Spent an entire afternoon with my Czech friend Richard. He pushed a lot of sense into me. We talked history, we talked philosophy, talked Economics and talked Milan Kundera! I can’t believe hes reading the exact book I’m reading - but he read it in Czech of course.
I have come to the conclusion that I am a product of the British Empire (which I have never doubted), but whether or not I believe that this society works put a big question mark above my head. Also, the game - Do I really want to play the game?
Cedric read my CV and told me that it is too honest. It makes me think more about whether or not I can be in Business. Perhaps I will just be stepped over because of my personality. Or, that the Business world is made up of a lot of bubbly people, and if I really believe I am more than a bubbly person who has more to offer to this world I can make it a long way in the Business world. Of course there is the question - Do I want to play the game.
Environment might be the next place I will go. Climate Change. I really shouldn’t waste my “skills” I developed in signal processing. Philosophy and Politics are something I can pursue in my own time and perhaps its not too bad.
Bought George Orwell and Haruki Murakami for the summer.
