The Great LAMB

Good wonderful morning! Thanks God for the job you have given

Yesterday morning (10/03/08) was the day I look forward to. I was waiting a great news that I hoped to accepted at "P" company. Even though I have been accepted with "H" company. Then an SMS showed up on my mobile. It said "Sorry Clement, you are not short listed by the company!" - U... urgh I smiled with disappointed feeling :(

Then, I started to motivate myself that perhaps it was already God's willing for me to work for "H" company. :)

Both company are good and they are international company. But if I am accepted at "P", it means it is the first job that related with my background of study... English. Plus, I will get a Laptop for operation and there will be opportunity for me to travel out of Jakarta and abroad which I was very excited.

But life does not always follow my wish. I must accept whatever happens in my life and go through it.

And I tried to review also. I realized my mistake. I was too excited of the job and felt that I must be accepted by the company because I was too good! - Over confident was my 1st mistake.

I learn that I must be very grateful of everything and really surrender all to Him. Do not be over confident.

Now, I am working for "H" company. Can I be successful?

I said my self: "If others can, I can also be successful."

On last fellowship we discussed a book "Under the Struggle" brought by Deacon Ishak, I learned that WORK HARDER (hard work) was very important to be successful. Even if we do not really interested with the job? Yes...
Sometimes in life, everything does not always match with our expectation. We must challenge ourself to struggle with this life.

There was a good example from the book. There was a man wanted to be a banker but he got rejected. Others told him that you would not be successful in banking. Then, the man did other thing that not many people wanted to do that this kind of job. He became a ceramic patcher (fixer). He took this job as challenge. After sometime, he became an expert and famous ceramic patcher. Then, when he met a man who rejected him to be a banker said that if at that time he were accepted in banking industry, he would be a successful banker because he got WORK HARDER attitude.

So, I must change my mindset. I must be successful in this job whatever it takes. I must focus and achieve a title of a Great Banker. Work Harder...
