Attitude..

I went to see a researcher in Uniten today, which happened to be my junior in Uniten last time. I remembered him vividly because he was the one who worked hard during MPP campaign and very active first year student in Student Movement. I am glad that he excelled in his work and now tutoring younger students of Uniten. I even met the master's student who robbed my time for almost a week to help him with the data compilation. They stayed in the same room. A big one, like our Board Room. Three young researchers sharing one big room. All well and good, we finished the discussion and moved on. N wants to meet her friend next door so I followed. We were talking about home and family when suddenly work became the centre issues. She' was my senior (one semester senior) during undergraduate school and she happened to be one of the most brilliant student during that time. When it came to working she expressed herself as if she did not like what she do at the moment (teaching and researching) and doing it just because she has nothing else to do. A totally different picture of a person whom I looked high during my undergraduate and now, I do not know what to think of her anymore. I felt at that moment, I am better in terms of motivation to do my work than my two other friends while we were talking and I just shut my mouth and brain not to decipher anymore negative messages. I used to complaints a lot about salary and benefits that I got while doing all dirty jobs that no one else want to do. But it was over in just a few weeks because I regained composure and my obejctives of working. Now I understand why some poeple say 'If you want to be successful in whatever you do, choose your friends wisely'.

Makes sense, isn't it?
