Thanks Pa!

Earlier on today I felt like coming to blogspot just to write one thing:
FAILURE.

Fortunately though, I decided to give my dad a call since he's been complaining I havent called him in about a month... :S (Not entirely my fault!! I called a couple of times but he was never home... ><)
so i did just that. and im glad i did.

Dad had a point.

See, I told myself I couldn't do this job because of a number of reasons:
1) I'm going into 3rd year. I shouldnt be spending so much time on this
2) I have a part time job which already takes up so much time!
3) I still haven't finished my work experience!!
4) I don't have the leadership and communication skills. I can take instructions but I can't give instructions. I tend to want to do everything myself.

Well...
Sometime in my life I will have to be a leader instead of a follower. Even as a pharmacist. I mean, don't we have pharmacist assistants? What if i open my own pharmacy? Somehow or rather I will have to lead.
Later on in life, there's little chance for us to make mistakes and learn from that. What better time to learn than NOW when we're students, and best of all, running a student society where mistakes are manageable.

At one point in time I considered being the president because
1) i had ideas
2) i wanted to push myself, and do something out of my box.

Now i have the chance- why not grab it?

I guess I have been a bit doubtful over the whole 'taking over MySA' thing because I'm currently piled on with the assignment and tests that I have not yet studied for. Morever, even before the holidays started I was already worrying about having too many hours of work, and finding time to concentrate on studying for the tests. I was doubting my ability to effeciently juggle my time. I guess deep inside I wanted to show I couldn't do it and thus I could not figure out what steps I have to take to get things started, eventually pushing all the responsibility to someone else.

When you think you can't do something- you can't do something.

So far I've been pretty good at 'thinking I can' and getting things done. So why stop now?

Maybe I just need some time to clear my head, and stop worrying and everything will be fine. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Moreover, as my dad pointed out, being president of the society just means its your job to delegate tasks, and be a leader. You need to understand your aims, and objectives and lead the committee to achieve your goals. You have a job to do, just as any other committee member. No one person is meant to have more work to do than others. I guess...

So perhaps in the end of the day I might just stick with being the MySA president and give up the welfare officer job to someone else...

(I Hope to god I would not regret posting this...)
