Just to reflect.....

Getting a job you truly love to do is definitely not impossible, but chances like that are very, very scarce. But the thing is, it is important to understand that the world is tough out there and we are in no position to be choosy about what job we land. Most importantly, each one of us have to be honest. If you don't like the job, you don't like it. But no one said you should just quit and walk away saying, "this job don't suit me".

I'd rather sit tight and try it out. At the end of the day, if you cannot really love what you are doing, no harm trying to like it. Unlike many, I'd rather be honest with myself. I am also trying to like what I am doing by staying away from negative thoughts, keeping a straight mind and looking at things from many other perspectives. You'd be surprise how much you can see and learn by looking at yourself from other viewpoints. Most of us, or probably even all of us are simply too bothered about "me, me, me, I, I, I". Because of one very reason - humans are greedy and selfish people. Everything has to be, "what do I gain from this? why should I do this? I dont' like this!". Frankly, if we stop thinking that way for just one moment, we'll be a lot happier about ourselves.

    My perception reads that when u are out of your academics ,it is more like a cocoon liberating the caterpillar ,to creep and crawl and have a feeler of what is best suited to it.Then it is not like we are mechanically seasoned to do a particular task.Adaptabilty makes u fit to survive and flourish.
    Why not love what u have in hand ,it will make it a little easier for one to handle a job rather than drowning it with your disinterest and non- internalisation.
    Happy Hearts!

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

Fed Ex your documents??

At the client's place today, had heaps to do and it did not turn out easy. Most of us will probably be thinking the client was difficult to work with. On the contrary, they are pretty nice people around the office - definitely a ++ point! Buuuuutttt ........... trying to get documents is a big hassle. I am talking about MASSIVE hassle here. Apparently, their main office is in Singapore so they decided to ship all the documents up into Malaysia. And I mean they really couriered all their documents in 30kg boxes - using FedEx! In short, I pretty much spent at least, at least three quarter of the day digging into boxes in search of those documents so important to my job (in case you don't know, auditing requires heaps of documentation!). --------talk about work stops here before I bore you further------- Good night!
