Associate Foundation Program

Was on course Thurs and Fri - Some Foundation Program for Associates. Albeit a little of propaganda about how we, Gen-Y, are taking over and 'ought to be' the future leaders of the co, it was quite fun.

They played us the movie "Kungfu Panda". Even though I have watched it before, it's still nice to watch it all over again. We also did the MBTI personality test. I'm ISTJ which actually translates to Introvert, Sensing, Thinking and Judging.

Here's an extracted description of ISTJ:
Quiet, serious, earn success by thoroughness and dependability. Practical, matter-of-fact, realistic, and responsible. Decide logically what should be done and work toward it steadily, regardless of distractions. Take pleasure in making everything orderly and organized – their work, their home, their life. Value traditions and loyalty.

Researches say the highest percentage of S'pore managers fall into this category. During the course, can see that most of the colleagues there are quite ambitious and highly motivated individuals. They wanna go up the corporate ladder in the shortest time possible. This is something that I am still unable comprehend. I'm totally satisfied where I am and whatever comes my way, I'll embrace it. Otherwise, it's juz too bad lor. Why make life difficult and so stressful by getting embroiled in the rat race?

Guess this is my mentality. Used to want to top everything. Can't blame me for my competitive nature. Juz enjoy the feeling of winning and coming out top. This explains why I worked so hard in my Poly days. But when I get to Uni and see so many scholars, I know there is no chance of competing with them. Hence, I decided to be more laid back and enjoy my last schooling days in Uni. I dun need to be at the top anymore. Juz being contented will do :)

Life is short. Get the most out of it by being happy at the same time!

Going off at 3pm again tmr. Will head to the gym cos it's been raining almost everyday and I can't run after work. Then, I shall leave my shoe bag there since I'm going bk to work on Fri which is a PH. Life is good, be healthy :)
