Stop asking Why Ask Why Not
I think I would like to share something with all of you that really touches my heart recently. Well, it maybe sound like my life or indeed is my life but would like to share out with all of you.
Many people came to me and ask me questions like why am I not appointed as one of the IC for the next few SIT events. There are also people who come up to me and ask me don't I feel sad when no one recognise me and my work. Well, there are people who come to me and tell me what I should do to fight for my own rights in SIT club. So guess now is the best time for me to explain and tell you why am I not doing what you guys told me to.
Firstly, there is no reason why you all have to feel shocked about me not being an ICs for the next few events because I believe in the Seniors that whatever they do, they do it for a reason, for a purpose. It may not be something we can come in terms with, but surely they know best for us. Allow those who were appointed to rise up and show their indepth potential, believe in them and summit to them. No one is a great leader unless he/she is a faithful follower.
Secondly, regarding my recognition in SIT club for the Freshmen Orientation 2006/07. I guess I don't need the whole world to know what I had done for my department. Many eyes out there can see. For something, I want to make it clear again. I had NEVER work alone in my department ever or at any other point of time. I had a group of OGLs with me. Stop assuming and thinking that I was always the one doing all and not splitting it up with others. They get their share of work, I promised. Since it's over, I think I should not bring it up any higher.
Thirdly, I believe there's no need for me to fight for the position for those coming events. Is well said by one senior that is really more of your attitude than your position. So what's the point of you getting to be an IC yet there's no commitments and good attitudes toward the job given, right? I rather be the one who work my best out in the place where I am and give it my best shot once and for all. Life greatest enemy is not trying your best when given the chance. Just want to conclude that only can a man/woman faithful to little, will he/she be able to be faithful to plenty.
Lastly, I would just like to share the real story where I learnt my lesson of asking why not instead of bugging on WHYs! As God had planned, one fine day He asked Jesus, "Are you willing to go to the earth as a human and die for them in a very terrible and painful ways?" Jesus answered, "Why not?" As Jesus knew His Father loves the World so much and He loves His Father, He is willing to lay down His life and obey Him. Jesus did not ask why. He did not question His Father too. He had taught me a lesson here. He obeyed and followed the authority and great things were done through Him ever since then.
So my challenge to all of you is stop asking why things had not gone the way you want it to be. Ask why not that this had happened. Trust in the authority that they had seen much more than us, so surely they are there to see us succeed and not fail. If only you open your heart to believe them again and not to doubt and ask why not. Give others a chance, cause as you give others the opportunity, your locked doors will be knocked open soon. Be patient and wait.
