Stabbed

not literal, but at work... gosh... 1st "injury" even b4 i really step into the working world. when your colleagues think tt u r a threat to them, they'll try all they can to stab u in the back, esp if they have some backing.

u see, i din do anything to harm anyone, but my presence there at the factory is threatening to those who dun have substance in their work & v conveniently cheat in readings to achieve the results tt the customers require. being a student, i m inquisitive towards how things r run at the factory, so obviously i would b talking to pple & asking qns. my assailant went to tell his good pal, my supervisor, tt i din do any work, & always talking... of cos i m always talking cos my sup din even give me any job scope, so i had to talk to pple to find out stuff & to find for myself my project for IA. also, he wasn't happy tt i was resistant to his "commands"... c'mon, he's only a chemist, not my sup, yet when he needs me to help him, he treats me like a general worker & orders me to do a general worker's job. of cos i dun need to heed his orders, tt's y he backstabbed me. i meant, c'mon, if u r not my sup, & u want me help, u dun order me ard but u would ask/request for my help, i'll b more than happy to help if i can. but not if i was ordered ard.

i think my sup knows it, cos after he "lectured" me, he told me to help as a chemist. well, since he tells me to be kinda asst chemist, den of cos i'll b glad to help.

just wanna share this w u guys, cos i hope to prepare u guys for work. the world out there only see power & money. nothing else. no ethics, no morals, no standards, just do anything to climb up the ladder or to survive. for me as Christians, i was ashamed to say i was reminded of the Lord by a Buddhist. i was still sored from the backstabbing when this old Buddhist man mentioned tt there is Someone above watching. immediately, i remembered the Lord. He was betrayed, crucified sinless, humiliated & suffered. if He could endure all tt for the glory of God the Father, why can't i endure the backstabbing in Christ for the glory of God?

i guess after saying all these, our source of strength to lead a Christ-like life in the working world has to be Christ alone. we have to keep our walk with God even closer when we begin to work, & have our eyes fixed only on Him, so tt the temptation of money & power, & the disruptions from office politics will not take toll in our lives.

do continue to pray for me as i look forward to ending my IA in 3 mths time... :)
