Some Quotes

“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts” by Eleanor Roosevelt

How are your feelings to start the new year?

Are you agree with the quote?

We can grateful enough when we can still wake up and see the sky, whichever its color is, and breath, especially every Jan 1.

You can give whatever you want to call it such, blessings, opportunities, chances or others. One for sure, the day on Jan 1 is just another day to start over again. We start a new month and we hope we still have another eleven months to go by our own.

You may have a complicated-mixed up feelings to start but, yeah, this is a cliché, you have to try to live the day. At least you have to give the day on Jan 1 a chance to lift you up to live.

“Each day provides its own gifts” by Marcus Aurelius

That’s the point, after all, life always give us something to take. We live the day, wrap it up every night, and wish to have another day.

Some gifts can be so much surprising that can bring our emotional out of control. Some also can be predicted by our own senses. Whatever it is, there’s always something that we can bring to wrap-up every night, for us to reconcile with ourselves.

No other word can describe her feeling except, tired.

Yes, she is. 

Almost five months she has been struggling her own feeling at office, struggling with her colleagues, persons that spend more than 10 hours a day with her. It has been such a tiring feeling.

It started when her team member – her trusted colleague, friend, and subordinate – decided to resign and going to leave her with a group of people that not cooperative enough; group of people that full of fake and hypocrites. When she found out that her colleague will leave, her feeling was chaos and so stressful, not only she has to stand out alone now but she also has join the Company less than a year, so her knowledge is not that much. She worried how to work and keep the balance in the office; because she knew every single little things will come to her and she felt not ready and well prepared. She trusted her colleague that much until she felt so down with this decision. Her mood changed with very easy and it was very hard to keep smile on her face.

Since she joined the Company, she tried to keep the balance in the office with her colleague, tried to solve every problems that came together and never leave each other. So, yes, this decision worried her that much. Worried that she couldn’t handle all, worried that she is not able enough to take care the balance between work and social life. She felt lame and unstable. So little time to catch up and learn everything, she was worried her head couldn’t handle that much.

Then, during this unstable and moody feeling, this sensitive man came to complete her chaos feeling. He felt that she was so arrogant and fake to gave smile to everyone, especially to him every morning greetings. He was sensitive and felt that she didn’t want to be friend or work with him at used to; due to she never gave proper morning greetings – she only smiled and sometimes walk away, never gave him morning greetings in return. He, ever since never say any greetings nor hello and gave arrogant attitudes such silence and never look in the eyes while talking. He just walked away and never gave same warm-hearted attitudes anymore her, though mediation and communication way has been taken by both of them – helped by another colleague who wanted to help to make the situation melted. But some hearts just keep froze and stay still. 

She cried silently, not knowing what actually the problems. She felt really lonely now. Losing colleagues that she knew and trusted will keep the balance together.

New guy came and tried to be her new colleague. Unfortunately, he didn’t have same mission and vision to achieve the goal. She struggle enough to lead and teach him, yet he was a stubborn person and has his own mindset. That’s a difficult thing to do for her, since each Office rules and standards that she told was bounced back by him because he has his own priorities and principles. Argue and emotions were inevitable. She tried to talked and communicate with him privately and still no changes yet. So tried to talk to her Seniors and Managers. They asked her to wait during his probation period and tried to cooperate more with him. 

Time came to decide whether he continued to be her team member or not. This is actually also another struggling feelings for her. One side she needs a member to support the operational of the office, while the other side, the new guy couldn’t cooperate well enough for support. After many advices from Seniors she decided to works alone for temporary until they found the right person instead. 

There she goes, work by herself to complete all the stages. Accuracy has to be maintained while demanding instructions, orders, and reports just can’t be stopped. She couldn’t hold her head for even a minute, she has to force her whole body and mind to stay as one piece. While the other side, there are always still uncooperative and unrespect colleagues. This situation was just some that she couldn’t managed or controlled.

 

When just she felt her feelings were almost burst out, there came a gentleman that pay attention to her lately and cared enough to hold her. That night he gave her bunches of daisies. Mini daisies, with two different colors; orange and purple. He whispered, “To bring colors to your days“. She remembered precisely that the gentleman came in early November and she full of tears in sudden knowing that her feeling was so fragile. Maybe he came like an angel to tell her not to giving up by these tiring feelings and life dramas – more likely an office dramas. One bunches of daisies enough to remind her all the dramas are just dramas and life is just not complete without dramas. It’s okay to have dramas but remember to stay live and move on.

One month to December and there’s daisies in November.

Love – Care – Share

February always comes up with love matters. People never get bored talking about love with their own ways. In fact, does anyone understand the meaning of the word itself?

Love, for me, is abstract and too wide, cannot describe with single word or sentence. Love, for me, maybe is about action(s) with pure good intention.

Life gives me lessons and now I keep telling myself that “Love” is a sacred word, which will not means anything if we don’t do any actions for it. It’s just a single word with empty feeling and meaning if we don’t understand how to fill it.

It will be so much better if we put the following words to it, such Care and Share. If we love someone or something, we basically will care to her/him/it, and then we will share the positivity of caring to others.

For example, if we able to say that we love our precious camera, we will care for it. We will clean it every time we used it and will put it in the proper place. We will use it properly and share the photos from the camera; we will share the art of it. People will see the positivity or good from it. The photos came from the camera that had taken good care by us.

If we love our pet, we will care our pet. We will feed, wash, shelter, and comfort them. People around us will see that our pet is taken good care by us, and by that we have share the love to our pet.

And it will be the same if we love our mate; girlfriend or boyfriend. We will care for them by let the good feelings grow and never let them feel alone. By showing the caring things to our mate, we have share the world the positivity and people surround us will see the good things have happened.

People sometimes act based on some events, how if you do the care and share things every day?

I think, you will feel the Valentine every day.

Do not limit your actions of showing love, and the important thing, do not expect too much in return.

Trust me, high expectation will put you on high risk, and if we are talking about love, it will hurt you so bad if your expectation is not even equal with yours.

My little cliché advice are, do everything with good and pure intention, and really, you have to try not to expect in return that much.

Remember, add Care and Share to your Love and world will give you more.
