Another day @ work
Been a very busy and hectic 2 days so far since yesterday. But I am glad I was maxed out.
Managed to resolve the blogger issue!..haha..I did some research online and found out that it's due to the manual proxy that we have to set in IE!. so if you are facing the same problem, just tagged me and I will email you the steps alrighty?
Anyway, I feel that personally I have changed ever since entering the banking industry; the intensity of the work, the complexity of dealing with different types of people and the level of professionalism that is prevalent in the corporation has indirectly affected and influenced how I think and precieve. I am really thankful that I was given this opportunity to work here and to learn from so many people who are much experienced that I am.
In this industry, I have seen many people who have given a good part of their lives to the bank and at the same time, to build their careers in many different aspects. More often than not, as a result, their personal lives have also been impacted; good and bad. When I see individuals like this, I can't help to feel and ask myself if I would be like one of them in the next 5 years. Of course, it's easy to say that I want to be successful, but success comes with a price always. Isn't it?
The price of sacrificing your time
The price of health
The price of companionship
The price of ministry.
Yet, not all is lost. We can all afford to be better planners, better managers of our time such that lesser things are compromised in the long run. I would love to be able to do that.
Had dinner with a colleague last night and I really thank God for the glowing reviews I recieved last night. If it's not for His strength and wisdom, I wouldn't be able to settle well into the banking industry and let alone do well in it.
5 more months to go and it would be the end of a year. How would my life have changed? And what would I have taken away from this journey?
So many things to ponder ah? :)
Sometimes, I would just slipped into the rewind mode and think about those days again..especially after work. But more often than not, I would remind myself to snap out of it and come back to reality. Watched a show last night and really like what one of the quotes they used: "Unless you are ready to love, love would always elude you."
So true isn't it? I discovered recently that all along, I have been living in the past subconsciously. Living on past memories, past successes, past victories have been the mode of my life that I have gotten used to. In order to recieve new victories, I got to let go of my past.
Who doesn't have a chequered past?
Who does'nt have a disgraced and failed past?
But I have learnt and recently am convicted that it's not the past that matters because it can no longer affect your decisions presently and let alone your future. It's the decisions you make today and tommorow that will affect your life in the next 5-10 years. :)
I am thankful for a very good friend; Tisha and all the memories that we shared in the past.
I am thankful for close friends like Cuiqi and Jinzhi who have pretty much seen everyside of me.
But as I press on to the future, believing for a GREAT career, a STRONG walk with God and THE blessed relationship, I got to let go and let God take control in every situation of my life.
If you are reading this post now, I am sorry if I have hurt you in any way in the past and please do forgive me if I have hurt you previously.
On this note, I shall end this post. Am going for pract now..going to be a long night ahead and I will enjoy it!
Take care!
me
