Work politics or social politics?
I don't really think this question is relevant for school kids or those who never worked before.
Trust me, when I was a graduate, I thought I knew the world. But truth is, the world knows better than me and so the world taught me.
In the previous entry I was half-ranting about work politics. Especially nowadays, things at work do seem a little more tense. But I have learnt to have my work justified and am contented with me sitting at my workstation performing the necessary tasks.
Politik Sosial?
Hmmm... Now, I am not sure whether to say if this is a tough one.
Of course I am blessed with good friends. Very good friends. Though I do not have many but I do not have a problem with them.
I don't try to be in a popularity contest.
Somehow Girl Power doesn't work for me
And being Miss-lil-Bitch is no more a fad for me.
Got me so far?
Errrmmmm ok you probably don't.
Now let me further elaborate.
Things goes through revolution. Technology, Music, organisations etc etc
Human, on the other hand goes through evolution.
The kind of human development is different.
From newborn to toddler to lil'kid to teenage age so on and so forth.
At different stages/phases of your life, you prioritise different things because some things are more important than the rest though it may not bring benefit
Getting a barbie doll was my priority when I was a girl. Trolls & Polly Pocket.
Then I started growing conscious about the schools I go to. Whether I was doing well in school. In a way, I was being brainwashed by my parents to get to a good school. Being in the Science stream for 7 years, focusing on science and maths.
A handful of my friends in fact got married after school. At that age, getting married, most girls like me think that they are lucky.
Trust me, having wedding is the dream of every girl. So we went like "whoa!!" & "Oooooo" & "Ahhhhh"
By the end of that phase, I saw myself growing up. Being a nerd and never popular back in Secondary School, I seek to be the all-American girl. Especially when you come out from a Junior College and went to the University.
Then when I started in the workforce. My perceptions change. I fall more than I ever did cos there are so many kinds of people out there. So many.
But I got better.
My priorities have changed. What was important to me before may not necessarily be important to me now.
I will let myself age and mature with time.
People all do.
That's why they came up with the idiom
'Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs'
I have always emphasized on right place and right time.
Of course I made more than many mistakes than I should but I learn, despite some mistakes I made may be irreversible.
Bottom line, I learn & I have moved on
Life is tasting sweeter.
Never better especially with Dearest around.
Just when I thought that there is no more going up again from where I fell, Dearest extended his hands to pull me up. I refused. He insisted. And when I relented, he pulled me up higher than I thought I would be.
Only God knows how much I feel for this man.
He does not go missing. Always a phonecall away. Never far. Everything is made transparent. Trust between us is unimaginable. And we worked so hard, especially when we are far away from each other all the time, to earn each other's trust.
We have worked hard enough to keep this afloat & he never fail to stand by me.
*pinch Dearest cheeks*
I soooo love you for that!!!
"Those who laughs last laughs best"
But they say too this too: Those who laughs last just DON'T GET THE JOKE
I have to admit, the saddest thing is when one starts to be so sure of themselves that they don't see the joke on them.
But
People out there may be enigmatic. But there is always a way to figure out something.
Always. Trust me.
Sometimes, you don't even need an Honour's grad like me to figure it out.
So, at the end of the day, I'd rather stick to work politics. They are much better. Whether we stay in or out of the game. It all depends on how smart we play it. Sometimes I do lose the battle. But that's it.
I, still would choose to avoid all the gejala-gejala sosial
Kids' stuff is seriously seriously really not my type.
