The rabbit and the turtle

Was it the proud tortoise who went around boasting about her extremely fast legs without realising that the rabbits around her was laughing behind her? Was it the ignorance of the tortoise or she is just faking it to make herself feel better? Or is it ingrained into her hard shell that she is inpenetrable to any attacks on all fronts? was it...? oh no it isn't...this is a story to be said another day, another time.

It's about the fable of the rabbit bragging about how he is the fastest runner and was challenged by the turtle to a race. Of course, you know it. The rabbit won in the end. no wait, that's the second race. The first one was won by the turtle cos the rabbit was over-confident.

Slow and steady wins the race.

I was thrown straight into the job of Shift Duty Manager to learn from my old irritating, impatient and temperamental SDM right on my first day back to work after 3weeks away from work. The slow reaction to matters and the need to think things through, remember all the nitty gritty details and constant nagging from the SDM certainly didnt make it easy. One more night shift tonight to learn the ropes from the current SDM as much as possible before i am fully ON MY OWN next week as the current SDM is going for his in camp training. I have to be steady but i can't be slow! Since my boss have the confidence in me by throwing me into the sea to swim on my own. I need to do GOOD. Climb, climb and climb higher.

The last burst to the end of 2008! Run and run all the way to the end!
