Today I am in Baltimore, not on vacation (though I am on leave), nor am I at work. I am here because I can (you really thought I was going to tell you?) I am on business, enough said. This blogpost will mainly focus on challenges. We all have challenges; you may see a challenge as a difficulty but it is really just making you stronger.

With flying, you face lots and lots of challenges, one day you are in 0 GMT, next you are in +7 GMT, imagine how your sleep schedule could get turned upside down. They say you should get enough sleep depending on the amount of time zones you have crossed, e.g if I were to T/O from 0 GMT (Greenwich meantime) to -4 GMT (the country of whatever), you would want to get about 4 hours and 15 minutes of sleep. Back to the point, when you are struggling, you are learning.
Pilots complain about sleep, I have only gotten sleep deprived once.
"The actions that you do now, determine how you will turn out in the future" (can't remember who said that). When I was in the lobby at the Sheraton hotel, I saw a BA Flight and Cabin crew, they were so nice, their light and soft accent was like a violin playing romantic music, sweet and soft. I got to speak with the Captain and First officer. BA crews are like a shooting star, nice and rare, this is exactly why I love BA crews. Here is some food for thought:
"You are not fully dressed until you wear a smile",
"When you smile, you give a piece of your heart",
"A smile can change the world",
"when you smile, people will know the content of your heart" (don't know who said that).
Some pics to make you smile!
Have a nice day guys, remember to smile.
