My new happiness =DDDDD

Achiever and a Mediocre, which one are you?

An achiever will become very successful in one area of life but may not be successful in the other areas. He/She sacrifices other aspects of the life for one main aspect of life. Take for e.g. a career woman, she is successful in her career, she has everything, from money to status to car to properties, but she has nothing to look forward to in life.

A mediocre, on the other hand, maybe not be very successful but he/she strives in every aspect of the life. Balance work, family and social life. Though he/she is an average person, but this person has everything. Not a lot, but enough just to satisfy him/her and motivate him/her on a daily basis to strive for more.

The man I know is such a person. A simple and happy life is all that he yearns for, that is why he may not be the richest man on Earth, but he has gained more things than what most people do. He doesn't work for money but make money work for him. He is not a slave to money but a master to money. He is not a slave to his job but a master to his job. Not that he is incapable for success; on the contrary, he is more intelligent than any of his peers. But that is the life he seeks, a life without much brain cracking and rat-racing, a life that allows him to do what he likes and spends his time with his loved ones.

Me, other hand, am ambitious. I strive to have a balance of everything while at the same time trying to be an achiever. And well, what is the result? Frequency burn-out and emotional out-break. 

I guess it all goes back to the very 1st economic theory that we learn - 

there are no free lunches in the world.   

 Things have changed for the better since the beginning of this month. Finally, throughout my 1 1/2 years in the current job, for the 1st time I feel myself growing; growing at such a tremendous rate that sometimes I find it unbelievable. This is all thanks to the intensive training by my big boss. Baked and grilled until it is well-done; this is how the training has been like for the 3 weeks. 

It is very tiring and mentally draining, but as compared to the past 1 1/2 years, I finally leave office feeling a great sense of satisfaction. One that motivates me to go on. Well, this is me. The more I learn, the more imperfect I realise I am and the more I want to perfect myself. Tell me what goes wrong, teach me how to perfect it and next time I will learn how to fish. However, this leaves me in a big dilemma.

Previously, the urge to leave the place is because of the environment and its policies and the lack of learning. However, the constant grilling by boss these 3 weeks seemed to make me slowly discard that thought. What should I do now? Should I continue to stay in a job that expands horizontally but I know that I will grow exponentially and leave the place becoming a matured adult? Or should I leave for a better job that allows me to expand vertically?

Well....I guess I know the answer. I will continue to keep a look out for better opportunity and won't leave the place until I know that the next one is able to allow me to expand vertically

.

 Well Done!

I must be superb angry today. All the energy was unleashed during pilates tonight. I was in tip top condition, doing moves which I have not been able to do for the last few sessions. I was extremely amazed. Stretch and stretch and stretch, challenging myself beyond boundaries, feeling my energy flow through.

我很不服

心里战争

When you are being belittled;

When you are deemed to be incapable in almost everybody's eyes;

When you are deemed to be useless or even worthless...

What do you do?
