all of my past postings, i've been in places where i am in the same place with my boss. but the current post i am in, my boss is more than 500 km away from me. i cannot see him on my whim, i cannot see if he's occupied or away or if he's in a good mood or not. i can only call or e-mail. perhaps there's only a few opportunities when we can meet, and that's the chance to have an eye to eye talk. it's a good thing to see your superior once in a while, provided you have a good superior with ample leadership qualities. sometimes you need motivation to keep on doing your work, and from him you can get that motivation. sometimes you need advice, and from him you can get the advice. and i like it better, to have a private conversation.
==========================================================
earlier in a person's life, age is a benchmark for achievements. the first 5 years in your life is perhaps the period where your parents keep tabs on you the most, as when you could start focus with your eyes, respond to sound and gestures, roll on your tummy, crawl, sit, walk, run and talk. the next 5 years your parents then expect you to grasp the basic learning abilities of read, spell and count. and after that, they will bother you with academic achievements, right up until your early adulthood and when and where you will land on your first career. and then you go on towards your personal achievements.
perhaps you've achieved everything you want to achieve. perhaps you've also left out something undone. perhaps you're not successful in a certain thing.
then the age stops being your mark for achievements. it becomes the gauge of your preparations towards The End.
