Had lunch with a colleague today, well in the pantry, i brought my own food alright, to cut cost, and we talk about people like we always... well, it may sound like gossip, but actually, both of us, young as we may, learn from the mistakes of others, mistakes probably the person who commit it will never realise.. and blame it on destiny or whatever else, except of themselves...
what is success?? well.. maslow hierarchy of needs would have said.. when we attain success, we achieve self-actualisation.. yes, in a way it is correct, but success also help to boost a person's ability, attitude and aim.. everyone wants to be successful.. dont we all?? but how to achieve it is yet another problem..
by saying this, i do not mean to betray others, i am only saying my own piece of mind.. like the chinese proverb saying, you may be lucky once, but you may not be as lucky the second time around.. so dont just wait under the tree and expect to get rabbit meat for supper, hunt for it.. which means there are actually no free items under the sky, everyone have to work for it.. and it is through the bitterness we endure, that when we attain success.. it is the sweetest fruit ever,, we are meant to sacrifice something in life.. and if we know we really want the outcome to be like that, then just do it.. with courage.. dare to fail, why, thomas edison failed about 999 times before he finally invented the light bulb... it is his determination that reap awards..
everyone can be geniuses... if they want to... albert eistein and thomas edison are both thought to be plain stupid when they were kids.. bill gates, as well as the creators of google and youtube are all college dropouts.. why they can be so successful?? because they never give up.. they are determined to convince themselves to do that.. not because of some minor obstacles and you conclude it to be the end..
i do not mean to do this.. but i have to admit that there are times i am quite pissed off by my senior, although she often told me that this is so that i can learn faster and learn more.. but when i observe.. i cant help but to be a little angry.. yes, she is a very cheerful person.. she is very good to me.. very protective of me.. but look, just because a client made her a little angry, she refused to call her, and instead ask me to, is this professional?? we came here to be professionals, so it is a must to practice professionalism.. be strict, be open-minded.. no matter how innocently accused you are.. if you know it is not true.. even if it is true, sometimes it is just essential to be a bit thick skinned and face it properly, even after a very fierce arguement.. this is something i learnt from cptx.. and i know it is good for me and hence, an attitude never to give up on, now and forever..
pray be.. not only for myself..but also for all my friends who view this post.. be determine, no matter how stupid one might be.. with determination.. there is nothing under the sky we cant achieve.. the most important is.. we ought not to give up..
