Hard Work Paid Off?

(Working really hard at home)


About a month ago, I spent the whole of youth day holiday and burnt several nites of midnite oil to complete an assignment at work. I was thinking was all this hard work worth the effort? Or is it just going to be another complete waste of my precious time? Well, I got the answer 2 days back.

At the beginning of the workshop, I was still rather apprehensive about myinterpretation of the assignment given. Has I interpreted it correctly? Is it detailed enough? Can I defend my case? I was worried sick about some of the sections that were not done by me (as we divided up our portion to work on it) and how am I going to present it when I am not even convinced myself. My worry and fear was aggravated by the fact that I saw my other colleagues shot down flat by the consultant (who of course were supposed to help us).

My group presented last during the workshop. We were not even sure whether we get the chance to present. But I am so glad we did.

The hours spent on working on this assignment paid off. My work was given the thumbs up by both the consultants. I am so happy!!!

This is a defining moment to me. Haha... As I mentioned earlier that I really needed a booster in my work.. and I think this is it! I just needed the affirmation that I can do my job well. I needed it badly as I just switched my portfolio and was at quite a loss to what to do. Woah! This assignment allows me to tell myself the big YES, I can do it! Ha Ha Ha...

I am still on cloud 9. But for how long will this booster last? I really dont know. With so much changes happening in my workplace nowsaday, I really dont know. I just wish it will last for as long as I need it.
