Going days by another calendar over the past few years, the month of June every year has become the month of saying goodbye and parting way, this year has no different. After two years of all the restrictions and rules, we are finally getting some sort of pre-pandemic life back and we can finally bid our farewell in a way that we used to have before.
It was a whirlwind last few weeks and I am glad it’s finally over. Now it’s the quiet time for us to slowly pick up who we are till the next wave comes. A few lessons from the past few weeks:
1. No matter how much preparation and run-through before the actual event is held, there will always be mistakes on the event day, take it easy, don’t stress out, run with it, face it, solve it and always, always allow room for mistakes (this thinking still doesn’t help me with my 150 bpm heartbeat and jelly legs afterward)
2. Always be kind to others (if you can’t, at least try because one day the table will turn and it might be you or someone important around you come and be in this difficult position)
3. To say someone is not doing their job is unfair, a lot is going on behind the scenes with many many unsung heroes behind the scenes, when you see the crooked ship is still sailing, instead of criticizing the crooked ship please know that as long as the crooked ship is still sailing there’s always someone behind the wheel working hard and is trying to make it work. More understanding would be very helpful.
When life gets so busy, you don’t even have time to think, for it to end soon is your only wish and I am glad it finally is. Besides the few things I mentioned above, I also meet a lot of good and thoughtful people, picked up new skills, and get a bit better knowledge of my ability in this work. I am glad.
For those who are leaving or already left, nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy your new journey, wherever that will be.
