The little black dress - Memoirs

Last post, I mentioned about the books that I read recently, so one of which called: The little black dress - Memoirs (if i remember correctly). Is about a girl who have been through 2 bad marriages and now she wants to leave her countryside to New York in search of a new life. Her father is a writer for a famous magazine and he referred her to an editor for the position as her assistant. However, she's mean, demanding and difficult to please boss. She managed to work quite well with her. Her boss is competitive and was trying to please the magazine's big boss. She had plastic surgeries to please him and became his mistress. Ppl in their industry had lots of crazy parties with alcohol and drugs. They are in it, just to be part of the group. The main lead chose not to go cos dislikes it and she doesnt want to be in it to climb the corporate ladder. On the contrary, the editor chose to go. After a long night of partying, they returned to their own apartment to nurse their hangover. So lonely.
The magazine big boss's found out about the affair between his husband and the editor. So he magazine biss boss neither support the editor's new book nor promoting her. She lost her power and dominance in the office. In the end, her book didnt sell and she lost her job. Nobody sympathise with her. In fact, they celcbrated on her departure.
There were so many things to learn from the story of the two ladies which is difficult for me to pen down and remember. The few which I believe are:
1) Stay true to yourself and to use your hard wark to earn what you want to achieve
2) Find true friend not partying acquaintences
3) Be nice to ppl and dun spoil relationships
4) Take or accept things tt belongs to you

Another book is "The 24 carrot manager". It talks about the use of "carrots" to motivative employees. Too lazy to write about it..

Had a busy week cos need to work at home on last sun - wed. Soo looking forward to next week, Universal Studio on Fri, Night cycling on Fri too.. =)
Next wkend going to Bintan for YEC retreat and next wkend will be flying to Nihon for 2 weeks!
