It seems amusing I was asked this question during my appraisal session yesterday. My first answer was even more funny come to think about it
'Life has no meaning in essence. We constantly try to find meaning which gives us the impetus to work towards it. Once we reach the goal, we seek new meanings to work towards to and it becomes a lifelong cycle. It's a never ending cycle and hence life has no meaning' 'u are selfish, commented my grp head.....'
I wonder , have I been too selfish all along or is it that I have been simply just too selfless to the point that I'm juz sick of being it?
Anw as the conversation drifted on, I do happen to have 2 answers to that qn. Each and everyone of our purpose in life is simply to be able to make a difference/impact in other people's life. And that the difference/impact that we bring across is acknowledgement and recognition by others.
This brings back to what kind of impact do I seek in my life and what recognition do I seek in return. Whether is it career, love or family. Im always ok with being the silent worker in the team, preferring not to be in the limelight. But I guess subconsciously I do want to be recognize for what the work That I have put in, the work that I have done. Come to think abt it, probably that lies the source of my frequent frustrations in life. It's not worth it. It's not appreciated......
How does one continue to grow in terms in breath and depth as a person? By constantly being exposed through seeking new challenges. I do have some kind of idea as to how do I shape my career path and yea I realize that I need to be expose outside to what the dept can provide.
