I’m BACK! (haha) I was not writing for past two months because of my assignment submissions and exams. Now that I am on my semester holidays, I would like to write about some of the things that I have experienced in these past two months. Talking about the things that I have learnt, I did not expect to learn so many lessons and I just can’t wait to share my experiences here.
But I started writing this blog today to show my appreciation to a woman whom I have so much of respect for.
Well before I go further, why and what is appreciation???
"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step forward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation” – Brian Tracy
People tend to willingly follow others who make them feel good about themselves. It sounds so simple, yet the expression of sincere gratitude is rare. It is simply yet not so easy and frequently not considered important to convey the real appreciation you have for someone. Appreciation is needed more than any kind of personal dignity. Too many people and things in our lives are taken for granted. As we grow older and put pieces of our lives together, we sometimes tend to overlook the underlying importance of certain things and certain people in our lives. But when we get to the stage where we realize that life is not what we imagined it to be; we will make it how we want it to be. We get so caught up in the negative situations that we find ourselves not appreciating the more positive aspects of our lives. If we do not make the conscious effort to appreciate what we have, it is often all too easy to focus on what we do not have and that can turn into a sense of self-complacency rather than a feeling of self – empowerment.
There’s always something or someone to show appreciation to. We have our families to appreciate; we have strangers who help us. We can do it so by voicing sincere compliments, taking the time to write a note and honestly showing our delight so others feel special. It also helps us to realize what we have, and to be grateful for the opportunities and blessings. Furthermore, saying ‘thank you’ is a display of appreciation for something someone gave you or did for you. This act would make the receiver of the ‘thank you’ feel appreciated, and make you feel happy.
So I am here to thank a woman who has been helping me, or to be more accurate, guiding me in my personal growth and also my business career. Her name is Rammyashieny. She is the founder of ‘Clicking Pen’ (her company’s name)( www.clickingpens.com). She produces corporate videos and hosts ET youth.(https://www.facebook.com/ETYouth/?fref=ts&ref=br_tf) It is a talk where they aim to empower today’s youth to find their passion and be the best that they can be through the guidance of the Elango Thiyagu. He is my mentor.(http://elangothiyagu.com)
To be honest when I started attending ET youth, I was not so consistence as my subconscious tried its best to make me stay away from the new environment that I was about to embark on. She sent me invites every week and texted to know why I was absent for that week’s talk. Not only that, almost every week she used to arrange transport for me to go back home after ET youth. I respected her consistency and willingly wanted to know about what is going on in that new environment. She gave me the opportunity to talk to my mentor. The things that he explained were different and somehow it interested me. As my mentor started teaching me, she was also there to explain things a bit clearer and she would give her own life experiences. So the more I opened up, told her what I want, what is happening around me, the more she shared her experiences to me. She is a very young woman and it is not easy for her to get where she is now.
She would always make sure that I am okay ( mentally and emotionally) I receive texts asking “Are you okay Thiviya?” And this continues until today. I was a stranger to her when I first met her. But what made her care for me so much? During the ET Ideas meeting, (http://et-ideas.com/) and ET youth, she would willingly spend some time to listen to my updates and stories. I also made sure to travel all the way from Kelana Jaya to Bukit Jalil just to meet her, work with her. I think I even have told her that it is a good feeling to be around and learning things from her. Also her experiences are similar to what I am going through.
Fortunately what my heart wants is similar to what she has been doing. So that gave me the platform to talk to her every week and she helped me to figure out what course to choose for my degree. She also guides me in my college life since she was also a college student before. Talking about my personal growth, the only person I talk to other than my mentor is she. My mentor also encourages me to share with her and spend more time with her since we have similar goals. Spending my days with her, I am learning so many things.
Whenever I go off track she would be there to put me back onto the track and explain why and how things went wrong. She keeps things up-to-date on what is happening to me, my exams, assignments, situations with my family. I would like to thank her for all the guidance and encouragement she gives me even until this present moment..
Lastly, thank you for everything! This is one of my lessons that I want to share. Because during the past two months when I was more focused on my college assignments, she simply guided me on how to manage my things; having both assignments and work. I am very lucky to have her around me. I face amples of obstacles lots of times and the good things I see are there are people who guiding and helping me throughout my journey. Also not forgetting my mentor who always there to teach me. THANK YOU!
