很多时候,当你在跑步时会随着自己的脚步跑, 和时间比赛.
但是,当被人超越时, 一般人都会不甘心落后地飞起直追.
从那一刻开始,他就不再跟着自己的脚步跑了, 而是跟着别人的时间在跑.
也从那一刻开始,他只会觉得很累.
做人, 很多时候应该实在点, 可能那个人到最后跑输了, 但是他还有体力去做别的事情, 而你却可能累得需要休息几天, 到最后, 他可能才是真正的赢家.

迟来的机会?
有时侯当你很盼望一样事情的到来, 它偏偏迟迟不来..
当你决定要安定下来,设定目标向前冲的时候, 它才静悄悄地来了, 告诉你现在给你一个机会,要不要??
为什么??? 虽然不知道结果会如何, 我给了自己一个机会,踏出那第一步, 过后才做打算吧.
话说回来, 星期四有个interview, 是一个之前很加入的公司. 都不知道该怎么跟老板拿半天假..现在忙到半死...

It's Weekend!! Hohooo..
Yo Yo, it's weekend!! hahaha..finally..
Just came back from a ex-colleague farewell dinner ..Feel great to met up with them again..
Throughout the conversation, I can feel I'm still with them..that's really make my night!
Of cause, heard a lot of complaints from them about the new changes in the company after bought over by another company...Indirectly, this make me feel that I had make a right decision to leave a year back..At least, I did not feel regret after I hearing from them..
I remembered that I was so struggle to decide whether to leave or stay with them that time, and at the end I left and it's proved me right..This make me feel that sometimes we need to make a decision base on our gut feeling, go ahead with what's in your mind and dont hesitate to do it =)
Oh ya...My friend is running a hostel business in Orchard now..In future, if you have any friend or relative is visiting SG and need a budget accommodation, you can call me up, I wil try to arrange with my friends with special discount rate..hehe...
Have a great weekend!

Insight into Decision Making
Got this from my boss today =)...quite interesting and meaningful..
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange.
You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make........ .......
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him. The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids. While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.
'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'
Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.

Self-Reflection
During our weekly meeting today, my boss suddenly asked us about self-reflection, he wanted us to do a quick test to see which group are we belong to, whether you're a leader, teamworker, co-ordinator, follower...etc .
I was stunned and found out that I'm actually know nothing much about myself, or may be I do not know reflect myself?? haaa..I really dont know...I always believe people surrounding me will know me more than myself...
Sometime I consider myself as a leader, but sometimes I dont..hmm..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today also conducted interview for technicians...This make me recall the days when I was laid off and looking for jobs...and today when i went through the process, I think I have the same feeling for those applicants...Most of them were also retrenchded by their company and jobless for months..haiz...feel bad to tell them that I have only 1 vacancy is openning..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting busier in work lately, and today finally stayed back for unpaid OT to do some documentations...but the stupid system really driving me mad...you just cant imagine it took 2 hrs to upload just 4 documents !!
8 working hrs
3/8--> meeting
1.5/8-->lunch +break
1/8 -->checking and reply email
So,in short I left only 2.5 hrs/day to do my work and follow up...This is my working life...
