an entry which i wrote way back in january

17 january 2007

Here's to getting started on tomorrow.

2007 has barely begun, and already so many things are unfolding. Sure, there are challenges facing me this early on, but if I'm not used to them by now, I probably never will be. The point is, I've already been through a lot, and the fact that I'm still here standing is a testament to my strength of character. Someone told me, "With respect comes a certain amount of fear." I have never forgotten that. Now, I'm beginning to see (and feel) the truth to that statement. Even the backstabbers admit that much to my face: people look up to me (then again, it could be just another one of their evil ploys to feed on my ego. I say fuck them). I must use this to my advantage while I still can. Very Prince-like (read: Macchiavelli), indeed.

So now, all I have to do is maintain consistency. Stick to the plan. MAKE a plan first, of course (hehehe). Continue to spread the love to those you hold dear. And to detractors, instill fear. play their game. master the art of war.

let's get it on.
