to report any incident or event to my boss, lest he would come back with his famous answer - do you have a process? if not, work on one..... to fix the problem once and for all."

mong is right, when a new boss has this kind of mindset, and he steps into something not so structured, he would have a lot of opportunities to apply this cure-all magic phrase.

but people come and people go - just let the come become and the go be gone.... and YOU just BE ING.
