Been slightly more than a month since work started. And I just started getting a hang of things at work.
They werent over-exaggerating when they said this job has a high learning curve. They werent exaggerating when they said I have to be organised, good at multi-tasking, good with time-management.
When I started to settle down, I began questioning myself about what I wanted to get out of this job. What my goal is. And I prayed to know what God's plan for me in this place would be. Then I got a shock by what He revealed.
This fast-moving industry was such an eye-opener for me. Nothing like my previous internship. And to be honest, I came to a point where I questioned why people put themselves in such positions. where everything's so rushed and time-tight, and industry's so aggressive. when there are other jobs that are more stable (no changes) and toned down.
But the rewards from this is great. Hard work gets paid off and acknowledged. And some people just like working hard. I admit I'm one of them. I like doing my best in everything I'm given. If I dont do it perfectly, I make sure the next time I improve. And the other reward, which is more significant for me, is strengthening of attitude.
Remember the time when I said so many people had an impression that I look like I'm very soft-spoken, very gentle, and not aggressive enough? I think this job perfectly moulds me and cover up that "weakness" for me. I really needed to up my game, learn to be more firm, and not easily taken advantaged of. I mean I'm not always taken advantaged of, but I needed to be strongER, firmER.
But dont get me wrong, I didnt see being soft-spoken/gentle an imperfection, but too much of anything is bad. so it definitely helps learn this skill of managing people, especially when you start having adult duties. we all need some level of aggressiveness, firmness.
When I came to this realisation that it was all for my good. I was abit jaw dropped. like seriously God? I cant even! I love it, I love God when He just silently equips me in the things I was frustrated with myself. God doesnt always make you understand everything before He puts you into situations. But when you finally understood, He will blow your mind.
It's like He throws you into a pool of water to teach you to swim. And He know you'll never die drowning because He's looking at your progress and will be all ready to jump in to rescue at the sight of danger. He's amazing. if you needed directions to master the skill of swimming, He's there to shout the commands. He's like a coach. But even better, because if you needed to whine and complain about the tiredness of learning, He's there to listen and encourage too. WHAT. this coach too perfect. I want all of Him.
Maybe at first, you dont understand why He threw you into that pool (but honestly, you actually prayed the prayer to learn to "swim"). But you slowly come to realisation the reason of it and take the opportunity to learn as much as possible while you're at it.
