I thought I was good. They made me think that I was good.
After 8 years in a public-listed company, I survived 4 promotions and my appraisals had always been on the high side. I was efficient and a fast learner. I could do multiple tasks given to me in no sweat. Everybody listened to my suggestions, welcomed my ideas, implemented my strategies and in short, I could go anywhere and people knew me.
Then I thought I needed the change. Things were not as challenging anymore.
So…here I am. In a big multinational company.
And I am no one here.
I know only 1/10th of what they were talking about. No matter how early I come in, they are always in the office already. These people seem to know everything under the sun on IT. I realise that I'm not so good after all. I realise that I know nuts compared to most of these people.
And no one knows me.
Dear Allah..let me just survive 2 years here.
Here goes another week of complete clueless………

dear mummy, get out of a mental of rut, think new thoughts, acquire new visions and discover new ambitions. Then... increase ur popularity, ur prestige and ur ability to get things done.I know and really sure, ur can do it. Remember the magic word, "ENTHUSIASM". lets enthusiastic be with u all the way. now like u're the only torn among the roses, but the torn looks like orchids pulak!kuang-kuang-kuang!!
so... its time for bonda yong tau foo. not easy to become a junior after u left the seniority. I bet u're drinking mocca chino after this!
Talking from experience, you'll get over this clueless period and be in control again... with your life, your work and your surrounding. We'll always get this I-don't-know-enough feeling when we're in new environment.
thanks to both anonymous. really make me want to go out there and "do it"!
