Saturday Stories
April 29, 2017
If I list the things that bring me joy everyday, and I mean
each and every single day, I won't be able to finish until October.
I have, of late, felt the full
flowering of my creative and intellectual gifts. At work, it seems that people
are beginning to rely more from me, not only for answers and assistance, but
also that I could handle things more masterfully.
I feel that everybody, both my
colleagues here and in the United States, are beginning to hold me on an
increasingly higher standard. Looking back, it seems that those who get to know
me would invariably have great expectations of me.
When I first got promoted, I held
it not only as a stronger motivation to achieve excellence and be a role model
for the people I lead, but also a priceless opportunity to prove to myself that
I can hold power and never be corrupted by it.
And power never even affected me,
to which I feel gratitude and a sense of vindication that words alone cannot
possibly express.
If these things have happened a few
years earlier, I might have been overwhelmed. I cannot pinpoint the paradigm
shift, but I know there must be some kind of magic along the way, and that is
enough for me as I continue my journey.
