Drive...

Drive is important. As humans grow older, they are more clear as to what they want and what they want to pursue... ranging from short term to long term goals. Everyone has something that they want to do, despite sometimes saying 'I don't know what I want in life.' I had, earlier... been in that situation too if you recall from my older posts. Even being confused and unclear; we all have that inner being that tells us what we really want... Lately, after returning back from Austin and settling in back to work here; I've been looking at people who work close to me... Interestingly, people with drive sure does make them stand out from from the pact. Even without knowing it; people shows flashes of strength and ability to what they do... I start to find driven people who has a goal to what they want to pursue regardless of outcome is attractive. A few of then lack this and take life as a joke. Why do they bother to go to work if all they do is fool around? They see me in deep thought and always ask me "Are you ok?" like i'm some workaholic yet all they do is goof around the office, surf around the net, flirt with the opposite sex, dun take responsibilities, and wait to get off with bare minimum hrs. I never knew that drive and having a goal (even a small one) is so important... well, until I see these mindless zombies at work just waiting to get paid. I hope I won't be like then, even during times of uncertainties >:p

Looks like something is bothering you at work. I ahve been in that situation before, Probably you should concentrate more on their positive side and as u r doing learn from their negatives. Thats the way I got out of it.

OMG are you trying to tell me you thought i was lazy while i worked with you? haha! its actually quite tough to find passion for work sometimes... especially when you feel some things are unfair at work, that's when you just do the bare minimum.. its the "why bother? ur not gonna get credit for it anyway." feeling. Especially if ur frustrated / not pleased with infrastructure or how things are done. It's why leadership is sooo important. Gotta encourage team mates and keep some common visions goals. hey u like cherries?

Yeah, despite they are not in my team; seeing them kinda makes me eye-yuen.... but oh well, i'm glad that my fire/aggresiveness/drive is back once again... Weeeee
