Things that make us grow

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.

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
