V for Versatility.

It's a Saturday afternoon. Thought of going out for some shopping or movie or walkabout, but due to the rainy weather, I'm just staying put at home for now. No tuitions whatever. 3 assignments to rush, including 2 end-of-course assessments, and I still don't intend to look at them today. How wonderful.

Went for 4 appointments in total this week. Postponed one to next, if not would have 5! Gosh, it's pretty tiring having to travel to meet clients. But thankfully for my car. Speaking of which, it gets frustrating when you get lost on the roads, having to watch out for traffic and direction at the same time, you know? And I hate the feeling of getting lost out there and having to drive around and around to look for the particular location. But well, all these are good training. I definitely think I have a better orientation of the directions now. :)

I guess the thing about meeting managers, directors, or whoever is that there is a certain amount of pressure. Presentation of project idea is one thing, but worrying about 'screwing things up' is another thing. For me though, I have sorta managed to 'psych' any emotional level to a low during such meetings, to keep a 'distance', to UP my professionalism. I think it is very important to be able to reduce any emotional baggage. Especially in the sales/service line, emotional labour can be very high. As I do know myself very well, I know I used to be easily affected by people's rude remarks or upfront confrontations. Now, I will just laugh my way off if I encounter any.

This must be "self-psychology" at its best. Being able to think out of stressful situations and not get yourself emotionally involved. I definitely know it's easier said than done. For my case, I'm definitely someone who likes constant challenges and then trounce every obstacle that tries to belittle me.

I guess having been through many experiences so far helped. Those previous job experiences and other forms of encounters - they do shape my perspectives now.

And at the end of the day, I really believe that the best 'asset' anyone could have is to have an OPEN mind.

And yes, the trick is knowing when to be 'open' and when to be reserved - aka versatility.

I can choose who I want to be, how I want to be, when I want to be.

Gosh. That seriously makes me think that I am all cut out to be an actor. Then again, I'll leave that thought for now. Hahaha.
