Fleeting 2008; Carpe Diem

A new year...a new beginning...

I am very pleased with how things have turned out given what a temultous year 2008 has been.

Anyway, I will soon be starting work (come Jan 2009; a few more days) at a new place of work. I will still be in the area of Wealth Management at the bank, but will be at another office.

I will miss my current boss, my relationship manager colleagues and everyone else at the present place. They have truly been a great bunch; very supportive and helpful in helping me settle in. Truly, it has been 4 good months.

Nevertheless, we can always stay in touch.

I learnt; nothing in life is permanent, we have to be ready for the viscittudes of life and take things in our stride. When an opportunity comes a-knocking, you got to seize it, and move on.

Good luck to me, at the new office.

Leader

Prelude:
One that leads or guides.
One who is in charge or in command of others.
----------------------------------------------

Always ready to be a leader
Ever rising to the occasion
Heavy reponsibilities rest on my shoulder
Never backing out
Ever reliable
I can be counted upon.

Opportunities abound
Moving forward
Never passing over
I'd rise to the occasion
Sense of accomplishment
A pat on my back.

Thank you all.
I will again.

Reflection.

Fast approaching 5 months into my career...

How time flies.

Its all about persevering, and having the faith and courage to ride out the current storm. Afterall, things will only get better. But, we can only hope that things will get better sooner and not later.

Therefore, it is always good to have a healthy sense of optimism, and I derive this from my faith. I can always rest in the knowledge that I will have the strength to overcome the obstacles that come my way. Though time at work has its ups and downs, I must not be overwhelmed so readily, instead, I must continue to portray strength in the face of adversity.

I shall therefore press on in the hope that I will be 'confirmed' when the time comes.
