Show Off vs Get Praised

I overheard an interested short clips bout the corporate world from Radio this morning. I thought it's quite useful for us, the employee range. There are differences between getting praised and showing off. Though both gives you the perfect reason to smile all day long bout your own achievements. Have a thoughts on these situations:
  1. Miss A has just got promoted, she was too excited and yell "YES" just as she got out from the manager's room. All her colleagues alerted and asked what's up. Then she started exclaiming, "I've got the promotion! yea! yea! lunch is on me ya, everybody!!" Eventually Miss A's colleagues will still go to the free lunch session, some unwillingly cause the whole event will be a one-to-many session of boasting from Miss A. "Ya know, I've be dead busy from now on, you guys better help me out!" She comes home, shout the promotion news out to all her friends and family awaiting appraisal. Yes, Miss A got the appraisal, but at the end of the day, exactly who really DID celebrated her promotion? Herself perhaps her proud parents? She left everyone dissatisfied and jealous, which will bring much much difficulties in her later jobs which needs her colleague's help.
  2. Miss B has just got promoted, she came out of the manager's room quietly. Went back to her seat and continued working. Moments later her manager got out and announced her promotion to everyone and people all applauded for her success. Seniors, juniors came to her for a word of congratulation. She humbly thanked them and said, "Thanks to your support" Everyone would like to get along with successful person, especially she going all low and being able to blend into the crowds. No one will be exceptional jealous of her, everyone will acknowledge her humbleness and creditability. She later gets full support from her colleagues in her career path.
Which situation do you prefer? It's easy to get into situation no.1 as we're all human beings. We can't expect others to understood that we want a praising and go boast bout ourselves. The boasting behaviour will drive your friends and even family away. Nobody will like to belittled by you. If we take a closer look around you, people who are humble often gets more attention. Humbleness is a strong weapon. Remember Taichi?

W.O.T.P.

10th of November 2012, the day we booked our first property together as husband and wife. It was indeed a huge milestone after we signed our ROM papers. This is a luxury condominium developed by Selangor Dredging Berhad and it's located at Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Batu 9, Cheras Selatan. This is a very interesting development because it is situated on 8.9 acres of Freehold land with 4.2 acres of landscaped environment (Yes, half of the development is actually greenery!) The unit built-up range between 916 sq. ft. to 4,311 sq. ft. and sold for about RM450 - RM680 per square feet.  We bought a unit at Block C which is lowest block on the left. Location of W.O.T.P. with proposed MRT station few kilometers away.  The lovely greenery and facilities are really serene and awesome!

What am I?

It has been some time since I last updated this blog. Heaps of stuff happened and I just had the time to pull a break and evaluate the events that happened to me in the past 1 month. I've changed my job, moving into sales line is not an easy decision to make. I was doubtful with myself until I really come on board. Perhaps it may be too soon to tell where I stand in this job, but I was really thankful that my current boss gave me an insight of myself. We had sessions to understand what are our temperament. This is something that govern what kind of job that fits us. Apparently I am an "Artisan" after few rounds of personality tests. An artisan loves freedom, leads by taking action, seeks to have impact and variation, needs appreciation, a risk taker, problem solver and an opportunist. When I read the full description bout what I am, I immediately understand why I felt in constraint and bored working in the manufacturing line. I am just not that type of person that falls i...

Gatherings

I just had 2 gatherings recently. 1 with my high school aka childhood buddies and another with my university buddies. Really appreciate this little time we spent together, just to maintain our friendship. We were once really really close friends and really hope our friendships will last as long as it gets. Last 2 weeks, 22nd June 2008. Me, Sue and Voon had a small gathering to celebrate Sue's 25th birthday at Red Box Plus in Pavilion. Pavilion used to be our school!! Our beloved BBGS used to be on the very spot Pavilion is. Well, having gathering here bring nostalgic memories back to us. Come to think, I've known Sue for 18 years and Voon for 10 years!! That was long..Remembered those days, where life was so problem-free, we used to have MacD almost everyday after school. Our reasons was to revise Add Maths together, the real reason was to have some loiter times. Since our houses were so near to each other, 3 of us always have the reason to go shopping after school. I mean, aft...
