Why So On... I Wonder...

Was in KL over the weekend from 23 April to this evening for some urgent work-related matters...

Came straight into the office from the airport cos got some submissions to send to the authorities...

Saw some of the things the Departments submitted were done half-heartedly and started to feel agitated... After a tiring weekend, the last thing I want to see is sub-standards submissions...

Anyway, the Head of one of the Departments was rushing to leave the office... and she's on leave tomorrow...

The incident set me thinking... why am I working so hard when the Departments are not even concerned? It's afterall THEIR Departments, rite?! Not mine?! Though I do have certain responsibilities of oversight on them...

Then the last minute business trip to KL was another joke... how to do a proper review over one weekend?! Didn't they know the deadlines earlier?! I'm sure this will be back to haunt me some day... Jun was right in putting ourselves in the line of fire... But then again, I have my responsibilities too...

I wrote the following sometime back in January 2005 and posted it on another website:

There is a Chinese saying literally translated to mean "Be contented and you are forever happy". Don't compare. Appreciate that we are all different. Be thankful for what you have. We are what we are, no point blaming others for what we are not. Don't focus on what you can't change. Think of what you can change. Make the best out of everything because you can't have the best of everything.

Should I care about what others are doing?! They can be irresponsible and disorganised... But do I have to be like them?! Shouldn't I be who I am as long as I'm maintaining my integrity...
