Taking the First Step



Miscommunications.

Misunderstandings.

Sometimes, I wonder if I am at fault more at fault than the other party. Well, recent events had made me think a lot. Eventually, I realise that to break the ice, someone has to make the first move, whether that individual is solely at fault or not. Besides, misunderstandings and miscommunications take two or more to happen. Taking the first step does not neccessarily mean "I am wrong", but, it is the step to improve things.

I was very angry at some people at work. I admit that I was at fault too but I was so emotionally overwhelmed that I could not think rationally. The recent incidents also made me realise that I am quite a scary monster when I am angry.

Looking at the bigger picture, we are still seeing one another almost everyday at work, it is really unhealthy to be working in an unfriendly environment. Furthermore, I am not one who can habour anger very long. I do not want my friends to be asked the question "Is Yen still angry with me?" and then start a long session of complaint why I should not be angry with them. It is very cruel of me that my fellow colleagues and friends have to suffer in silence because of my own affairs.

Eventually, after giving loads of thoughts, I made the first step to apologize or break the ice with the people involved in the misunderstanding or miscommunication.

Misunderstandings and miscommunications have to be resolved as soon as possible, be it at work or at home. Such things are scary and can lead to detrimental effects. With so much ill feelings around, immoral people will seize the chance to worse the situation in order to gain an advantage. Scary, scary,scary... ...

I know what it is like if there are much bad feelings among co-workers. Some negative feelings towards some is unavoidable, but, it will be good to minimize as much as possible. At least, be professional - talk when there is a need.

Still, I must say that I am surprised that those around me found me scary when I am angry. Hahahahahaha ..... ......... Scary!!! Hahahahahah ...... ..... Good, this shows that I have some temper too!!! Hahahahahaha ....
