Multi-tasking..Today i wish to talk about multi-tasking.. Nowadays, we people have our own multi-tasking activities. For me it will be quite a number, namely (1) school, (2) martial arts, (3) basketball, and (4) VE, as what my friend Rachel has mentioned in my tagboard. I just can't understand why some people underestimated our limits. Some people especially those older generations ones, always think that we people now just only have to study and don't do other stuffs at the same time. More often than not, they probably will think that we people could not handle all the stress and a lot of tasks at the same time.. WTH.. Some people out there are just too stubborn, and always have the mindset of "EVERYTHING THEY ARE RIGHT AND WE ARE WRONG".. I find that by joining VE actually allow me to have more kind of exposure (especially negative ones) and learn how to handle these kind of situations, which is very good for me.. I believe nowadays we should be given a chance to maximise our potential and we should be able to handle multi-tasking stuffs.. Take it as a challenge for yourself, you will never know how far you can reach. Just do everything to your best and i believe you will get the results you wish to achieve, regardless of any stuffs that you do (of course must be a good stuff).
Next... I will like to talk about the latest news that happened on a guy who commit suicide at Chinese Garden MRT Station which my parents just told me about it when they bought the evening chinese newspaper. The reason for such thing is because he couldn't cope with his outstanding bill expenses and the fact that he was retrenched from his previous job. His wife also only earning about $500++ a month and have to cover all the expenses for the whole family with 2 childrens (if not wrong is 2 children) according to the newspaper. After listening to my parents telling me about this latest and sad news, i feel very pity and sad for them. Maybe he don't know that he can seek help from his RC area, that's why lead to such a sad ending.. Can you imagine if you were in anyone of the family member's shoes? It's really really very bad.. Haiz.. My parents told me and my brother that we should be contented of what we are having now.. From this, it makes me to think of my purpose of joining VE. The core reason why i joined VE is because i want to take up new challenges, but then until now i find that i'm slacking too much, didn't really put in much effort for what i really want. YES, in VE, some people may find their initial stage of their journey very easy, some may find it really deem hard, just like me.. Everytime when i see those poly/JC year 1 or even some who still Sec 4/5s doing O Levels that are already a MM (Marketing Manager), it makes me reflect back on myself, on my progress in everything so far, be in VE or other stuffs such as martial arts.. and YES, of course there are other reasons why i joined VE, 1 of which is because of not being dependent on my parents for money, and in future, i will be able to support my parents and give them an early retirement.
Before i end this blog entry, i will like to say that multi-tasking is NOT impossible for anyone of us here. As long we are able to manage our time well can already. Don't ever limit our expectations, dreams, and potentials just because of our parents. We must really know what we really want to achieve and NOT letting them to control over your dreams and potentials.. Till then, i shall end this blog entry here..
