You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Being positive and its complications / Sunday, October 28, 2007 @ 4:29 PM
This quiz was sent to me by Nurul dearie, although I am wondering where she has the time to do this quiz in the madness of finishing her papers and assignments. I remember doing a test similar to this a few years back so the results were not that all suprising to me.
Interestingly, I do not remember being leading people too often when I was younger. A late developer? Perhaps.
I also hope that no one is too scared of me and my positive outlook. Haha! I guess after experiencing being in the deepest valley, I truly appreciate the beauty of the highest mountain. By nature, and I mean by being part of the Britt system, being and staying positive on a daily basis comes naturally. I dont have to try too hard and whenever there is a challenge working with someone, I either:
1. See if I can negotiate with that person
2. Pull myself out of the project / work
I rarely find myself doing (2) because most of the time, I can somehow get along and work together with that someone. My mentors often remind me, choose to work with the easy people. Even if the most difficult person is the smartest person, working together will be a challenge. Therefore, if I really cannot work with that person, I will most likely pull myself out, not because I am trying to make a stand, but to prevent making my life too miserable. I am sure you know what I mean;) So if you are not satisfied with me for whatever reason, it is not my problem, you need to learn to cope like how I am coping. This is life, its not a bed of roses-- at least for now.
Let me reveal how one phonecall disrupted my thought process on Friday.
I received a phonecall from Eleanor, a PSB officer who sent out the email to all SNOs regarding the setting up the CPD team. I was surprised of course, considering that I clicked NO when asked if I would volunteer myself to sit in the CPD team. Basically this team will be responsible in planning for the professional development of all SNOs. Apart from the SNOs, 2 PSB officer aka education psychologists will also sit in the same committee. It is a big responsibility, I thought and I certainly hope whoever who will be sitting in the CPD team will be the dependable person that everyone can count on.
Apparently, she called because I had one of the most nominations and since I did not nominate myself, she was calling in to check if anything was wrong.
My reaction? I laughed!
She would not reveal how many people voted (even after much persuasion) and she went on to say that it was not just the number of nominations, it was also due to some stories that others (who??!!) had shared with them. I remembered telling Jamie jokingly that I do not believe in nominating myself so if PSB wants me to sit in this team, they have to call me personally and invite me in.
And so it happened. They called me. I am still shocked.
So now, there is no reason / excuse not to sit in, since they have called me personally asking me to sit it. She also revealed that there are only 4 SNOs and 2 PSB officers in the team. My reaction was, ONLY 4 SNOs?? I am one of them??
This also meant that even if someone voluntarily nominate themselves in, they also have to have a significant amount of votes to be able to qualify. My concern is, what happens to those who clicked yes and were not selected?
As I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago, I really want to focus 100% on the business and I am trying my best to minimise all the distractions. Even though I am honoured that so many people actually trust me enough to do this, I do wonder if I can make the right decisions and contribute to the team. What I do know is, the decisions that the team will make is important to all SNOs, current and future so I think the best thing to do right now is:
1. Calm down
2. Think of a way to deliver this news to Samina

Being positive and its complications
Noi, your position as eldest child shows most strongly in your self-esteem.
Similar to other eldest children, you are probably in tune with who you are and what you want.
You are conscious of your limitations but you are more aware of your positive qualities. Being the eldest child put you in a leadership role. To sustain this position, you learned at a young age how to leverage your positive qualities, or things you were better at than your younger siblings, to your advantage. This natural, though possibly unconscious, insight into your own personality enabled you to obtain whatever you set your sights on. People tend to enjoy your company because you are confident and have a positive outlook on life.
Birth order influences your relationship with your parents, siblings (if you have them) and how you ultimately learn to interact with the world. It can provide an insightful way to better understand your approach to friendships, romance, and how you meet life's challenges.
