Dreams can be sacrificed too

Since young, I always believed that dreams can be achieved. Well, in a way it is true. We can always achieve our dreams, only if we focus on it and overcome all the challenges. But I think the thing that I always think about nowadays is how to let go of certain dreams.

We are just humans, and there is no way that every dreams can be achieved (logically speaking). Somehow we have to sacrifice some of the dreams in order to continue with the journey of the ultimate dream. I probably have always wanted to be a badminton coach, or an army (because I think it is really cool haha), yet these are being sacrificed because I cannot do so many things at once. I guess I also need to consider from the perspective of my parents as well, they probably would not want their children to be in danger everyday. I guess I will not hope for the same for my future children as well. Hence, I sacrifice some dreams and go ahead with the more "logical" ones. I can't be that greedy right?

I am really envy of artist like Mayday, JJ etc because they really achieved their ultimate dream to become an artist. Instead of being envy, I will say I respect them a lot. I wanted to become a singer, yet I don't think I have the resilience to become a successful singer. Not a very good risk taker either, that's why this is not my career path.

I think after 23 years of living, started to become a bit more realistic compare to the past. Personally started not to believe in all those brainwashing promotions, recommendations, sales. After analysing most of them just benefit the person that sell the products/ services (Don't get me wrong there are still good & reliable salesperson out there). But I guess is better for everyone to sort of really think CLEARLY about it before accepting, or convincing other person.

On the issue of social responsibility, as I probably mentioned before, I don't think there is a need for me to prove to others that I am socially responsible. & voting is really just a process, & a vote might be able to change something. But whether a change is from bad to good, or from bad to worse, is a very essential thing to think about. I am not those ambitious individuals that think they are capable to lead the change for a better country. I think managing a country is so much more complex than a person could imagine. Being boastful and arrogant will probably lead to more crises.

A trip to Vietnam last week also reminded me to be appreciative on what my country has. Well, the public transport is a bit crap, but is definitely not the worse, and at least it exists. A lot of things can definitely be improved, and instead of protesting aimlessly here and there, maybe should consider an alternative of contributing gradually for improvement.

Self-reflection will probably change my dreams as I grow older, but no matter what is my life goal in the future being motivated about living is always the ultimate goal.

机会是留给红的人

想到了一段印象很深刻的影片，就特意抽空看了
从小就听中文歌的我
也因此有很多一直深深的影响我的人
有一个人，他就是罗志祥

其实他开讲的影片看了超过5次
但其实每次都有新的领悟
今天想的就是
“机会是留给红的人”

有些人在工作中非常努力刻苦
但却不被看重
或许不善于表达是一个关键
或许心机没那么重是一个关键
以前会觉得好不公平
会生气纳闷

机会是留给红的人
这是一个事实
世界不公平也是一个事实
这些事情都没有办法改变的
你认为世界有那一天会公平吗？
我不认为，因为这太天真

我很珍惜这些非常努力的同事
我很珍惜很愿意帮助我的这些同事
虽然可能有一些是在默默努力的
虽然有一些是不被看重的
但无论怎样，在我的眼里
我都非常的看重和珍惜

“坚持比努力更可怕”
这是他说的第二个重点
我曾经认为努力是最可怕的一个
但努力确实不是
坚持，是重点

一直以来不认为自己是聪明的人
一直以来语言天赋也不怎么好的一个人
内向，不爱表达
很多东西都不属于我
除了坚持
因为这样一个精神
让我走到了现在

我没有办法用我的聪明我的才华去完成所有的事
因为这些东西，我真的不够
但是我会用我的坚持去弥补这些不足
我的做的事，会带给别人一个讯息
那就是，我是认真的
我会坚持的

工作也是一种学习

经历了疯狂工作的一周
一周出席了八个大大小小的会议
最晚下班的时间有了新纪录，十点
拿到了正式入职后的第一份薪水
一切过得确实是挺快的

我相信生活中总是需要不断学习
一开始思绪还是挺混乱的
慢慢就开始知道自己该做什么了
有的时候被赞扬，有的时候被投诉
我想这些都会是很好的经历

十点离开的那个晚上
其实走了之后也没有感觉很好
因为团队都还留着
只有我走了
感觉好像有点过意不去
我觉得一起加班会是一个疯狂的经历
我也知道在不久的将来肯定会发生

老板教会了我很多事
总是能很清晰的看透事情
客户对团队做的有不满的时候
我觉得换做是我早就发火了
因为努力了这么久，被说我们做得不够
我觉得有点过火了
我想老板肯定也不高兴
但要能够把情绪这些因素抛开
还是值得我去学习的

我想我是个没什么目标的人
这样的一个情况暂时不怎么能改变
对于职位看得非常淡的我
更想把精力放在团队的工作上
我觉得这个很少是非的工作团队
是我至今非常感激的其中一个部分

有些时候事情总会不如意
怎么去应对
怎么去冷静
我想我还是需要更多的磨练
