Additional Tasks

Our head of HR is resigning and the President asked me to be the Acting Head while waiting for the new Head to be recruited.

I was, of course, reluctant, to take up the responsibilities. I am quite new to the department and there are a lot of things that I am still trying to get myself familiarize with. I am not even well-versed with some of the procedures. Lagipun HR is not a very favourable department and from what I can see, the staff has a somewhat negative impression about the department.

But then, I don't have a choice. The top management still insisted that be the Acting Head jugak. They promised that they will try to recruit the new Head ASAP. I really hope so because I just have a feeling that it's going to be tough on me. Banyak sangat issues that we have to address:- the integration, salary review, disgruntled employees, etc, etc.

I just have a feeling that I'm going to be extremely busy after this. Even my own tasks are already a lot. Now have to cover for the Head. What to do...

The Shark Story

As I was browing through the internet, I came across this story which, I find to be inspiring and motivating. It's about challenges and how we overcome them to become a better person. So, here goes:

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever.

The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh.The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats.They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price.

So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?

How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh:
To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged.

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired & dull, so we need a Shark in our life to keep us awake and moving? Basically in our lives Sharks are new challenges to keep us active and taste better... The more intelligent, persistent and competent you are, the more you enjoy a challenge.

"If your challenges are the correct size, and if you are steadily conquering those challenges, you are Conqueror. You think of your challenges and get energized. You are excited to try new solutions. "

I Wonder ....

Sometimes I wonder what is my purpose of living. I have been asking this question for so many years now and to be honest, I haven't found the answer yet.

I wonder what I have achieved so far. What will people remember about me when I am no longer around? Will my daughter remember me as the best mom that anybody can ask for? Will my husband remember me as the most loving wife any husband can dream about? Will my employer remember me as the model employee any employer can ever choose? Will my mother remember me as the obedient daughter that any parent can hope to have? Will my brothers and sister remember me as the reliable sister that any sibling can wish for? I don't know whether I will ever find the answers to my questions... but striving towards becoming one I will.... even though I know very well that nobody is perfect.
