p/s: Did you know that Pan Pacific was the only hotel to offer internet access from the very comforts of your room? At the price of RM 1.90/minute though, heh.
Things I was pondering about the last few weeks:
Evangelism:
----------
Don't wanna sound like a zealot, but at times, I do think we have our ladder up the wrong side of the wall. True, money matters, and well, it's indeed foolish of some Christians to stay at dead end jobs, just because they feel it's their calling to be poor, hah. But have you seen a Christian who's both successful and yet serving God? Tough? yes. Impossible? Nah
But then again, if our lives just revolve around the church and church people, what chances do we have to reach out? Does Church work = God's work? Sometimes we just need a whack on the head to make us all awake.
Relationships:
-------------
I guess as an extrovert, relationships does matter a lot. And working in sales, I just don't have enough office hours time to really get to know my colleagues (hmm, means I'm spared the gossiping, heh), and thus I'm really grateful for opportunities to get to know others through I-bridge, insurance meetings, Toastmasters, cell group, and even Crossroadz.
You know, everytime I see some old people, I wonder if at that age, whether my life would have been a blessing, an impact to those around, or would I just have wasted mine away. Not easy, but I'm trying my best..
Mistakes:
--------
What would you do if you made a mistake, or even worse, mistakes. And to top it off, you didn't realise about it until much later on, when you begin to realise your friend isn't all chummy with you.
Would you, like the blur me, apologise profusely, hoping your apologies touch a chord within the person? Hmm, advice anyone?
um...why would apologising makes you a blur person? if you do mistake, isn't it only right to apologise? :S
ReplyDeleteBut have you seen a Christian who's both successful and yet serving God?
ReplyDeleteYou are successful when you serve God. nuff said... The world may disagree, but too many a time the world has been proven wrong.
p/s Pan Pacific is NOT the only hotel to offer in-room internet. Thousands of hotels offers that (most of them are not in Malaysia though)
it's not fair to judge ppl who stick to their (dead end) jobs as foolish. there may be other reasons to it.
ReplyDeletebtw, is your definition of success = wealth? fame? title?
liuhua : well, hah, guess you've gotten it wrong that way...
ReplyDeletemartian & snoflek: Hmm, still thinking.. I do believe in giving your best at work. But, is there a thin line between doing your best and being kiasu-ly trying to be as rich as possible? Hmm
