Comparing is a human instinct. It's an insecurity that's hard to ignore. It's not really a sin per se, but will make you feel bad if continued. It's okay to compare things like what the other bought and whats good and what not. Places like where to go and compare branches so you would know which one is cleaner or better. People? Not so much or I hope not.
My face yesterday eating the Tiramisu crispy waffle from Las Vegas my parents got me. (Yes, I posted a picture of myself to show how huge my pores are, eyebrows that never fixed and how dry my lips too. I contradicted myself about those IG annoying post. But hey, I'm not a celebrity nor defending what I bought and doing drugs. I just want my waffle.)
Every morning, when I'm early to work, I listen to 'Tell me something good' segment in 102.7 Kiis Fm. Everyday, they have a quote. Today's "Don't compare your Chapter 1 to Others Chapter 20." I'm so happy about that quote. It hits me. It should hit everybody. Not only regarding career but in school, relationship and much more. It's not the same with what you're going through with them. There might be some similarities but never 100% same.
And for the teachers, trainers, tutors and who ever that is helping someone do something, have a little more patience. Understand the situation of your student. You can see if we are trying our best or not. Then that's the time you can be upset. But if we are just starting and we didn't get something right away? Relax. Give us time to absorb as much as we can and we can try again. We will try again. It's not a race, it's a learning process. It's a Journey.
Don't expect us to be as fast as you. We're just starting and you're already an expert.
This was me at my new job. Today is my one month and I'm not even sure if they will absorb me. There are parts I excel, but not all of them. And of course, for the job that I have, I need to know all parts. In my defense, I'm only here for ONE month. And I learned three program softwares. Dude, give me a break. I hope they know I'm trying my best because I am and I really like what I'm doing. It's a challenge and I am learning a lot. I want to do this and continue. But please, bear with me. I'm like a baby crawling that will and have mistakes. Not really mistakes but more like spilling a cup without me even knowing. My previous mistakes were not a big deal, actually it is. Uhm, it's like if I do it right then good. But, since I didn't exactly do it right even though I didn't know I was doing it wrong, I felt so stupid. I'm sorry. Again, I'm learning. That was the other day.
While yesterday, I was told to slow down. To take my time understanding. I guess that's what I'll do. I hope and try my best to be better. I will not quit this chapter.
