I made the bold move last year to leave a comfort zone and
ventured out into the open waters. Friends around me had warned me that things
out there are different. I was to believe that the sharks are all around and
you will likely be bitten from your own kind.
Mentally preparing myself for all this…. Office politics and
competitions are impossible to avoid in the private sector. After all I rather
have that competitiveness than to be in a organization that endlessly protect
the lazy and weak. I always obey the animal kingdom rule. The strong will
survive.
I have been out in the shark infested waters for 8 months
now and I am glad I have moved.
There was a fair share of people who goes around stabbing
backs and some who was bolder (or foolish) to stab while you are facing them. There
were plenty of smiling faces who have their hidden agenda. And of course there
are friends among them I could trust.
Sadly, I have to find another water body soon. This little
pond is running dry of water. Lots of fishes have left and there is a strong
chance there would be a drought. On top of that, that hippo in my opinion, is making
more and more bad moves. One of which has made me come into conflict with my former
colleagues.
I seek to find an ocean this time. Small little ponds have a
tendency to run out of water. Hope there is some good news in the coming days.
