1) My God notwithstanding, I can allow only one person to tell me the harsh truth about myself. There is no victimization included In doing so, but only genuine, heartfelt welfare.
2) I am not an entire conformist. I do express creative individuality. Externals don't belie the true self and there are less aggressive ways to achieve the same result, surpassing it sometimes.
3) I may not be as focused in other areas but I am definitely aware in the area of language. Therefore, do not act as if I am not and show that you are, with the arrogance of tone, volume and oral reading. It will ultimately turn people off.

Clashes
"Logic will not stand in the way of those filled with the fervour of their own subjective beliefs." - disregarding and deliberate ignorance, unacknowledgement of expressed thought processes/reasonings.
"Somehow it has become weak to hear out an opposing view and acknowledge its value." - as above.

Finally found my purpose for my present!
Insurance was the last industry that I wanted to do administration in but I got it. All the way, I know that God was spurring me on towards this present job. From the end of my first interview to the actual news of my job confirmation, I was pushed by Him.
Now I know why I got it, God anticipated my future and gave me this job to enable me to take care of my future. I can now understand my own insurance policies better. Praise Him!
God brought me to the right company and agency too. I am protected and cared for and loved by most of my colleagues, my superior and my boss. God has loved me all my life. Not only has He done so through my family and friends, through His fatherly self, but also through my present company.

Nostalgia
I miss my tuition days when I could take my time to plan my lessons and pursue my own hobbies, meet up with my friends whenever I wished and go shopping, spend a long time at the library or bookshop, and view the exhibits at the musuem.
Has work taken away such freedom and individual indulgences? Even my current students suffer because of my inability to balance it with their needs.
The positive side is that I now get a stable income and am a little more confident. Most importantly, I get to relieve my dad's worry and to spend more time in prayer.
Should I trade such invaluable gifts for my own selfish desires and myopic perception? Perhaps self-denial and dying to self is the answer needed.

Lessons learnt
1. Lunch break is good to get away from stress and when the stress is faced head-on again, new eyes of strength preside.
2. Remember what my role is and who it caters for. Develop ownership of my position and for that to occur, allow time to strengthen the bonds between.
3. Don't harbour unrealistically high expectations on myself. Maintain my learning attitude and try my absolute best to get things right. Learn from my mistakes.
4. Put myself in the shoes of those I cater for and remain calm in the face of confrontation. Explain my point of view and listen to the views of others. Be humble.
5. Always pray for God's wisdom and guidance. Never test Him by not doing so.
6. When daunting tasks are to be carried out, remain calm and refer to my notes. Pray! Then, embark on the tasks.
7. Even if the nerves get to me, never conceal them with arrogance.
8. If nothing can be done at present to improve the situation, worrying won't help.
9. Take silence as approval. Stop being so paranoid!
10. Never forget favours done unto myself. Return them with similar help.
11. Never give up on tasks assigned even if I have gone past my deadline. Spur myself on!
12. Learn to read people's body language, speech tones and facial expressions. They may speak volumes about true feelings.
