Home Alone

Now that I am home alone, there is an automatic desire to reflect and think about life in general and about my boys.  What am I going to do for my next phase.  Work is enjoyable and fulfilling especially since it is no longer necessary to get best performance review. 

It is important for my boys enjoy doing well in the work and career.  With the changing world of work, I worry for them.  Full time employment is getting less and less globally.  So professionals like lawyers, accountants and doctors have guaranteed work.  Civil Service is still an iron rice bowl.  All other jobs are getting change everyday.  Old jobs disappears and new jobs appears.  The only constant is change.

Retail is going the way of dinosaur with e-shopping at far superior value.  So retail has to remake and remodel to entertainment.  The indisputable king of retail Walmart has lost out to Amazon.com.  Life is getting interesting and challenging.  It is the best of time and worst of time.  Every period seems the same.  The prosperity period in the go-go 80's and 90's may not be repeated.  But economic cycle every 18 years and 35 years according to economists who research is quite optimistic about the future.  So it is not all doom and gloom.
