A belated reflection


A year plus since i have ord-ed, and almost a year being an accounts assistant. Being in the junior position, i realise that things arent suppose to be as they are. Doing things perfectly is one thing, accomplishing it is another.

Taking a bite off life, seeing children in the street, listening to parents talking abt their life experience, i certainly feel that the act of love a parent have to their child, is way too much, or in the wrong way. Parents are not spending enough time with their children, and when they do, they spend it extravagantly, like spending on an iPad, iPhone to make themselves feel better of neglecting their child. It this really love?

Imagine years ago, ur dad and mom would hit u with a stick, and they would say doing this is for ur own good. However, at this date, u dont see parents doing that i suppose, even corporal punishment like standing outside the class is disallowed. So what kind of parent will u be in the future? Take some time to ponder...

But that is life, and taking another bite off ur time, touching ur heart this time, close ur eyes, think of what u are doing; studies, work, etc. and repeat this in ur mind "is this what i really want for my life?"

If ur answer is no, then what do u really want. And if u know what u want, then why not do it?

And chipping off a bit of time to a small but significant team of individuals, being a leader isnt doing things perfectly with a team of greats, but being a good leader is doing things well with the limited resources u have. So, i'd first apologise to my team, for not being an able IC, if given a chance, i would still be the way i am. Coz there's no turning back time and i cant change the way i am with a few paragraphs of words. Even though i had limited manpower then, i did short of being a good leader.

Back to parenting, dont u have to agree for our generation, our parents did great? They didnt really spoil us, at the same time they dont force us to do what we dislike.

And lastly, taking one last bit of u before u sleep: Few people are doing the things they love, but if they do, they dont do it well, they do it perfectly well. So keep dreaming, try to live ur dream, if not, keep living!!!
