Just now.. my manager sent an email which among many things,
he congratulated me for my performance this year.
as much as i love the sound of these praises,
i am fully aware that this is not what makes me grow.
the turning point for me was when i was told
by my fellow colleague that..
"to be frank.. you had a very poor performance".
he would never know how much those words meant to me.
those harsh words are the things that made me grow.
so was my beloved lady boss at the last company i worked for (a.k.a. bos ayam).
she was the one that made me grow,
instead of my other friendly bosses i worked under before.
the good stuff are often bitter.
and often God let us face those bitter experiences.
He allowed David to fight lions and bears alone.
He allowed David to persevere with his brothers who loved to mock him.
because He knew that one day David would have to fight a battle only he could fight.
He is preparing us for a different giant. A giant nonetheless.
