- Yoz Samuel... welcome to the School of HARD KNOCKS.
Ok, I received my 1st sem results alrdy... and I FAILED 2 MODS! Rite... I was half-expecting it, since I wasn't really motivated to complete certain of my projects, even tho' I kept up late nites juz trying to figure out ActionScript 8.0, and most of the time... I never resolved to completely comprehend it.
Well... guess it's NS one yr. later. It's not dat bad after all. Seriously, though, seeing 2 F's on my report was pretty demoralising. At least my GPA was 2.3, matching to many who juz scraped thru' as well [thank God for my 3D Modelling B-grade]. Bad thing is... I've to graduate one yr. later. Less opportunites, less time to learn more things b4 I start aging.
I've juz begun work @ this advertising agency Dynamic Asia. Alot of unity in the company thr, and almost all the staff thr are youths. Cool ain't it? I think God was leading me into this type of work basically also to get me to realise how privillaged I am to be studying, cuz, to be frank... no job is easy. Well... @ least not as easy as studies. So 2day I had to create an awareness for charity along w/ a grp of team-mates by encouraging donations from pple. We gif em a charity postcard in return. Honestly speaking, I think it's tough to sell $10 cards for charity donations; really not worth the money, esp. when u can get it free outside [quoted by one of the ladies I approached]. For the first time, I felt the sting of being rejected by pple... it's downright frustrating if u ask me. Can imagine the feelings of how those other charity fundraisers approached me in the past... and I didn't gif em' a single cent [not dat I've never given to charity @ all].
Well, for most of the more experienced pple working w/ me, they did relatively better... of course. I heard someone else dispatched @ another area received 75 dontions, equivalent to $150 in juz one day! Looks like I've got a loooooooooooong way to go b4 I acheive smthing like dat. At least I was commended for my gd effort for receiving 11 donations on my first day @ work. Others couldn't even fins half of one book.
Glory be to God.
Yesh... tmr I'll be heading back to work, tho' it may juz kill my partially-flat foot. Boss says I'll get used to it no matter wat. Time to start trainning for hardcore shopping, esp. since Christmas is juz a few mths down the road. I wun really noe whr I'll be assigned to tmr, so dun bother trying to figure out how to help me. Surprisingly, I met a few Bartleyans while I was gng arnd Bras Basah Complex i.e. Tan K.C., Jasmine etc.
They didn't contribute anyway... lolz.
Life sure demands alot more from u as maturity catches up. I'm sure God is preparing for greater things... not dat I'm boasting. I thr's one thing I've learnt from all my foolish ways in the past it's dat God breaks a man b4 he makes a man. And, boy, do I haf much to learn [no pun intended]. Staying true to Pastor Chui's sermon on Sunday, I simply can't help but sympathize w/ King Solomon. Truly, wateva man strives for is in vain. One day, riches and materialism will all be folded into a garment, and the only one who will truly be rich is the one who has built up his treasures in heaven.
God wants to bless us w/ more material things, but it's all to bring us to a realisation dat we need to gif back God even more, in time, energy, tithes etc. May even the life of mine be one of serving the Lord w/ all my heart, and obeying His commnds, for truly, dats the whole duty of man. Imagine the whole world resting simply on dat one duty... how much less stressful life would be.
"God... help me to focus on heaven's treasure -building. Even bring me back to the discipline I once had settled upon for my studies and education. As King Solomon proclaimed: 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto thy own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.' How tough it is to acknowledge u in everything, esp. when we are busy trying to build ourselves up in every area. We want health, we oso want wealth. Sometimes I wonder about Your tolerance for man. Yet, Your heart will not contend w/ man forever. Help me, thus, to recognise Your unfailing grace and mercy upon my life thus far, preserving me thru the seasons. As I lean upon u, teach and guide me to build the rite treasures, which above all, is treasures in heaven i.e. fruits of the Spirit, discipline, holiness, righteousness... and not least... souls. I pray all these in Jesus' most wonderful name... Amen."
Peace out & GB.
