According to the McKinsey Quarterly survey released January 2008, for a great majority of executives the events “that have had the most profound effect on their careers” originated “largely at work, not from family considerations or changed personal aspirations”, and that “the single most pivotal event in their careers occurred when they were around the age of 30, after they had spent about eight years in the workforce”.

Personally, I’m still waiting for this “single most pivotal event”.

Well, I’ve already seen Brandon Boyd in person but I still haven’t met Thom Yorke in the flesh. Maybe I’ll just wake up one day, all rich and famous.

But then again people close to me know that my dreams are as simple as having one house in Baguio or Tagaytay and another one by the beach. Okay, a really big house. Okay, more like a mansion. Fine, I want my own island too.

I’m still waiting. Anytime now.

In the meantime, let’s all listen to “Videotape” from Radiohead.
