Time	Event
12:49a	Never be crushed by a stone meant for stepping Many people dissuaded me from going back AXX. Esp those in my ex-team, who have grown to detest what they're doing so much. And a lot of this dissent came from a Christian, and for that, I was flabberghasted. Well, to each his own. I see so many people leaving the office at 9+pm regularly, only to lug home their notebook to continue working on their projects. So many negative examples around, so much of discontent. But they are still around, because they know it's just a stone. What they failed to see is that they have allowed that stone to crush their spirit, to dampen their hopes. For me, I am entering this in a totally different spirit. I know my mandate - to work in China someday. And AXX is really a great place to jump ship, and IR is just the right team to be in. And currently, only IR has 1 tiny vacancy. Some may believe that it's by chance. I prefer to believe that my life is going to fall in place soon. Mag was just telling me how terrible the two upcoming projects are going to be. I've been through both projects as an intern, but this year, the nightmare is magnified twice, for the multi-national projs have increased in width. Same manager, same clients, half of the countries' reps whom I have worked with a year ago. But this time I choose to approach it with more maturity, more control, more vision. It is so important to let the stone remain a stone, and not let it grow into a mountain to crush our spirit, our hope. As I've said before, let hope remain in us, and never allow anyone nor anything to do anything to it. Man, without vision, shall perish. And I'm intending to live to a fruitful age and a purpose driven life. *** After note: Btw, I have not gotten any job offer. But went for Round 1 of AXX's selection. Will keep my interested readers updated abt the outcome in a couple weeks' time. Current Mood: determined (4 Comments | Comment on this)
8:42p	My leadership style You are an SRDL--Sober Rational Destructive Leader. This makes you a mob boss. You are the ultimate alpha person and even your friends give you your space. You can't stand whiners, weaklings, schlemiels or schlemozzles. You don't make many jokes, but when you do, others laugh out loud. They must. People often turn to you for advice, and wisely. You are calm in a crisis, cautious in a tempest, and attuned to even the finest details. Yours is the profile of a smart head for business and a dangerous enemy. You have a natural knack for fashion and occupy a suit like a matinee idol. Your charisma is striking and without artifice. You are generous, thoughtful, and appreciate life's finer things. Please don't kick my ass. *** Well well, I was always thought of as a ringleader. When I went Myanmar, the expedition leader was scared to his ** that I will bring about a revolt. Haha. As if I cared about it enough to do anything. Well well... having potential dun mean i'll go do it. Anyhow, please continue whining, despite what this test said. Cause I like to know I'm really not alone in my circumstance. ;-) I know you're dying to take this test. GO GO! Current Mood: amused (1 Comment | Comment on this)
