preparation

How much time do you think you need to be prepared?

Hmm, be prepared of what? Of anything.. To go to school, to meet up friends, to go to work, to attend a meeting, to attend a function, to go on a date, to rush to an emergency site, to face an unexpected situation, etc. Be it a planned event or unplan one.

Of course, to be prepared here not only talking about physically but mentally as well. To be prepared not only to for a happy occasion but for unhappy one as well. To be prepared not only to face the situation but to be able to handle it as well.

Sometimes, we thought we are prepared. But when facing the real situation out there, we are totally lost. We lost our focus, we lost our direction.

For every single day that passes by, are you preparing yourself today, for tomorrow?
Or are you waiting for tomorrow to come by, thinking you have time ahead to get prepared?
And until tomorrow comes by, only you realised that you are totally unprepared?

Sometimes, we tend to forget that time slips away unknowingly. So, always be prepared ahead of time, so that we are able to face it and react positively. Else, we will always trying to escape from the situation on hand, until someone else stops by and help us out. Till when can others help us, if we are not helping ourselves? Till when will others help us, if we do not help ourselves?

Preparation is not something that can be easily done in a second or two. Preparation takes time, until experiences take over. Till then, we have to always keep preparing ourselves. Arm ourselves with knowledge, rational thinking, emotional control.

Always be prepared, as we do not know what will happen next. Even if we may not be fully prepared for everything, but at least, we are ever ready to face our everyday life.

complicated ...

It is complicated ... complicated .. complicated.

Sometimes it is good to just throw off everything on your hand, and head off to different direction, ignoring the fact that your over-burdened tasks that are hitting due date soon, or your up-coming plans to settle your issues on hand seems to get out of hand. But when it comes to the time when you need to face the music, reality will hit hard. The brain is already jammed up and as if bursting out, trying to think how to complete the current task and when to start the new one, as there are continual tasks coming up and any one which get stuck, makes everything goes haywire.

Calm down ... calm down .. calm down.

Back to basic.
Back to square one.
Back to the original track.

Sometimes, it is just that we got so caught up in the run, that we totally lost focus and that is what makes everything seems so complicated and messy.

No matter what is it, things always need to get done, one by one.
Nothing get to be done in parallel by one person, but we can plan to get things done in parallel.
But most importantly is to calm down, and think over calmly.

Calm down, and think.

Resignation...

I resign.... I really resign. Resign to the fact that I am indeed incapable in people management, though I had been hoping to believe otherwise.
Two days in a row that my downlines have hand in their resignation letters. Both whom I think are quite good and have room of improvement and chance to shine. But of course, each to its own. Everyone sure has his or her own reason to leave. And their reasons are what I had already anticipated.
Honestly, the current working environment we have now is certainly not the best around, but I believed, is not the worst either. Work sure has its pressure, and everyone handle or react to pressure differently. But pressure from the team within is not a good sign. Holiday is another issue, which seems to be something we have been pampered with, from young.
I am actually quite supportive to their decision and proud that they are brave enough to take the step. However, on the other hand, this would means that I will be really short handed in a month's time.
For own selfish thoughts, I would have a hard time after this. For their own good, I would put up both hands (and feet, if needed) to ask them to go out and see the world. Do not just cope oneself in the same environment just because you lack the courage to move on. Go out and brave the challenges while you are still young and fearless. Outside may not be better, but instead of wondering how the outside world looks like, why not venture out and see for yourself. Never leave yourself with regrets.
