Principles

I always think that we should always behave and work based on principles and values.

That is why I am so angry and irritated over the current issue of the change in timing and date of the english tutorial. Just because of three persons, we all have to change the date of the tutorial. It is actually no big deal because it benefits all of us as we have a day off.

Yet, I am not satisfied or very happy at the way it was handled. The three persons knew well in advance that the tutorial will be affected. However, they did not say anything about it till the last minute. Extra time was spent haggling over when the tutorial should be now that they want to change it. Their actions led me to the intepretation that they made the assumption that time of others' are at their disposal. This really gets on my nerves.

Now that the issue has been resolved, I should probably start getting over it. It is no point sky-rocketing my blood pressure over this small issue. I have other things to ponder and think about.

But what can I learn from this??? I think, one very important lesson is that I should always bear in mind the consequences of my actions and how other people actually read my actions. If I knew that I would be in such a situation, I would be fair to others by providing earlier notice so that things can be settled easily and effectively, instead of causing so much trouble. So, lesson learnt is to always to think about predicting consequences and seeing different perspectives.

There you go, Jo!!!! Another moment of revelation. Let's live our life this way!!! Extracting lessons and wisdom from things happening around us!

Yeah!!!!

But of course, there is no perfect generalisation. There will always be exceptions!!!!
