COMMUNICATION

Hey guys,

I know I know I lied.......supposed to blog often but sorry la..........a lot of thing got in the way. Just to let you know I'm already an official employee of GAMUDA by February and by today I have already passed my 7 months mark. Kinda fast if you ask me.....before you know it, I would have finished my 1st year here.

Anyway was back in SCF (my church) for a meeting last nite. Haha kinda cool to call it the Summit Meeting (not because it's near Summit Hotel). Summit meeting is a meeting for all leaders of the church in whatever area you are serving in and decided I needed to at least know the bigger leaders of the church.

The elder of the church spoke about communication during sharing. I think communcation is so important. They are two types of wrong communication:

1) Not sharing to the person
2) Sharing to the person

Kinda paradox don't you think but hey most things are haha........Why do I say that?

1) Not sharing to the person
When we keep things to ourselves and say never mind they'll understand, it will continue to eat your heart out and slowly but surely will one day burst into flames.

2) Sharing to the person
Must be tactful in sharing...share with love.....don't suddenly point fingers.....As Bro Lai Yit says...it's not about reasoning, it's about purpose. We need to have good purpose in telling people about their weaknesses and your problems.

One thing that I've learned all these years is being truthful. And that's what I tell my friends..if you don't like my attitude please tell me.......I'm not superman, I cannot read your minds. Up till today I have made my share of blunders with people (some who still hates me....and can act as if I'm not there) but I have learn also to move on and not be obssesed with them hating me. I can only do so much to help them realise it's a mistake but if they don't wanna forgive me then not my problem.

Communication is very important in any organization. My boss always reminds us (all the engineers) to be truthful to him. I have always look up to him for being so patient and also affirming to people. I think the working world needs more people like him. Telling him about my problems is such an ease and even telling him about your weaknesses helps him to try to adapt to my working style and also help me to realise I need to brush up on that weakness.
