I would like to thank Andrea Gaurana (@xaydtrips), together with the LRS Firemen team (Sandy Cabalcar and Vince Florida), for inviting us to a dinner. Congratulations to the team for winning Third Place in the newly culminated SGA 4.0. You proved that LRS has a different way of training engineers when it comes to data handling and presentation. Kudos to your efforts in continuing what has been started last year.

While eating that sumptuous meal earlier, thoughts rushed through my mind. Some reflections that are worth nothing came like a flood without notice. It's worthy to have those thoughts recorded as my #ulog for today.

Let's cut the chase and go directly to the points of discussion as I intend this post to be succinct as much as possible. Anyway, here are my thoughts earlier:

Your Workmates Have a Great Influence Over Your Stay in the Company

I became part of LRS last October 2016 and since 3 months in the company, I have lots of woes that I decided to resign as soon as I can, but here I am, continuing with corporate slave diary in the same company. Part of my decision to stay is my interaction with my colleagues. I can say that they're the fine thread that keeps me from resigning.

I didn't have any conflict with any of them and every moment with them is as enjoyable as I was still in college. The reason maybe is because majority of the population are millenials like me. Nevertheless, our superiors were also cool and easy-go-lucky types, so we didn't have a problem when it comes to bonding and going out as a team.

People Come and Go

The line up today was so different when I joined the team. There are new faces, while the old ones were going their own ways and pursuing their own career paths. It's so dynamic that sometimes I can't track of the time when those people joined the team and when those others left to join other companies.

There are those who stayed, but everyone will go at some time. It's the reality in life. No one stays forever. I was denial at first because, of course, it's inevitable that I made connections and formed friendships with them. But we can't let them stay. They have their own life and pursuit to take. Even me, I should leave someday to pursue my goals in life. When my goals in life no longer align with the goals of the company, there's no reason for me to stay.

We Have Different Passions and Talents

This is more like @steemsummit's slogan. I realized I couldn't do what @xaydtrips has done during her presentation. I still had in me the trauma that I experienced in college. There's still this feeling that something terrible will happen while I'm in a podium, facing a lot of people.

The multipotentialite in me accepted that we have different passions and talents. I should focus on the things I'm good at. I think I belong backstage. I belong in the planning and preparation stage. I also realized that it's equally important with being in the stage and talking to a lot of people or presenting to them your idea.

There are a lot of things that came to my mind in that short span of time. There are others which I had a hard time recalling what are they exactly. For now, let's just stick to those three above.

Hoe about you? What are your realizations today?

Best Regards,
Kim
