Reliance

The theme of the week seems to be on reliance. While I am not that outstanding or efficient a worker, I realised that I should rely on anybody on a minimum, ideally nil. Too many times I got disappointed when I expect things to turn out great. Perhaps I simply took things for granted that it would go well, and nothing bad should happen when I leave things be. But no, Murphy prevailed. "Unforseen circumstances" arise, and put me in a worse position when I previously was. Now I learn my lesson. While it is stubborn to blindly stick to the original plans, I should have the discipline to follow through what I had sought to do. Being too flexible with plans is not a good thing; what offers that come my way, may not always be for the good of me. Advice, favour, recognition and assistance are not always good to receive. All that glitters is not gold, just as all that is gold does not glitter.

P.S. I am a gold seeker no doubt, but I shall not run madly into a gold rush. Hopefully my patience pays off(with a rough cut diamond that no one else discovered).
