Every Adversaries present an Opportunity.
This is true for the fact of life, especially for me.
Whenever there are setbacks by circumstances or human factor, for some they chose to run away, resort to
drinking themselves silly to let the night drown away their sorrows or their form of De-stress->smoking. I
have one friend who told me she smoke simply because it takes away her moment of stress.How silly.
Temporary relief = whole life regret.
To some, they chose to dwell in self-pity, crying & finding comfort in her arms of her friends. Thinking life is so
so unfair to her...and live each day as it is,to her, life is like that,no choice..and remains in her comfort zone
till she reached the age of retirement.
To the extreme, they chose to end their life.. thinking problems end the moment they stop breathing. How
Naive & self-fish.
Just like the story of the carrot, coffee bean & one other item which i can't remember..
when these items are place in boiling water<- Adversaries/circumstances.
What appears to be strong,like the carrot yet turns so soft in the water.
Unlike the coffee bean, which turns the crystal clear water into the colour of hers.
Everytime, i fall or feel down, i told myself..i must be like the coffee bean..changing my circumstances instead
of letting it get me down for too long a while.
Yesterday was my last day of work at NHG, stayed till quite late in the night to clear up all my backloads. This
8 months of a full working life, has exposed me to many things..learning how to deal with different level of
people. Though my accountant always pull me down & pouring down cold water.. i can give her a set of
drafted documents pending for her approval and have to go through more then 3 rounds of amendments
before i can do my other set of work. She's a total perfectionist whereas i am more a Bo chup kind, as long as
the general details right, my task is done. She's also tend to critise my phrasing in the way i write my e-mails to
external parties. She constanlty lament that my e-mail send is terrible, users don't get my message i am
sending across. Almost every other day, there would be the same critism, that i really grew tired of, &
subsequently the e-mails i send to my users was seldom CC to her. Only for those of importance, that i have to
read what i wrote for more then 5 times before sending. Even that, i was still being told sarcastically that
there's no improvement at all. Apparently, those period, i would feel that no matter how much effort i put in,
in her eyes, i am just no good in comparison to another team member, who is her pet. and other much worse
stuffs that i don't wish to go into details.
Neverthless, on the good point, her critism has force me in a way to constantly improve myself, with a aim to
let her know i can be better and looking back, those critism & comments of my work reminds me not to make
the same mistake again & to constantly show improvements.
With Critism comes Improvement...Overall, this work has exposed me to think more, learning to deal & to handle people wisely. Some who
appears friendly & helpful on the outside actually can be scheming.
At the same time, in terms of knowledge of handling the practical part of accounting, i can i have improve.
I have a much better clearer picture of the accounting system, in which one can't learn in school.
Theory is just the foundation of actual practical hands on of what we study.
The working world is a better teacher then those past few years in school.
So the next time, someone mention he graduate from the university of society, it's no joke.
Life is indeed a learning experience, seeing things u never know and becoming wiser in the process.
So hiding in a world of your own & living in your cave to protect yourself from the reality & harsh world is
the most foolish thing.. at the end of the day, they achieve nothing in life..
Hope no one that i know would be such a sore Loser..
Back to my books in the evening after service at 5pm and won't blog till m exams are over.
Pray & wish all the best for me.
Tata.
