'Don't ever trust Russians in business.'

and i mean, BIG business.
this unusual sentence said by a mandate territory person that holds Moscow, Belarus, Uzbekistan and a few others '-tans' countries trading biz.
well, meeting a German business man who is currently here in Moscow for his business trip and also visiting his African friend recalled my memory on meeting with this particular officer.

' They are not yet civilized and with their arrogant so strong they had in themselves, i could not even understand why.
The bell-boy could speak fluent English, but he asked me if i could speak Russian!
I scolded them and too bad for me, i had to move out by friday night just because there are no more vacancies in my hotel. '

gee, even to foreigners of the European countries, they have that attitude.
welcome to Moscow, Mr Hubart.

' But to those who had traveled and migrated, they are the only ones that are open-minded.
They are those who could compromise and practice give and take.
Sh*t. '

yup, that was his favourite word.

we enjoyed chatting with him about Russian community of all aspects.
unfortunately, he's already on his way to the airport for tomorrow's morning flight back to Germany.
it all happened when he had no place to sit in Sinbad but already ordered his light meal, a bowl of salad and a jug of beer while waiting for his friend to end his classes on that day.

enough of him.
second time to German won't do me harm aites?
izzat shahiman, i'll be on my way there later!

no, i am not busy with things.
just butting-in with those street-kids that came from far and appreciate us.
and i truly appreciate them deeply.
very.

i hate to say no. i hate letting people down.
i hate it. i hate this.
but i have to learn to say 'NO'.
and i was thought to do so after experiencing overlapping tasks at hand.
i seldom stall.
stalling makes me puke!
i keep on glancing on my wrist watch and feels like torching my way up and bang the door.
i hate canceling plans. i hate overdo clan.
i hate it. i hate this.

but still, i could not decide.

i elevate myself to reach the rooftop.
not by Obi's expensive ladder, not by strings attached.
Albert Einstein said ; 'Be a man of success, not a man of value.'
have a thought.


p.s: money does not matter when you burden people extra too much!
