The last month or so has been an adventure into the world of the average Singaporean office worker - late nights, ridiculous deadlines and high stress.
Throw in the other elements that are unique to my situation, i.e. committees, unsatisfied members and a tough boss, and you will know why I haven't blogged in a while.
This may sound like a preamble to a long bitch session on how horrible my work life is, but its not. I actually learned quite a few things over the last month. I will call it:
Lessons on Learning
1) Learners cannot be egotistical. :) Nuff said, i think we all know what that means.
2) Learning from a tough teacher teaches a whole oter bunch of lessons that are not on the curriculum.
3) People feel sorry for you when you are learning, but that's ok!
4) You feel sorry for yourself while you are learning, but you have to keep reminding yourself what your goal is.
5) Learners who quit halfway have nothing to show for it. Sticking with it is hard, but anyone who has dropped ot of anything halfway knows that you lose something at the end.
I am also learning that most people, not matter how tough they are on the outside, have a marshmallow core - something that they will bend to. Find it, and you find the human within the iron lady.
