2015 marks my debut
working with a new company; PET.
It made me reminisce
my first day of employment with Proton 5 years ago; January 4, 2010. How I feel
today is waaaay different than what I felt back then. I was scared, naïve, gullible,
reciprocate on instincts, emotional driven, hot temper, sometimes insolent as I
have little threshold of tolerance with imbecile & inefficient people and
most all I was also driven by prejudice. I always made assumptions on people
base on a few encounters only which at the end of the day I regretted those intuitive
perceptions.
5 years later at the
very same spot, here I stand again as a newbie in an established company. So how
are my attributes these days? I would say I am more poised, more of a team
player, better tolerance, more calm dealing with idiots, more composed facing
with “difficult” people, I have more empathy now compared to before, I ponder
on people’s behavior, and most surprisingly I began to flourish my leadership
skills. I never knew I had that in me. I always thought those of pulses of
being in control but apparently I began to establish traits of a leader. Poyo
kan? Hahahahaha…
5 years of gap and I am
very much different than the person I was in a similar spot. I would say these
attributes were discovered by my fellow superior in Proton and they guided me
to propel in constructive direction. Yeap, my superiors, my friends; Razman,
PakCad, Zabani, Azlan Styling, K. Yati, K. Neng and most of all my dearly
beloved K.Mia.
K.Neng once shared
with me that Allah SWT gives us hidayah (hints) at all times. It is around us. It
is everywhere. It is actually the matter of our heart, mind and soul to see
them. To decipher them. It took me awhile to understand this notion but as it
began to unravel, it made me realized that Allah SWT wants us to respond
instead of react because respond is a result of calculative thoughts whilst
reaction is a result of impulse. So whenever I am succumb to any situation be
it by people, task or environment, I would take 1 step back and reflect on the
situation. So this is where I began to notice that my superiors whom I mentioned
earlier on did everything in their power for the sake of my improvement. I realized
that now.
Dear Razman, PakCad, Zabani,
Azlan Styling, K. Yati, K. Neng and K.Mia, I doubt that you guys will read this
post but allow me to commemorate my gratitude. Thank you for everything and do
believe when I say I am who I am today because of your teachings. Syukur Alhamdulillah
Allah SWT crossed our path because it made me realized too that Allah SWT made
us acquainted for us to learn from each other.
Thank you.
