2013年。上過這一課

2013的下半年,新一頁,新章節,縱然這一章節只是很短的一篇,也許會是人生重要的一篇。

這份工,的確是我所夢寐以求的。只是開始的時候,許多艱巨的挑戰、浩瀚的工作知識,伴隨上司嚴謹的要求,一時間自己無所適從,負能量是前所未有的。除了用疲乏的身軀和精神來回應,心底裡說得最多的是:「我做不來啊!怎樣也不能,花再多時間也不能……」

每次審批英文稿件,我說:「我不是native english speaker...怎做得來……」
中文稿來了,我強項吧!但原來中文強的大有人在,自己只做把關,但有時還做得不夠好。
一個月完成一份刊物,聽來容易,但怎的感覺像月復月的拉牛上樹……?
航空、飛機的知識都很艱澀,還有公司許多policy摸不懂,只是硬著頭皮看資料、四處討教,但每每事倍功半……
同事們都很本事,轉數高,對著上司總知道如何作出最快的回應,我不但怕。。。還給別人指我做得慢,笑我口震震……我一邊苦笑回應我會努力克服,心卻說我其實已經盡力了,還可以如何再努力?

……許多許多工作上的否定,我也幾乎徹底否定自己……這狀態很痛苦……更痛苦是我懷疑是否只有自己才有這不濟的景況。

後來。。。另有出路, 我選擇跳船了!儘管那邊的挑戰或者更大。

決定後才發現,之前所說的困難,一個一個迎刃而解了。
英文……一邊做—邊學。有時試著自行大幅修改文章, 文法錯誤也不算多,有時效果也挺好。
中文稿,我只要多信任同事的專業,有意見儘管提出商量, 也別數算自己批改了多少,反正分工的意義是大家都發揮所長。
月刊timeline緊張原來是改變不了,但改變了自己的workflow,事情愈來愈順暢了。而且,我真的成功一月一期地完成刊物。
人脈建立了,對公司的認知多了,對機場運作的知識也多了,現在反嫌有太多東西還未認識便離開。
摸不通上司心情,這似乎解決不了。。。但放開心情,鼓起勇氣,他其實也不是太難相處……(尤其他心情好的時候。又或者他是因為我已遞信而少罵我了?不知曉。)

曾經以為做不了的,回頭看,才發現自己可以做到。痛苦中,人也會成長得更多,進步得更快。說想放棄,只是自己的信心不夠吧!

2013上過的這一課,學會了,日後別因困難便趕緊否定自己。

Teachings in bible worth remembering

Ecclesiastes 7
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,    and patience is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit,    for anger resides in the lap of fools.
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”    For it is not wise to ask such questions.

My mistakes to be rectified

Came across an article today....and reminded me of a lot of misconcepts i had. Yes....i used to put the cart before the horse and forget my responsibilites but just ask God for gifts.

Q & A 
I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. 

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary. 

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. 

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. 

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares; and brings you closer to me. 

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.  

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.    

I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.  

If you love God, send this to other people.
THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY  
May God Bless You, 

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world"
