What's with the weather? Even the aircon doesn't seem to help. I'm so hot! Alexis if you read this, remember we MUST have aircon in our room next time at full blast. I rather be hiding under the covers than sweat in the heat. Oh well, enough of whining..

Today at Power @ Work, we discussed on the secrets of Winning @ Work. Talking about how God places us in jobs that we are gifted for and where our talenst lies. These were some of the questions that we discussed.

1. What do you like to talk about most? Usually our conversations fall into these categories
a)things we hate
b)things we love &
c)things we fear

2. What books and TV programme do we enjoy the most?

3. If you could do anything in the world, knowing that we would not fail, what would you choose to do?

4. If you knew that God granted your request, what would you attempt to do today with your life?

5. What do you wants others to say about your life when you've gone to meet the Lord.

I was considering these thoughts not too long ago when I was seriously contemplating a job switch. But somehow that didn't come to pass to my disappointment and perhaps God's timing. I was listening to a conversation that my colleagues were having and it made me feel like I had to take action soon. "After working at a job for 6 months, you'll know if you're suited for it." And after hearing our big boss talking about his strategy on how he wants to position our investments "People always fear risk and therefore do not dare to invest. However that they do not know if that by no doing anything, they are in more risk."

And here I am being in the same job, same place for 2 years. Maybe about time to take some risk. Not that I'm not enjoying my job, but if I'm, than why these thoughts? I just dun feel in my element the more I work here. While I have asked for great responsibilities in my job scope, I feel very unguided and lost. There is something within that is almost screaming out with restless that I want to take steps to do the things I really want to. And while the job's not that bad, the colleagues are nice too and while it does seem like a decent and good job, the politics is quite a different story. And the people that we have to "fight" with, gosh is just so tiring. And I'm just not cut out for this investment, banking industry. Coz I never cared much about it... Question mark as to why I'm here too. Ha Guess when I was first offered the job, it was more of a grab first then see how.

But God has been so so good to me, that this is my first job in a big organization and learnt so much. For the pple who have groomed me and have given me chances to grow and develop.

Being at the crossroad again...
God light the way.
