Getting my butt into business really taught me alot, and even now, i am still being educated. To relate it to church and christianity also helped me alot in increasing and expanding my understandings and perspectives. Now, its not just about logics and theories. Its about experience.
Emotionally wise, it is a challenge to keep it down. I shall stop talking about the christian viewpoint for this post, but go do your own thinking. Somtimes, i feel that its a waste trying to be as professional as a can when i work, when people are generally unprofessional, so much so i feel like quiting the business. Late/last minute cancellation of appointments even when they will be the ones benefitting, my patience is truly and infinitely tested. To be able to remain calm and ok on the exterior is something i applaud myself for, but beneath a smile in the business world, there is often many conflicting feelings. Yes, i do get into these depressive mode once in a while, but my reasons for this venture kept me going. Most importantly, these limits i am being pushed to, help me to understand myself better and to do a much more accurate self-evaluation so as to change for the better.
Because of my venture, i had been getting my hands on a few books, and trying to nurture back my past reading habits. One good read is 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'. I suspect that Robert Kiyosaki is a christian, or rather, he had been heavily influenced by his Rich Dad. To me, its more than just a book to get rich, nor is it anything less of a catalyst for the interest of business inspiration. If anyone of you get your hands on this book, try to read it a second time from the christian perspective. It can really expand your context, if not content, on christianity.
True, you can never know what a working father feels like until you yourself get going about working, with your family in mind. 'I'm working hard for the family' used to sound like an excuse to get away from any wife's nagging and/or children's crying. Now, its a reason to consider believeing.
Enough said about business. Now, about my life now.
Didnt managed to see my section mates complete their 28km. To follow them throughout the past weeks just to miss their last moment indeed is a waste, but thank God i escaped 1xsaigang session. LOL. Never mind, still a private getting a private's pay, but now, i am posted to Changi Air Base. Generally, its an 8am to 5.30pm place, just that i do encounter wierd working hours. Nevertheless, its a good working place. Good times like this might not last long. The next course i am scheduled to go is starting soon... trainee once again. lol.
Just wanna write here that, i am praying for u jc2s in SAJC/SFC for your prelims and 'A's. The God who was able to help me achieve my ABC from my FFF in BT1, is definately still alive. His peace and His help and ever there for you to claim! All the way!
