Trust & responsibility
Dear Diarykinz...
I had a hard time waking up for svc this morning, must be e late night sleep and there i was thinking just to skip the svc and tell em that i overslept later. Afterall, i ready attended it yesterday but i don feel too good about doing this decision. Its the first svc that i'm gonna atttend together with my cg after the shift from expo and we already agreed that we'll be there together earlier for the seats and the svc so how could i back out like this just because of tiredness and laziness? I must also honour my words. A mental raging war soon began and I recalled a schoolwide bible sharing that anna did last year. It was on the topic of trust i think and she shared that when a person said ' Hey, trust me. No problem, i'll get it done.' The other party may reply,' Ok' but in their mind, they'll be thinking the otherwise or they'll just tell that person straight ,' Yea right...' and why is this so? The reason is simply because we'll tend to be thinking,' what if tt person forgot abt it? what if he or she failed to do it? what if it was just hastily done for the sake of completing it? what if..what if..' so most of the time one will choose to do it he or herself so as to have the assurance that e matter will be seen through, it'll be done to the best and turn out the way that it was wanted to be like.
You might be wondering now that why do i bring this up, what has it got to do with my decision to go for svc today. Let me just explain to you now.
Ok, firstly i was thankful that kelvin and yanlin were the main ones booking seats today but we should all be there earlier also as its the first wk svc at expo, a lot of things were still unsettled and unsured of. Plus a few of e members were either away or serving, so that would make the cg available manpower even lesser. How could i be MIA at this point of time?
Secondly, what if i was the one that was suppose to be booking seats today? Do i just not be there because i wanna sleep more or just don feel like going? If i decided not to go on e day itself just because of tiredness, laziness or reluctancy and inform em e v last min or worst, just don say anything until they come asking, wouldn't that be very irresponsible and unaccountable of me to the rest. What if they couldn't get enough gd seats? Its unfair to em also as they have entrusted me with this task because they trusted me to do it. You may think that is not a big deal but i think that it is important as it'll affect us someway. Imagine this, wat if you're in your frenz shoes and e person you've entrusted task with failed, how will you feel and think? I betcha know wat i'm talking abt yea. If you don want the others to do e same thing to you, then don't do it to em in e first place. Treat others e way you want to be treated!
Trust and responsibility are being build up slowly with our life-happening events. You must prove youself to earn it! If one couldn't even get a simple thing right, how could he or she expect others to let em handle heavier task and wouldn't he or she remains as the same and won't be able to 'grow'? If you've 'failed' once or a few times, will e others still trust you completely again? The answer is mostly like not.
Therefore, we should keep our words and put in our best effort in the things entrusted to us so that others will fell safe letting as handling it, knowing that we're trustworthy,responsible and accountable people. In this way, relationship can also be build and strenghten. And the next time round when you tell em,' trust me.' They won reply with a' yea, right.' Lol
Booking seats and helping out are what i could do for e cg and i wanna be a contributor and not just a beneficiary only. Must start from simple things like that first then slowly build up..lol
Hope that this is not too complicated or luan for you to get what i was trying to say but hey, since when we homo sapien ain't complicated hur? =P
