Tmr on 1/2day leave....
Aiyah, i on leave again... Not that i'm always on leave, since the last time i took leave from my entitlement annual leave is Mar for my China trip and since i have been paying back so thus i cant take leave, and now since my leave is accumulating and i feel it's quite sufficient enuff for me to clear 1/2 a day.... since i may have to start saving leave again... i'm really see pp got lotsas of opportunity to travel, and i think i'm not a rich person to be able to go to the Europe now... but who knows in the future??? Was in the car with the usual gang, and wow, i meant the chance to go England, London... wow, am really tempted... hmmm, can see their historic, tourist attractions, like the big Ben stuffs like that... hope they will enjoy the trip... never had the opportunity to travel with this gang, last time missed with them to Aust... but since they never asked, i also quite paiseh to say i also wanna go with them.... n they may find uncomfortable with my presence, i guess... since they also have their own agenda... to me, i find it's quite fun travelling with diff group of pp... hmmm, will always have a great discovery during the time spent together.... =) but anyway, there's always a lot of other opportunities in the future... that's something i told myself always... so that i wont be too disappointed... like buying stuffs or job opportunities... hehe... but there's certain things that's not good to wait....
Okay, am rather encouraged by a story that my HR exec emailed to all the junior staffs.. shall post it here so that it will too encouraged those reading this blog. Here it's goes....
There was this museum laid with beautiful marble tiles, with a huge marble statue displayed in the middle of the lobby. Many people came from all over the world just to admire this beautiful marble statue.
One night, the marble tiles start talking to the marble statue.
Marble tiles: Marble statue, it's just now fair, it's just now fair!!! Why does everybody over the world come all the way here just to step over me while admiring you. It's just not fair!
Marble Statue: My dear friend, marble tile. Do you still remember we were actually come from the same cave?
Marble tiles: Yeah! That's why i feel it's even more unfair. We were born from the same cave and yet we receive different treatment. Not fair!
Marble Statue: Do you still remember the day the designer tried to work on you but you resisted the tools?
Marble tiles: Yes, of course i remembered. I hate that guy. How could he use the tools on me, it hurts so badly.
Marble Statue: That's right! He couldnt work on you at all as you resisted being worked on.
Marble tiles: So???
Marble Statue: When he decided to give up on you and start working on me instead, i knew at once i would be something different after his efforts. I did not resist his tools, instead i bore all the painful tools he used on me.
Marble tiles: hmmmmmm......
Marble Statue: My friend, there is a price to everything in life. Since you decided to give up halfway, you cant blame on anyone who steps on you now.
Moral of this story: It's simply the more hard knocks you go through in life, the more you'll learn and put them to use in the future!!! Do not be discouraged by setbacks and failures. Past is past, you cant change it but it is actually blessing in disguise. Past was good, present is better and future will always be the best...
While writting this encouragement... it's a good reminder that we too are God's marble.... However, if we resisted to his molding and sharpening...we will always be a un-polished marble that's so unglam to look at.... if we allowed God's hands in molding us... we will be like the statue that's so beautiful that showed God's workmanship in our lives... guess the molding part is the most unbearable... At times, when i go thru the process... it's so painful that i felt like just giving up....but wanna see the end product, i would rather suffered now.... though at times, i do struggled so badly that i tends to resist... but after resisting for a while, i gave in to allow the creator to continue His work on me... I will certainly strive to stop resisting God's painful tools and allow God's creative works in my life that i will grow and change more and more like Christ, demonstrating of God's wonderful works in my life... My mission on earth... to know Christ and to let Him known... a easy statement, hard to work it out though... with a lot of help... i needed.
In Hebrew 12:1-12.. but in verse 12 says that "No discipline seems pleasant at time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
A verse to ponder... Oh, i stumbled into this verse while doing my BSF lessons yesterday... =)
