POSITIVE CHARGE

I have met a lot of people in my life.

And recently, I've met someone who is so interesting and whom I've grown super fond of because when I am around her, I feel the positive energy churning, and that is a great energy to be around.

In an environment filled with work stress, it is hard to find people who are positive around you. Most people are so drawn towards negativity and they drag you together with them. At the end, all the happiness that you once had is sucked away by this pithole.

Before you start work, you are this beautiful white wall, gleaming and shining bright, protected by a layer of glass, safely kept at home.

But once you start to work, it is like you have moved yourself on the street, and you are open/subjected to all sorts of 'distortion' in the form of critics and judgments, which cause insecurities and fear. If your layer of glass is not strong enough, it could be shattered into pieces and your wall will be 'scarred'. And it doesn't help when we too smashes our own layer of glass when we short-change ourselves and blame ourselves for mistakes that could, or could not be our fault.

Of course, once in a while, you get one or two graffitis, which makes your wall prettier.

But it is those red tormenting paints that destroy your value. 

This friend/colleague of mine has the thickest layer of glass ever, because it seems like there is nothing in this world that can bring her down. She laughs about everything - and that is the sweetest and cutest thing about her.

When she laughs, to be frank, it makes my day.

And looking at her made me realised the importance of optimism. She is so positive and optimistic about everything and you feel so good hanging around her.

Just few days back, she was shouted at by one of my bosses for talking too loud. And she laughed about it.

She was scolded for not understanding a financial term - and she told us that it is not my fault (while giggling).

How beautiful...because it is true, and she wouldn't accept something that isn't her fault! I love that about her. Other people (me) would have felt so low and feel so stupid for not knowing something that others think I should know.

People like her will learn a lot and go a long way. They see things different.

I believe she sees beauty in everything. 

Most people only see the negative in all the situations. Me for instance....nothing that comes my way can be positive anymore. Because everyone around me have only negative vibes. Everyday, all we hear is how stress we are, how much work we have, how the people we deal with are idiots...why don't we have enough $$ hahahaha....

I'm very glad that we have a new addition that brings a different flavour to the team.

I think we have hope to be a cheerful crowd again - to laugh happily again.

When I was in college, all our stressful assignments were dealt with only laughter (and maybe lack of sleep). We had no complaints because till this day, we enjoyed our 5 days straight of back to back work...:)

We love it because we had crazy fun; we worked hard but we don't take things too seriously.

Today, this can't be done. If we fool around, there will be groups of people who thinks we are messing around. We need to wear this mask to cover up who we really are, again just because other people will perceive us. Seriously, all these are crap!  Just because we are a barrel of laughter, it doesn't mean that we don't take our job seriously.

I am positive that things will be better soon.

Because we now have a battery that is of 'positive' charge and if I generate some positive charge, hopefully, the office will be charged up to a positive frequency - well at least a neutral one.

I shall continue to be a nutty head, with my new found friend and with the return of another nuthead!

Every word that she say is a fresh breath of air to all the negativity that surrounds me - and I truly appreciate that. Because of her, things were bearable. When I am relax, my brains are less tangled and naturally, I can think better.  


Love,
