1) of resumes

re-doing my resume is one of the activities that i dislike most. perhaps it has to do with the fact that i have to put myself to be such an excellent person whom, everyone wants to employ. while some people have so many things to put in their resume, i struggle with it for more than 3 hours, trying to hit the 2 page recommendation.

2) journey

however, in the process of doing the resume, i cannot but thank God for all the things that He has brought me through. from my secondary school education to smu, i know that His hand has always been there to guide me from point to point, even though at times when i truly desired to go to another institution, He always had the best for me.

3) future

many a times we want to know what is in store for us for the next 1, 3 or 5 years. we cannot help but think because those career consultants will make us feel so guilty about not planning for our future that we start to dream big dreams for ourselves. sometimes we get pressured by the people around us and we start to read self-help books like the 7 habits of highly effective people. yes it is true that beginning with the end in mind is something that is important. we then try to plan to do lots of work and toil, finding our glory in our work. but have you ever considered that the day that hard work was created was when God cursed the ground so that Adam had to work hard in order to get produce from the ground to feed himself and Eve?

direction has never been clearer to me whenever God reminds me of Matt 16:33. seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. (MOV)
