I have previously written a post on Work Life Balance and for the past two years I have been a big fan of this concept.

Perspectives change over time, and now I am beginning to feel how overrated Work Life Balance is. How can you beat someone who spends at least 14 hours a day 7 days a week honing his craft?

I had a lot of fun in Seattle and the picture above was taken in the Whisky Bar with US SharePoint Architects and Project Managers on-shore. We partied a lot during the week long conference and worked hard during the day.

I remember one of the stories of a colleague a few years back about one of their top executives who saw employees who can party and drink a lot of booze until the wee hours of the night and get to the office the following day by 8 am as those that has the “it” factor to climb on top of the corporate ladder.

I go to a video games center at least once a week and try to play one of the physically challenging games like—snowboarding, soccer, and shooting; I would get my share of perspiration, and once I saw this kid perspiring as he was playing for almost an hour in the dance revolution machine. Upon seeing the kid I quickly gasp and hoped video games would be created that would serve as gaming and fitness medium.

I would like to apologize that posting these days have been slow; it’s the Holiday Season.

Anyways, I would like to greet all of you a Happy and Blessed New Year

Sorry I am a bit too late because I have spent the whole day of 24 and 25 with my loved ones. Nevertheless, Merry Christmas to all of you!

One of the most celebrated swimmers in the history of the sport, Ian Thorpe nicknamed Thorpedo, retires at the age of 24. But why? He has a few more years ahead of him and could add more to his current five Olympic Gold Medal and 11 World Title accomplishments. Ian contends that breaking world records was no longer as inspiring as it should have been which I view is a case of diminishing returns. Below is Ian’s comments from Foxsports.
