Being the ambitious fellow I am I do have a vague plan as to what I'm aiming at in the next decade or so. I'd rather keep all that to myself though, because keeping things realistic, some of them may not be realized within the timeframe I have set so I'd prefer not to share. Think of it like a set of steps and advances throughout the years that I'll be working towards (I've already been doing this the past couple of years). These are serious life-strategy goals and not things like base jumping off the Burj Dubai, though I would like to do that someday.
My promise is this though, however far I may end up going through the years, I promise to be as accessible as possible.
What this means is that, even if I end up a millionaire (don't you love how I assume these things?), absolutely anyone can reach me at azharc(at)azharc.com and I will reply. It may take a while for me to get back to you, but I will.
I know it's a strange (and maybe even unreal) promise to make, but it's one I'd like to keep. It's one I surely keep now (I try to make sure I respond to every e-mail I receive - but most definitely do to every e-mail that requires a reply). I'm even faster to reach on Twitter. Gtalk, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Skype - I'm on all. Facebook, LinkedIn, so many more.
This stems from the frustrating fact that people 1) Aren't accessible enough and 2) Don't reply. I don't want anyone to feel that way when it comes to getting in touch with me. I get severely irritated with people who don't respond to my e-mails within a day, don't return phone calls, or don't have an easy way for me to reach them.
