Days Go By

The whole sentiment of college life finally being over.The overwhelming feeling of days gone by so quickly , never to return.

Just feeling like this song right now.

Days Go By - Keith Urban

I'm changing lanes and talkin' on the phone
Drivin' way too fast.
And the interstate's jammed with gunners like me
Afraid of comin' in last.
But somewhere in the race we run,
We're coming undone...

And days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...


Out on the roof just the other night
I watched the world flash by,
Headlights, taillights,
Running through a river of neon signs.
Mmm-hmmm...
But somewhere in the rush I felt,
We're losing ourselves...

And days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now,
And days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...
Yeah, the days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo!


We think about tomorrow then it slips away.
Oh, yes, it does.
We talk about forever but we've only got today...

And the days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window as the cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin',
You better start livin',
Better start livin' right now!

'Cause days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind.
The cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now...
'Cause days go by...
Oh and a woo-hoo...
Yeah, these days go by...
Oh and a woo-hooo!

Oh!
So take 'em by the hand,
They're yours and mine.
Take 'em by the hand,
And live your life.
Take 'em by the hand,
Don't let 'em all fly by!

Come on, Come on now...
Yeah!
Come on now!
Oh and a woo-hooo!
Don't you know the days go by...

The Myopic View

When I was in Bschool - and that wasn't a long time back, there always used to be 2 sides to things - there always used to be 2 or more viewpoints to consider,analyse ,decode - to arrive at an acceptable , 'middling' though workable solution.

And looking at things from an 'outside' perspective, I used to think - 'hey , how can this company make such a dumb mistake in their strategy??'

Now I discover I'm polarised.I'm on one side.I'm inside an organisation.Polarisation and objective perspectives don't go hand in hand. It becomes harder and harder to cultivate and maintain that objective streak.

So the battle for objectivity begins. The battle against blind belief in personal opinion and in organisational propaganda.And I surmise this will be a bigger fight on a professional front than work-related stress, corporate politicking or dangerous bosses .
