a lesson on humility

today i learn to eat a piece of my own humble pie

case in point..my colleague and I was given a task to complete with the objective of making this organisation , our employer, understand the nature of our accounts and why it must be given the special attention and exception that it requires.

unfortunately i was too bogged down with my own unorganised project and other personal matter ( read as :simply tidak apa attitude) that i have some what neglected to give this special task the attention and detail report that it requires, looking at the fact that it will be a point of reference by my boss and other bosses in this company. hence..i just did what any desperate person feeling guilty and bad will do... hentam saje la.while at the same time praying and justifying why my shoddy work should be acceptable by my boss.

as god is always fair, my colleague who is a wonderful person , i swear to that and not just because she may be reading this blog later, has put in her labour of love into this project and has done a very outstanding job at it despite the fact that she too has a demanding personal life to attend too.

as expected my boss gave his usual kindergarten remark..'i will rotan you for delivering such shoddy work to me!'..( read as: how dare you undermine my intelligence)

indeed today i learn to eat my own humble pie as one cannot take short cuts towards professionalism. professionalism cannot be learn in one day nor in a book or seminar room. it is in your daily life and the people around you. here's to you buddy..job well done. keep it up and i sincerely do want to see you shine.

p/s i will of course just follow your spread sheet and apply it to my own accounts. not patented yet kan ;)
