It has been a wild 2 months to say the very least. While I am contented with where I am right now, I know that what I have right now did not come easy. I always believe that my life thus far has always humbled me as a person. I am such a living embodiment of "一分耕耘，一份收获" and I have never doubted that. In fact, time and time again, different experiences that I went through forced me to face this reality. If I ever get to taste any level of success, it would require buckets of hardwork, tears, and sweat. In hindsight, the only thing I would have wanted to improve on is having proper time management so I do not need to completely squeeze myself dry of exercising and socialising with friends.

This week is my last week in EI and it is the week I managed to receive feedback from the people whom I worked with. And of course, there was a mix of "you did well in..." and "what could have been better is...". I was genuinely touched by some of the feedback, but they just fuelled my motivation to want to be better and strive better at value-adding more to the team and of course, to the broader purpose and impact our organization stands for. 

I am excited to start as a full-time analyst and embark on this journey of self-development. There are so many things I do not understand and know yet. But, I hope to figure things out while I am at this pivotal stage of my life. I came so long and so far. Right now, I am really reaching the end of my 16 years of education. Of course, learning will never stop - it cannot stop and must not stop for me. The better I get at what I do, the more in depth I know what I know, the more beneficial it will be for you, Earth. For that, I will go faster, do more, and protect as much as I can.

I hope one day, I can look back and truly say that I have done what I can, given what I have. I hope the clients I support would be empowered to do the right things for our shared land. I hope I would be able to go at full throttle with the support of my loved ones, especially cw. But for now, I know I need get over the immediate tasks. As much as I would want to procrastinate, I know there are things that need to be done and I need to just get through this.

There are plenty of things to do so I will get started now!

Rookie for life,
