+ can i talk to you about something?
- sure. my place?
i was actually a bit reluctant to okay her request then, i was so sleepy and had lotsa things to do. also it came as a surprise that she wanted to talk to me, first we are not even close, our line of duty in the workplace only crosses path when i order coffee for my boss. but hey that fact even escalates my curiosity, what she would possibly want to talk to me about. AND YAP! CURIOSITY CAN EASILY KILL ME! :p
so there we were sitting in my office sipping tea *grin* and talking about career in the working place. hey, i am a good tea maker you know!
then she talked to me how she wanted to be able to work in the admin office instead of operational. working in shifts, that requires her to work in morning shift in certain days and evening shift in other days, has started to exhaust her. she has been almost 10 years in her position and she wanted to have some more times with her children at home.
she once wanted to apply for secretary position in our business center but then cancelled her intention as she could not type using computer. i asked her, how bad she wants to move to another position? i started to preach on her at that time about taking some simple computer lesson, about all those secretarial tasks that can be easily learned, about all those softwares that ease our job, bla bla bla bla hehehe, i was not sure what to talk about then :D
well, she bought my ideas.
but no, it is not about me inspiring others. hohohoho well a bit :P (narsistic mode : on)
it's about determination. about action. about willingness. about decision.
many of times we want something. so badly. but we do not take any action. nor decision. then when we cannot achieve what we want, we start blaming others than ourselves, including the ever popular excuse well god simply do not grant his blessing on that very thing that we want. oh my.
when we want something so badly, we need to take some decision *sound ones please :p*, do some actions, and show determination. if in our journey to our goal, we face some flaws, again take some decision and action to adjust the steps. don't start pointing out some spacegoat. or abandon our goal too easily and prematurely saying that it is just not meant for us :p
and yes sometimes we can, other times we cannot have what we want. but hey, do you think you can cherish things that you can always easily have more than the things that you cannot as easily in getting?

hm.. bener, na.. kadang kita menjebakkan diri ke "yang penting khan niatnya..", padahal tanpa usaha, niat is nothing..
usaha juga musti sampe batas maksimum, semakin banyak tetesan keringat yang kamu hasilkan untuk mendapatkan sesuatu, semakin kamu tahu bagaimana cara menghargainya *plagiat mode on*
na, met wiken yah..!! have a long holiday!
