從草苺變荔枝

Highly recommended book to read
<從草苺變荔枝> 吳若權


成功，是個差勁的老師？失敗，也不一定是個好嚮導。
最重要的是你在成敗之間，能否學習、成長、蛻變！
就如同蝴蝶和毛毛蟲的差異，不只是多了一對翅膀而已，
證明自己能夠逆風而飛，才會抵達夢想的所在。

別太在意媒體給你貼上的標籤、也不要妄自菲薄。
不管別人初見你的第一印象，
是鮮嫩多汁但容易被壓碎的「草莓」、
是表皮粗糙但內在甜美的「荔枝」、
還是外殼堅硬但饕客垂涎的「榴槤」……
這些都無關緊要，
比較關鍵的是你能表現什麼樣的工作態度？
又能展現出多少實力？

不可否認，有很多表現不好的年輕人，
已經加深了企業主管對「草莓族」的負面印象，
最常聽到的批評是：

「明明約好要來面談，卻臨時爽約！」
「缺乏責任感，做不到一個月就突然離職！」
「經不起挫折，遇到困難就退縮。」

要勉勵自己成為破蛹而出的蝴蝶，
不僅形貌美麗、逆風也能飛；
否則，空有華麗的外表，欠缺堅強的鬥志，
充其量只不過是一隻會飛的毛毛蟲而已。

追求自我成長是最有保障的投資，
報酬率絕對划算。在「眾人皆醉我獨醒」的時候，
少點一時糊塗，就能創造很多幸福！

多付出一點努力，就能得到加倍的競爭力！
除了多閱讀、聽演講、向前輩請教、在實務中磨練之外，
千萬不要輕易放棄任何一次可以積極學習或表現的機會。

人生重大的轉捩點，常隱藏在例常細瑣的執行事務裡。
面對每個挑戰，都要全力以赴，用心去累積看似平凡的經驗，
日後都有可能造就巨大的蛻變。

從「草莓」到「荔枝」，最可貴的不是外觀的形勢，
而是內在的厚實，最難得的則是獲得堅強的能力之後，
依然保有甘甜豐潤的本質。

Olympics

No doubt that the Beijing Olympics has got a grand opening ceremony.
No doubt that the Chinese atheletes are getting quite a lot of Gold Medals.
No doubt that it has raisen China's International Images.


But...what prices did the Chinese pay to host this Olympics?

Give it a try

Life is really unpredictable...

Umm... life is really unpredictable...you'll never know what you will get.

I have been back almost 4 months.. and things seemed to have run smoothly.... I mean.. nothing dramatic happened to me.

Got a job I wanted, got 'promoted' to another position, 3 weeks after I started the new job. And now.... here I am... sort of wondering why God showed me this path... sort of wondering why I am walking down the road I chose.

But don't get me wrong, I am not regretting at all. It's just ... I don't understand why!

May be... it is part of God's master plan for me.

One week gone

Just after one week of work orientation, I begin to wonder what sort of things I will be doing? I am sort of excited, yet worried about if I am capable of doing it well.

Oh well... what will be, will be, let it be...

Gotta work

Well... finally got a phone call from the human resources manager on Friday, offered the position I have always wanted to try... Clinical Research Associate. Getting this job seems so easy, everything seem going so fast!! And again, I can't believe my luck.

I have actually applied/sent my application to this company in the beginning of this year, I was just going to try if there were any positions available, and I end up having this HR manager telling me to keep in touch with her to find out if there are any upcoming positions available, and here I am... after going to interviews just 1 or 2 weeks coming back from UK, I am offered this position.

Sometimes, I wonder if God is being nice to me, or has my prayer worked? Or is everything already being set-up by our creator, I just need to follow the signs and do what I am suppose to do??

Anyway, I am glad that I have this opportunity to experience things I have always wanted to do.

Gathering

It was a holiday yesterday, and I finally managed to meet my high school friends for afternoon tea. We had a really nice time, good quality time to talk about things... and of course, I am delighted to hear that a good friend of mine, Margaux, is getting engaged & getting married 'hopefully' next year.

That makes me wonder, what is the purpose of life?? Is it to achieve things you want to achieve? To search for love, and be able to hold on to it? To have children and continue life ever after?

Different people seem to have different goals, I am happy for those who is achieving or have already achieved what they are looking for.
