就这样走到世界的尽头吗

“我们曾走过无数地方和无尽岁月
搭着肩环游无法遗忘的光辉世界”

“平凡的我们也将回到平凡的世界
生活中充满孩子哭声和柴米油盐”

其实之前不怎么去听这首歌
知道今年兽妈走了才真正去听
感觉又完全不一样了

十多年前就知道他们了
第一首歌是《听不到》
慢慢的就多了《知足》《天使》这些
有很多时候觉得挺不可思议的
听了十多年还是听着一样的歌手唱的歌

从一开始台下不到十个人的演唱
到北京鸟巢20万人的演唱会
从台湾唱到了Madison Square Garden
感觉好像一场梦一样
对我来说也是一场难以置信的梦

有时候觉得自己挺辛苦挺累的
其实跟他们比起来
觉得自己实在是太渺小了
到现在其实并没有和他们一样的坚持
总是在某个时候就慢了下来
我也不知道为什么

十多年后我们都不一样了
他们变成了天团
我变成了上班族
时间其实并没有等待我去慢慢体会
也没有让我重来的机会
以前老是想做梦
因为梦永远比现实来得更加完美
但之后慢慢不喜欢了
因为,真实的体会,远远超过梦境里的完美

这样的年纪
老实说,没有什么输不起的
也不会觉得太慢
只是我想还需要更加的用心
去对待每一天做的事
不会有上万的粉丝
但也要对得起自己

我不知道再多十几年
我的生活里还会不会有这五个人
但他们会是我生命里一个很重要的部分

曾经的三年前
在凌晨空无一人回家的路上
听着
“当我和世界不一样
那就让我不一样”
造就了现在的我
想放弃的时候
还是希望这样的一个精神
能够继续燃烧

Good feedback to be noted

Had a very good feedback session yesterday, chatting about what I did well and what I didn't do well during the past two months of work. For me personally always focus on what I didn't do well because those are the things which should be improved next time. There are obviously a few technical things about work which I still need to improve on, and it sort of proved that I am actually not a very detail-oriented person compare to my colleagues. I think is absolutely fine, because that is what I always felt about myself also. Not sure why in the past a lot of people said I am very detail-oriented, which makes me feel quite doubtful.

The other thing is about voicing out my ideas. Yes, there are always situations where I wanted to say something, but someone else voiced out my thoughts and took the credit. For me personally, to improve on this is quite, subjective. I agree I definitely can improve by voicing up every time instead of waiting for people to voice up first, but somehow I have chosen not to for certain reasons. Feeling that certain arguments are not necessary and time wasting is one of the reason. As a person who doesn't really like arguing and prefer a more concise progress in work, I don't usually get myself into arguments unless is necessary. And of course, I prefer to be a good listener as a start because people have ideas from different dimensions so sometimes is not very good to be too judgmental at the start. Anyway these are definitely good feedback from my reviewer.

If you ask me a year ago, I probably would not even consider myself being in this job, mainly because it is a contrast to my introvert nature. An adviser should be a very confident in communicating ideas and very outspoken, which I am not. Well, seems that I am doing not bad for now, so hopefully this year I can continue to improve to become a better adviser.

Anyway, what I really hope from the first day of work is to work with everyone in my team, because I will say that I appreciate each of them and hope to work together before anyone leaves. Well, hope for the best and will continue with my non-stopping working journey this year.
