The Messenger

It’s almost time for the deadline that I set up for myself – but sad to say, no openings yet for the position I am aspiring for and there are helluva changes that happened since my last post.

• We got a 2 week training that occured on the 3rd and 4th week of June. And sad to say, we were not allowed to have our vacation leave during the training period so, my plotted vacations on those week just got credited back. Pity.
• I have to deal with the incompetence of some people in the work place. I’m not going to name names but it is just stressful and I was losing the motivation to go to work for the past month.
• We had 2 new people added on our team! Refreshing change, I must say!
• I just firmly believe that if you want a team to succeed, one must be an example. It should always be “Do as I do” and not “Do as I say”. But sad to say, our situation seems to be the latter part – very inconsistent. You don’t take back leadership when everything is falling apart, you must be there also even after the storm had passed. And of course, that also tells something about HOW YOU DO your own responsibilities.

But I don’t let all of those negativity to brood into my motivation. I just take the good things in and if by chance there are still a lot of bad things, I just try to tell them to the persons involved, so that I don’t get anxious about it and they’ll be aware of  it. Though it doesn’t work all the times, at least I still keep the motivation I have and still have the focus. Knowing why you are staying on that path, on that place and with those people is a must, if not, then you are fighting a losing battle.

Two months from now, I’ll be “celebrating” my first year anniversary with the company I work for. Let’s just hope that in time with that celebration, I will also transcend on new heights and get that position that I want.
