A ray of hope

Just sitting here, thinking about the beautiful moments we had last Sunday, missing my fiancé, I watched the storm move over the lofts across the street. Lightning was striking behind the houses, and like the gloomy skies, this sad feeling struck in my mind. My fiancé left to Cheng du for his latest business trip on Sunday (just a week exactly after our engagement). I felt so void suddenly. But the thought of him doing well in his career is worth the sacrifice.

Here I was, almost in confused state of mind for the upcoming scientific advisory committee meeting. For all of the troubles and shortcomings my team experienced for the past 6 months made us stronger. Although we are firing up our asses in short time to come up with some substantial outcome for the embarked genome project, the outcome of it is fulfilling. Being a research scientist in private profitable organization, the research we are working on is not all about benefits to the scientific communities, and bringing about an optimistic change for the world but also for the value and profit making for the company as well. We had been brainstorming with our consultants trying to figure out the alternative plan A, B, C, etc etc etc versions of what my work might be and ready to kick myself if I didn’t make it happen. How could I have been so critical?

When it comes to work, my fiancé talks about his worries about our future, I’m so quick to remind him that God has a plan or inspire him about timing and patience of what God has ahead of us. He will relent to me and keep his spirits high by working his way up the career ladder. Truthfully, his knowledge and dedication did well for him. All by God’s grace. It took all my guts and faith in his potential which keeps him going.

As I thought about after rain effect, the colors that paint the sky is so beautiful, and that’s the first ray peeking through giving a new hope of life. I would want to be the woman behind his success and him behind my success as well. I can’t wait for you to come back Hun and establishing the framework for our big day! Lots of excitement coming up soon.

Amidst the uncertain events that happen around the world, one can be forgiven to think of the future as doom and gloom. But there is still a ray of hope for each one of us and that will see us through difficult times, no matter how bad they may turn out to be.

That ray of hope is your personal attitude of life. It will guide you through thicks and thins of life. It’s a must have in order to have a successful and prosperous life. To me it’s the key that opens your mind and heart to better job performance, and an enriching career.
A positive attitude is important to your social status, your health, your work, the way you challenge obstacles, and the kind of people you attract to your life. A positive attitude will bring more positive opportunities into your life. In a world that revolves around who you know, a winning attitude can make you a star in your social network and net you the opportunity of a lifetime. It attracts successful people who share the same goals.
So what can a positive attitude get you? Positive opportunities which come from your social network, superior health, great success when challenged, and it can make you fun to be around so that more people want to be with you.
Whatever happens, be proactive and take charge of your belief and attitude. Only YOU have the power to make those changes within yourself.
