This very first post is to remind myself the reason(s) i have created this blog; as a channel for me to voice my own thoughts strictly to myself. I have the difficulties to voice out opinion and making points in any conversation, therefore I hope by writing down what I think, I can improve my linguistic skills. At least I hope I can do this by typing and thinking as spontaneously as I can.
2 days back, I just got booted from an interview (less than 10 minutes into it) for failing to elaborate what I am capable of doing in details.
Q)How do you handle pressure?
- I handle pressure very well and in a sense I welcome pressure because I believe that it can make you work better and push you to go for the extra mile to deliver a good quality work and on time.
Q) Anyone can answer that, that is too generic.
- ....
Maybe I should say more by explaining that life is about pressure; living up to people's expectation and meeting datelines. The whole life is a pressure and I think I am handling it well everyday. If I can't handle it, I would have ended my life long ago.....
It's about doing your best to not to fail your family's hope on you and about meeting dateline to be able to compensate the best that they have given you. And I say meeting dateline because parents are getting older by the day, and your time to be successful, to be able to reward them back becomes lesser and lesser. And you translate this in your work, to work as hard as you can.
I will treat this as a lesson for self-relization and to think of what is needed in my life. As I mentioned earlier, one of the most crucial thing would be to be able to voice out my thoughts and opinions properly, both verbally and on paper.
It's going to be Wesak Day in less than 2 weeks, it's about time I start to ponder about the Great Teacher's teaching again....
