working life.....zzzzz

Going to march out into the workforce by the end of this year. Now it feels like the past what..16 years of school just finish in a blink of an eye. You know, sometimes cellgroup is like a "work-grumble" session, everybody's sharing is how bad work is, and i agree with what my friend say, it makes people like us that are going to work feel depressed. Its like passive smoking you know, this is passive depressant.

Anyway, quite inspired by today's 40 day prayer devotion. the title is called "blowing your cover", from Esther 4:10-14:

"Mordecai shattered Esther's sense of false security derived from living in the King's palace......Mordecai had a clear vision of who God is. He was confident that deliverance will come. Esther could choose to be a part of it, or miss it altogether......"

There is no coincidence in life? I believe so. Arguably, Queen Esther is made queen for that moment; and it is that moment, that was capture in the history. Be part of it or miss it. Hopefully my working life is not zzzzz... I think, I am excited for the strangest reasons. I am excited to go to work because performance in school is really not that great, and I am excited to see how He will lead me and let me see my purpose at work.

There's a very interesting term that hedge fund managers use to describe their fund management style or the unique area that they are trading in--its called "mandate". What is my mandate, and what is yours?

hahah give chance le. we are not so daring to scold our boss at the face so we complain to make ourself feel better :)

anyway work is hardship but that is one thing that can make all the collegue become band of brothers because we share hardship together. best lunch time topic, best ice breaker with new collegue, best way to know their needs... not all that bad.
