Avenue Q
We cannot know what’s our purpose, we can only do our best in the things we do and hope that it is all for the beQer. Everything in life anyway, is only for now…
“Only for now! (For now there's life!) Only for now!(For now there's love!) Only for now!(For now there's work!)
For now there's happiness! But only for now! (For now discomfort!) (For now there's friendship!)
Only for now!
Don't stress, Relax, Let life roll off your backs
Except for death and paying taxes, Everything in life is only for now!” – Excerpt from the music For Now

Being brought up in a tradi:onal culture where we are punished for not saying “Opo”, or joining in adult conversa:ons, it has been difficult to keep up with the western tradi:on.
This book changed my views and the way I assimilate especially with foreigners. It has made me aware of what I am unconsciously doing that to me seems normal or some:mes even a must but to those people I need to impress seem unfamiliar even weird at :mes.

The path to end my pondering is a daily meditative practice
ì As problem solver, I succeed if my team executes a plan that sa:sfy them and the people who are important to them.
ì My team is my family, my friends, my colleagues, my mentors and my country.
ì We can never know the purpose our existence, we can only do the best in all our roles and hope for the beQer.
ì The end of pondering can only happen when we accept that everything is only for now.
