get. it . done. and. carry on. with. your. life

 

 

  Ok imagine this,

You work at a beautiful lake. And like any worker, you have an employer. And one fine day, the boss asked you to make a field garden in the middle of the lake. And being a good employee you start to build it as ordered. It wasn’t easy. It was time consuming, to a point seemed impossible to be done. Surely a lot of blood sweat and tears we’re used of course. And apparently, on the other edge of the lake, it seems like a lot of other employee are doing the same thing. Just making sure the soil and stones are properly placed so it is as how the boss wanted it to be. Everyone had the same thing to do, but apparently some thinks its too hard, and decided to quit and do something else. Some thinks that maybe if they help that fella to get his garden done, that person will help me out too? Apparently some are willing , some are not.

 

And after a few years, its finally done. Laid out beautifully. A garden full of flowers and plants. Some employee thought that a barren land would be suffice with no proper gardening. Some decided to use other people’s crops for the job. And some just decided, its best to do everything as instructed, and also do something else more, for the sake of self satisfaction.

 

And of course, the day ended as the employer evaluates all the garden. Satisfactory or not, later on he gave one final instruction: now build a house that suits you on top of the garden, and you will live there for the rest of your life, if permissible, the land should be good enough and large enough to build a dream house. If not, then the person will have to do some extra works to build up more space and build more house

 

Im guessing this explains housemanship in a nutshell.

It was the period of starting a career. It wasn’t an easy one. We sacrifice a lot, some barely manage to survive, some cruised through it without any problem. And some manage to put extra effort for the future that is obviously uncertain.

After completing housemanship, you thought you could take a deep breath and rest as the toughest period of your life has ended. But little did we know, its actually the toughest period in the career ‘ so far’ . a lot of other things that needs to be planned and more obstacles needed to be overcome. And apparently all the hardship for the past 2 years plus seemed so little in comparison to what lies beyond. All the hardship to survive, was actually just to build a foundation for the future career.

Some managed to go through it alone. Some realised, that its actually better to go through with other people along the way to assist and motivate you accordingly. regardless, the better the foundation, the more confident we are to face the future.

 

I spent 8 months in orthopaedic department, and along the way, I see so many flaws that everyone had, regardless of the age, seniority, or rank. But some of them decided to keep it low, stay humble and work as needed. While others feed on their ego and hope to rise higher than the height of their ego. As for me, I just want to do my work for the patient, while hoping to be improve myself along the way, both professionally and personally

And for that, I have to give credits to the bosses and dear colleagues that were along the way with me throughout the past 8 months. 

 

“ who you know is better than what you know ‘

 

This is a saying that I believe will help me now and in the future. Yes, the journey and the destination during a trip is important, but as some may forget, that the company along the way plays a very important role as well. and honestly ive learned from people more than i learn from books. 

 

And for this, I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey. its good to know that there is always something to learn from people around you. From how they talk, how they react, and how they teach. But most importantly, is how they deal with unanticipated problems. I guess there always room to learn and improve as long as we don’t let our ego in the way.

 

I cant thank enough to everyone who has been there for me through my deepest fall into the pit, and the time where I was over the moon. Hopefully everything that I’ve encountered before this will be the constant reminder to be positive and strive forward to be better regardless of where I am after this.

 

So here it goes,

the real start of the journey,

despised by many,

 bismillah,

 

  

lets strive for a better future shall we? J
