Over the past 6 years, there has been lots of learnings and experience.
I believe that it has brought the best and worst of me throughout this journey.
Because of that, I do treasure all the memories that comes along with it regardless good or bad.
I do want to believe that everyone has a good heart and meant what they were saying. However sometimes my instinct told me otherwise which I choose to ignore and believe in what I want to believe.
These few months have been extremely tough for me looking back and thinking how to move forward from there and I saw a quote.
"When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower."
This makes me stop and ponder.
Why it is not applied on us and our life? When someone is not performing then most or majority of the blame goes to that person 1st? Comments such as "You need to take initiative and show that you want to take charge of your development", "You need to open up so that others could help you", "You need to think of what you want", "We care about you and we want to help you move to the next level", etc etc.
I do not and will never deny that an individual needs to play a part in their own development be it personal or career, however the environment needs to provide oxygen, sunlight and water as well for the individual to bloom. Or one will say, the individual needs to create that environment to grow as well.
No doubt, that is true as well.
I learnt alot throughout this period especially with one of my associate when he is in the PIP programme. He thought me that what others assume it as a norm takes a great effort for some one else to show. He is blooming in his own way but does not fit the current environment but he can definitely bloom well in a better environment that suits him.
One man's medicine is another man's poison. I believe everyone shines in their own way and I thank those who brought the best and worst out of me so that I can acknowledge my worst and face it.
Change is something inevitable.
Goodbye is a new hello to new adventure and I am definitely ready to take on a new adventure!
