Dead Ends

INTRICT this week taught us something new, something we don't come across everyday. For me, I think it taught us the value of hardwork, which I think is essential for IT professionals because as we climb the corporate ladder, we must face challenges of deadlines as well as tough working schedules. Hardwork, I think, is a thing often misunderstood by many, we always come across a person that says "I work hard", but the question is, what qualifies as hard work?. For me, our performance is measured simply by our conscience, therefore we actually cannot tell if we worked hard or not. Hard work is produced when the distinctive balance between planning and realization is achieved, it is a balance that seems so simple yet overlooked by many. Whenever a person creates an impression of himself that he is a hard worker, I realize that he is just making a dead end in his life, simply because by simply judging his own performance only on the realization part, he creates an imaginary boundary on what the future can, and will still hold for him.
INTRICT this week made us realize:

• The value of hardwork: The satisfaction that you get for a job done creates peacefulness that we achieved something for ourselves.
• Standing still: Failures define who we are, moreover how we face them dictates what will happen to us in the future.
