For the sake of

So it's just that...

I thought my job is easy, just manly work on claims and send tax invoice. Work on discrepancies on the certification of payment and clarify any doubts. Simple...

This is only the surface. Sometimes you need to know the story behind it. You must be clear on what is going on and present yourself well on every meeting held. Rectify the problems or maybe, prevent any mistakes in the future. No one should teach you what to do but you are the one teaching them what is to be done. Then soon you will become a specialist.

I must say, I now realize that my previous boss, Mr Helafiza actually had pinned too much hope on me. A lot of times, he gimme the authority to do what is within my job scope. When mistakes made, (although most of the times he make it worst by scoldings instead of encouraging) he actually explained to me what went wrong. This is all because he knows I'm a specialist in this and I need to remedy the aftermath. Learn from mistakes! Other than me, no one knows more and no one will interfere or doubt what I'm doing.

It is all started from scratch.

My mentor.

(Happen after I din do well in the meeting with our client previously)
"I just want to help you gaining your confidence. I want to train you to present yourself. You must be sure than me on what is actually happening. So that you will be well equipped with the knowledge you have when going for meetings. Other QS will then have the impression that you are not easily defeated. Then, success is in the way. That is why I see you have that ability!"

Not all people are born with talent. They need to learn and outshine themselves by gaining experience day by day. I'm happy that my mentor had looked up on me.

"I think you are lingually smart!"

He said before. And I'm glad. At least someone know your talent. Although this doesn't mean that I will motivate myself, I just know that my direction is more clearer from the mist I currently lingered in. Just do what I'm suppose to do. Understand the situation, must know every project inside out, have faith, have confidence, then eventually when go to war I will have enough ammo to fight.

7.34 pm - Not for the sake of him telling me what to do, but for the sake of things getting right.
