profound wisdom from a non-believer
you need to be stable before you can save a drowning person. imagine if you are barely floating. a struggling person will easily pull you down and drown you.
the knowledge you get from books are not always applicable in the working environment. in fact the things you learnt during the course of study is very applicable to life. eg the invigilator always will say: attempt the questions that you know first. skip the ones that you don't know. come back to them later after doing all the ones you know. translate to: in life there may be many struggles. not all problems can be solved at one point. do not focus on one issue that you neglect the rest of the important things in life. it is not worth it.
in work there may be many tasks and you need to pioritise what is important and do not be stressed out too much. and some problems may not have a solution immediately. i now understand the chinese parable 'when the boat reach the harbour it will straighten out naturally' i have observed. situation changes. people changes. what seems so difficult today may be resolved the next. or becomes simplier that it is managable. do not dwell on the problem. move on to do other things first.
when you least expected it, it comes. when you place little emphasis, no attention to it, it comes. when you struggle to seek it, it just don't happen. i have learnt to let nature takes it course.
i observed that my boss is always very calm and not stressed even by mistakes and obstacles. even if one method does not work, he'll calmly says try it. knowing it may not work. continue to persist but not to insist. solution comes. knowing that situation can change.
always maintain a healthy stress level in life. my question: isnt it not healthy to be stressed all the time? explanation. a person who exercises regularly has no problem doing a 10km. however, a person who never exercises, will have a hard time with 10km. it means, do not be lazy. need to be consistent to maintain. eg if you start to be comfortable in your work, learn something new. increase the stress level again. whenever you get comfortable with the tasks on hand, take on new challenges. continue to improve. do not be lazy.
wow. this person has changed so much since the last time i saw him 5 years ago. and all these learnt from observation and own reflections and thinking. amazing.
