Intel Inside (Always)

Point to Ponder: What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. - Helen Keller

Story Line: Intel Inside ( Always) 

I left Intel over 9 years ago (with wonderful memories) but Intel has never left me. And the fondest  of those memories are the people I met, places I visited and experiences I had which enriched my career and life in many ways.

It was something about that environment that so many work relationships during my two job assignments there, 1983-85 and 1997-2015, have become lifelong friendships, and in some cases it’s expanded to our second and third generations ( Kids and Grandkids). There is not a single day without some form of communication with some of those friends (100+)  and/or not a single month without meeting few of those friends.And since coming to Penang, no week goes by without meeting few of those former work associates ( Now Friends).

For me, a lot of credit goes to that culture and environment. I understand the company and current employees are going through some very challenging times. Yes I too have some stories; some funny, may be a few bitter, and some about inefficient things about the place ( save for another day).

Reflection:
But forever I am thankful to Intel for enormous opportunities it provided for learning and growth, make significant contributions that had positive impact on mankind, and make life long friendships. 

I am no longer inside Intel but forever Intel will be inside of me.
