Precept

Renessa, in one of our brief encounters, shared an anecdote about her co-worker in one of Manila's public hospitals. The co-worker was an honor graduate from the state university and became a placer in the board exams. With these in her stead, this co-worker of hers is expected to be working in a hospital of her own liking.  She took the exam in PGH where they are currently working and for the first time in her life, she failed the qualifying exam. When asked about it, she said:

"Hindi naman pwede lagi kang pumapasa, may mga times na babagsak ka rin"

This is one of the anecdotes that I hold on to firmly when I feel down about work. I recently moved to a different company where my numbers are totally opposite from the previous company I worked for. Hindi naman pwede lagi ka pumapasa. Hindi naman pwede lagi kang magaling. 

As I was on my way to work several days ago, a thought came to my mind. It was about an eagle. That even though an eagle's nature is to fly, an eaglet with its immature physiology will have a rough time doing so. You don't learn everything in an instant. It takes time and countless attempts to get familiarized and get the hang of it.I guess that's what I need to do, give myself time to learn and accept my limits.
