Cartoon blog day 14: Money goals

Hey I tried to color my cartoon today because I had more time.

CBD14 Money goals

 

I heard some people have even planned what age they are going to die, what age the are going to retire and so on. But I cannot emphasize this enough, i truly believe that enjoying the experience, the process is a healthier way to live.

Maybe this comes from the fact that in schools we are trained to get good grades, good results even if you are even interested in learning at all.

Even in case of marriages, if you are getting married to have a family what happens after you have a child and the child grows up and leaves the house? I still feel that most relationships are means to an end not an end in itself.

Is that why, couples gets separated after their kids grow up?

At the same time I have never been married and I am single at the moment so maybe I am not the best person to listen to.

What are your money goals?

Bonne Journée.

Cartoon blog day 13: Corporate culture

I used to work for a multinational company in the automotive industry. I don’t know how much money the company spent on building a “corporate culture”, needless to say it felt important.

There is nothing wrong with that, after all, you have people from different cultures working together towards company’s goals.

I am still not sure whether this corporate culture is a solution to cultural differences or a genuine attempt to make employees feel like they belong in a social structure. You have probably heard Managers’ speeches like “We are a family”. (Then what about my real family?)

As you might have noticed I referred to the corporate culture as a possible solution which means cultural differences are seen as problems.

But cultural differences are problems only when faced with the method that the company followed so far to get successful results. A Japanese company follows a Japanese approach, a French company follows a French approach and so on.

Cultural differences are not problems, they are part of our reality.

I feel that these differences are not discussed in all honesty not only because of their complexity but also in fear of offending someone in the process. It’s like a relationship in a couple if you don’t address the differences they will build up exponentially. But people won’t talk about them, because it’s easier to break up than to lose your job.

Bonne journée.

Cartoon blog day 10: Halloween pick-up line

Dressing up as Batman can give you courage. In the future I will make a longer post dedicated to the character of Batman. People always say that Batman doesn’t have superpowers but for me HE IS the SUPERPOWER.

All this to say don’t be afraid to approach that lady as long as you keep your lines respectfully fun. This happens a lot because all ladies I am attracted to, is taken.

Hey just because she has a boyfriend, it doesn’t mean she is happy right? RIGHT? Oh my god I’m an awful person.

Cartoob blog day 9: Attachment

We are not talking about e-mail attachments, as I get older I begin to understand that we need a healthy balanced distance between the things in our lives. Whether it’s SPORTS, WORK, or playing VIDEO GAMES you have to have a healthy distance from these bubbles.

Don’t get too obsessed with WORK because we don’t live to work, we work to live; Don’t get too obsessed with SPORTS at the end of the day it’s a game with people sometimes not from the same country wearing the same uniform to play; Don’t get too attached to hobbies like GAMING well because you need to have also a social life.

Now you might say it’s easily said that done…

This is where ART comes in. I have realized that the test to see whether you are too attached to something can be revealed when you are having conversations about that (those) particular bubble(s). Because conversations keep things in check, not only individually but for societies. And what is better than to laugh at yourself when a stand up comedian makes fun of a gamer in a clever way. You may feel uncomfortable at first but STAND UP comedy done right is ART and your laughter can be liberating and put things in perspective which is why I firmly believe in the idea of artists to say what they want.

Bonne journée.

 

Cartoon blog day 8: Texting

I am not the first person this happens to, nor is it the first time that it happens to me. I go meetups in Bangkok where I meet new people. We have interesting conversations, then whether it’s a man or a woman they give you their contact. Then you ask them whether they want to go for a beer, or hangout and talk about stuff. And then SILENCE. I tried to find out why in the beginning but now I gave up I just move on because now I have a lot other things to do. Like my daily cartoons, my monthly webcomic series and my Youtube videos on my channel. What do you guys think, do these people realize they made a mistake? Or were they drunk at the event when they gave their contact details? I wouldn’t mind if it was an e-mail because sometimes people forget to check their e-mail but now everybody has their smartphone on them and the notification must appear on their phone.
