The Long Lost Epiphany
Talking to my fellow colleague who's tendering soon, I realise that I really need a change in my working style and attitude.
Somehow, I have let myself get caught up in the over-achiever bug.
I believed once that to be a good employee is to be able to handle everything. Someone who can do many things at one time. Juggle alot and still come out tops.
I never actually learned how to say "No" to any piece of work thrown at me. I want to learn and I'm eager to learn. Which is why I took each job as a learning opportunity. Something irresistible and therefore not able to reject.
I'm being someone that I am not. I have not acquired the capacity yet and thus, I need to learn more before I take on more responsibilities.
Now I do realise that just like everyone else, I have my own limits. Its about time I learnt to shout out that I cannot take on anymore work.
Its always that I have too many things to juggle at too little time. Things that I really need and want to sit down and go through, it happened that I have some mistakes in them.
I got to learn to slow down, focus and prioritise.
I intend to make the shift in work attitude starting from now.
