Why be God, when you can be God's friends?


A "God" is someone who has something that you do not have, or a skill you do not possess.

"Gods" are almighty, and he/she is all around. And he/she is among your group of friends!

It is important to be friends with "God", because you can leverage on the skills/stuffs that he has.

Take lunch for example. My company canteen is not very well-known for food. Thus we will always go out to eat. But I don't have a car. =(
Its ok, because Mr Ghost is a "God" of car. You don't have to own one, you just have to have friends who has one.
Credits here to Mr Ghost for being our lunchtime chauffeur without complaints (yet).

I know nuts about hardware, so it always become a pain to build my own computer. And that's where the "God" of hardware - Joe, comes in. It helps that being a buddy disqualifies him from the right to lodge complaints against me for abuse. =p

Then theres the "God" of Lobang (Mr FlyAirplane), the "God" of housing loans (Mr WaterTap), the "God" of accounts (Miss Eel), the "God" of programming (Mr Cockroach), the "God" of Recorded Drama Serials (Mr Ghost) and the "God" of Photoshoot (Mr Cameraman).

My wedding is coming next year, and I need to find some "Gods" of Drinking to be my brothers.

In life, it is impossible to do everything yourself. Each of us has our strengths and weakness. And do not bother to be the expert in everything, because it is NOT possible. Just be a jack of all trade, and establish your network of friends. And help each other out. That's the power of leveraging!

As with organisations, the boss DOES NOT know everything. So he get lawyers, accountants, HR, technicians etc... people from different areas. And thats why he is rich, because people's strengths make up for his weaknesses.

Pray to your "Gods", my children.
And respect them.

Do not underestimate the power of leveraging.
