Nice end to 2012. Amazing that l got motivated to finally clear my office cubicle on time. Yes, I did declare to clear it before xmas.and then , decided that I may not have enough time to do so, thus l gave myself more leeway to amend my declaration publicly that I will do it before the new year.
really a good anecdote.Just listening to someone lamenting at her colleague 's desk condition, which does somehow sound like mine. How effective that is. the chinese proverb with direct translation as "scolding the pagoda tree while pointing at the mulberry tree". She doesnt know abt my desk but I admitted and have attempted to invite her over to clean up for me but was ignored obviously. And so determined, drag my feet over the next day and spend a good 2.5 hrs clearing up. Even the cupboard and pedestal. Tho I somehow lost the interest to continue with the overhead compartment. Pulling down the cover got the job done tho. Oh and oops sry that my poor pal has to shift my shoes a little under the desk for a finishing touch. I bet nobody else notice the footwear la.
And next got the new toy which I've decided long ago. Not difficult with this shopping item. Tho still with complaints abt this jelly bean. I shall try to explore and maximise its functions as a good personal assistant. I still need it despite its shortcomings.
A bandaged mind. So having short term memory is as terrible as having an unkempt cubicle? At least they are perceived. Gosh adding more stress to being a better person. For my good I shall try. It is a fine line between remaining as who I am and changing for someone or something. Wonder how long it will last. Life's easier being who u are. Just treasure and be grateful for those who accept u for who u r. Perception is something that is tiring to manage. As long as it doesnt compromise over smth else.....sighz...i know it does tho. I think there are more feeling type of pple so got to take care of them abit.
Strike me smth else earlier on too. Competition. Ive stepped out of it for a long time. Prior to that I guess I was much more competitive. More achieving. Most of time, pple realised that there is no pt in chasing after so many things when they are older. There are nany other things which are worth more effort and focus. Did I age faster? Gosh. Or maybe it is the gen y thing. Quitters, some had stereotyped. Of cos not true! Jus dont bother to compete. U can race ahead if u want to. Without a competitor, it is no fun racing anyway. it is the process not the outcome. U observed alot more things along the way when u focus less on reaching the finishing the line. But if u reached it first, it is a bonus.
However, probably competition gives the drive and motivation. A more hectic but enriching life. As compared to a more at-ur-own-pace, medal-less life. probably I will choose to try another model. Race together with ur counterparts, against ur own target and time. Not with others. That I can balance betw achieving and smelling the roses by the roadside. N the bonus outcome would be shared joy. Better than holding up the medal without pple clapping ard u.
N here goes 2012 soon. The first countdown which I still recall is the millenium year. N now 12 years have passed since that. As we march into 2013, wish everyone great health and well being above all wishes throughout another fulfiling year. Changed happiness to well being with the latter being defined as the having more positive emotions than negative ones. U cant be having happiness only as which is no longer termed without the other emotions to contrast against anyway.
Welcome to our lives in 2013!
