COIN view

This holiday doesn't seem to be one of the best as I'm working. The only difference is that I get to finish any pending tasks and clear piles of files on my desk easier than the normal days. Normal days, I will be even busier with daily class management, student management, you name it. I must say this is one of the toughest and challenging jobs in the world, but it is very rewarding at the end of the day when you how some one's life has changed for the better. The fact the transformed individuals would walk out into the society to contribute to the development of the society really encouraged me to move on.

Few major events happened this week that demand my attention. Deep within I realize that I have matured more but also I have become more task-oriented and perhaps self-centred. On one hand, some say I have done a good job, on the other, some are in doubt. Personally, I always try to look at two different perspectives. One thing that I can praise God is that I have found few close buddies who would stand by me at all times. They are bold enough to stand in to correct and are daring enough to admit their mistakes. After all to err is human, to forgive divine.

Now, this is what COIN is all about ... Crises, Opportunities, Individualism, Niche

Crises - allow us to view problems either as obstacles or blessings in disguise
Opportunities - allow us to assume new duties in job, ministry that enhance our knowledge, skills and attitudes
Individualism - allow us to recognise the uniqueness in each of us, that we are all playing complementing roles in a team
Niche - is the word that describes what we are good at, our strong points, our unique talents
