1/2 a year later...
So long since i blogged! For a start, i thought i'd just put in my few cents worth about "Your conscience or your job".
"In every job we do, there are bound to be situations for us to make difficult ethical judgment calls. Luckily for most people such situations are rare. But if we constantly have to choose between going against our conscience and keeping our job, then it's time to make a decision. Ethical issues normally fall under 3 categories: the industry issue, company issue, or a few individuals."
In Chinese there's a saying: 人在江湖 身不由己. Sometimes we have got to do what we don't exactly feel comfortable with doing, just because the system is beyond what you as an individual is capable of changing. Be it social dynamics or office hierarchy, it works the same everywhere. In army lingo it's called " by left", the opposite of "by right". At the same time, it's always healthy to stay true to our personalities and not let the temptation of promotion or glory obscure our already tunnelled visions. Or worse, to get lost in the corporate world that we don't even know ourselves anymore.
The importance of this is that we're all going to be entering the workforce proper in a couple of years time. To start with a good habit is always necessary, but more necessary than not, to develop the right mentality towards work so that we can at least enjoy our job better, rather than always looking at the clock, counting down towards the end of the day. After all, we're going to be spending 2/3 of our conscious hours at work, so why not make the best out of it?
Time to knock off liao. Lol. Ciaoz!
