It's now almost the end of February 2010. Mind you, time really flies! The year has been really good one way or another to me generally. Started my post degree last year was a good beginning. Towards the end, she has entered my life. That is the bonus at the end of the year. Celebrating CNY this year has thus been a bit different compared to previous years as I now have more places to visit. It is tiring to travel almost everyday, meeting new faces ... but then again, this is something different.
Looking at my job scope, I can hardly breathe amidst the loads and piles of work. If ever I want to call it a day, I think it will be now. But then again, I recall "Winners never quit, quitters never win". I am thankful that I have found much joy in pursuing in what I believe in - investing my life into others. No doubt, at times it is frustrating to see how they treat you after so much blood, time, effort and tears you've poured out. Many don't seem to appreciate what you've done. To them, this is just part and parcel of life. But to me, I see them as friends who need direction to charter so that they can go further.
To those who have encouraged me, yes .. you may not know it, but you do encourage me a lot. Just a pat on the shoulder, a warm friendly hug when you least expect it, a word of "thank you" and a smile ... all these actually brightens my day. If you would ask me is there any reason for me to continue to coach, to teach, to lead, to serve, to oversee ... I'd say "Yes. It's for them and for the Lord that I will commit myself in doing as long as my service is needed"
Without expecting rewards? Well ... that is another issue all together. Looking at life differently sometimes will enable you to see rainbows in storms. That is being different, that is being significant. Isn't that something different?
