Tinted Glass Window

Many people are afraid of failures
Often, that's the reason to draw back and not venture into new territories
In fact, it is also one of the most common reasons for people to accept mediocrity

Being afraid of failures means that you're afraid of what others would think of you
If you fail, would you be ridiculed? Ignored? Looked down upon?
Those questions would constantly be playing through in your mind whenever decisions are to be made

Also, what about having to answer to yourself?
What happens to your self-esteem when you fail?
Will you lose confidence in yourself and find it hard to get up once again?
Oh, all the trouble that you would have to go through just to gain 'a valuable experience'

Hence, the safe route is always better than taking the risk
This way, your flaws would not be discovered and you're at a position where your positive side shows
You're at your comfort zone where things are under your control
No worries about things not turning out well as it's just the same routine that you're so used to

Hmm, new and heavier responsibilities?
Just say no, and no one, including yourself would ever find out if you would be able to make it till the end
Just be where things are going smoothly and where you're not in-charge, so that the responsibility is always, not yours

Accept mediocrity and
life.
would.
just.
be.
ordinary.




Oh, dear.

Many had asked me about my work and what I do

To some, they had an earful of the not-so-good side of things

To others, I just smiled and gave the usual OK cause I was too tired of repeating myself

Looking back, there really isn't much to say about my work and let's just put it that I had expectations and it has led to much disappointments

I was really stressed cause I had nothing to do

It came to a point of extreme demotivation that I literally felt useless and just plain stupid

In the end, I just gave up and succumbed into the flow of things

I accepted how things were and that was when I began to realize

Perhaps I did not receive the knowledge that I had expected but it doesn't mean that I had to put my time there to waste

Besides my job, everything else around could be a learning experience

The most influential was the people there...their working attitude, commitment and passion for their job was admirable

Also, my perception and outlook towards things in life have somehow changed too

And I got to meet different people and do some really cool stuff

Staying in Sepang and being away from my daily routines and everything that I was familiar with felt weird at first
But as I got used to things, I really had fun there...sort of like a long vacation
The people were great, there were less worries and life was simple
Despite all that I had probably complained and grumbled to people around, I know that I will surely miss my time there

(Note to self: Stop complaining!)
