rainy days



atc-ed-ed and above

well, its the time of the year, yet again. there are those who are determined and certain of their direction and goal, while some got stranded within the dark clouds overhead. some are questioning their own capabilities, while others are putting judgements on other parties. some will only join when their friends come along onboard, while some awaits to be asked to come join. some are happy as they see their effort over the past year being well appreciated, while some face disappointment when they are not selected.

for those who drop by my blog, old man phua has got something to say, to remind everyone, the true purpose of the transition, before everyone dwells into all the 'who say what' & 'what he did'.

firstly, lets all be glad that, today, the Club has a vast of capable youngsters, interested to lead the Club to greater height. but sadly, there's only so many positions for leaders. its too difficult to judge who is better, who did more, who is more suitable. let's not dwell in the past, but the future, yep, how much more can he or she, and even yourselve, can contribute more.

secondly, its a dark period, as somehow everyone seems to be judged. its a happy thing to know that you are being chosen, preferred and looked up upon, but there are those who got burned when they realise that they are seen less as compared to their peers. do be reminded, the Club can never be at this state, without everyone's effort, be it big or small. for the chosen ones, be glad, that you can contribute as a leader, steering the Club's direction, but for the rest, you all are NOT lousy, and are just as important. the general can't fight a war, without his captains leading the army.

thirdly, the rainy days is just a passing phase, don't let emotions overcome your true self. everyone gets affected as we all feel for the Club, the different committees, and most of all, our friends. be confident of yourselve and your judgement. be open and don't hesitate to interact with others. there will be a lot of hearsays, face-off, confrontation, disappointments, bitching, backstabbing and broken relationships. often, we got lost and burned in all these negativities, just remember, stay true to yourselves, think positive and look forward, the rain will come to an end in no time.

lastly, start thinking of the future! prepare yourselves for the year ahead. what you want to achieve, what you want to amend, where shall the Club heads upon, how we can do things better. yes! start finding the out-going leaders to get them to share their experience. interact with people to know your own strengths and weaknesses. plan the work year for your team, share it with others to make it better.

remember:
  1. knowledge is power
  2. we grow through interactions
  3. you fail to plan, you plan to fail
do your whatever it takes that you don't regret. best wishes.
