It was with great pleasure I received the good news from an old friend who had just finished writing an autobiography. Keeping lit the amusement, I went for a walk that was unusual in the morning.

As I left the house, I struggled to not peek at the ominous-looking grey sky rightward, instead, I gazed at the fluffy cottony tufts of clouds that were gliding swiftly leftward. Yet the edge of the far right horizon was gloomily overcasting and slowly approaching tempestuously, revealing a colourless day ahead.

The message I received also triggered a promise I made to my friend, next to him would be the book about me.

With scattered thoughts and embarrassment, I pondered about how the narration of my story would be, unable to find words to express the euphoria. Disorientation kicked in surly but slowly, as though I was racing a heartbeat and shortness of breath, as well as weakling knees.

To deflect from such thoughts, I looked up and started to wrangle with the self whether the rain tends to be widespread, coming steadily or in long showers alternating with a whole day drizzle. The weather had ended up futile and further yanked me to the issue.

Grimaced, sneered, and frowned with arms across my chest, I made pointed queries to assuage the annoyance. Then the term that is used to describe an institution or a person who lives in the past, 'anachronism', came to my mind.

I feel like a person who seems to be displaced in time; who belongs to another era.

I contemplated the contrast my autobiography would have, the difference from my professional life, or if my ego shall prevail over the future-oriented focus on reassessing lost opportunities or resources from the past.

Imagine if companies could tell their stories; the day-to-day activities, while each and every one of the emotions run amok from the human resources. If there are established and maintained policies and procedures for an efficient, consistent and competitive hiring process.

The orientation to foster a positive and safe attitude for new employees placed in positions, based on their personal qualifications and skills for jobs could tell a story. The evaluations and rewards of workers based on the quality of the work they do and the contributions they make to the company are stories.
