And the morals of the story is....?

A lawyer shared a story during break time today (we had a talk of legal issues in nursing). I find the moral of the story really interesting and I wanted to share this with everyone ^^

Here goes the version that I remember:

A bird is flying through in the midst of a very cold weather. It grew so cold that the bird froze and fell onto an open field. The bird laid there as it was too cold to move.
Then a cow passed by and shitted on the bird. The bird was trapped in the middle of the cow dung. Soon, the warmth of the shit thawed the bird. Feeling warm and cozy, the bird regains its strength and began to chirp happily.
The song of the happy bird grew louder and merrier. A cat noticed it and stepped up to the pile of shit. The cat dug into the pile of shit, found the bird and ate it.

The morals of the story is:
1. The one who shits on you is not always your enemy.
2. The one who pulls you out the the shit is not always your friend.
3. When you're in deep shit, shut your big mouth up.

Heh heh heh....

It all comes down to English

Things are not getting any easier... I just feel like everything (well, almost) are on my shoulders. All assignments rushing in at the same time. I'm trying my best to finish them according to their priorities but the workload is still there.

Then there is the big problem: English. All our assignments are to be in English. My members, they can write in English but -- well.. you get the idea. So every single assignments have to go through me. Can anyone imagine how I feel??? If their English is acceptable and its only a few grammar mistakes here and there, I'm fine with it but I find myself deleting paragraphs and re-doing the whole thing! Gosh.. I really need to be stronger, tougher and more patient...

Ha! I just received a copy of the assignments that I'll need to edit. At first, there was suppose to be a meeting to settle this thing but apparently the girls in-charge said they want to rest for tonight so they just pass me the copy. Their intentions? At least the one that passed the copy to me was apologetic. Who is there to blame but myself when my English is the best in this group?? *tongues out* Hehehe...

Anyway, fwighting~ acha-acha!! ^^

Me? A leader??

Out of a total of 39 girls in my batch, I am one of the 4 who had been chosen to lead one of the 4 research and management groups.. This position is being given by the tutor in-charge of our Semester. I gotta say that I'm honoured that I am among the 4 being elected, out of 39..

It's been almost 4 weeks now that I'd been "leading" a group of 10 girls of my own batch. I have to admit that it is no easy task as our project carries great deal of stress and responsibility.. Being the leader, I get to feel it more than the rest. Though I cannot take all the credits of leading as I have 3 co-leaders who are helping me out :)

I still can't imagine what did our tutor saw in me that she chose me to be one of the leaders. I mean, there are really quite a few of my group members that could be good leaders as well! Even the other tutor mentioned that why didn't this particular girl got chosen to lead anything? Well.. I guess I'll never know unless I ask my tutor in-charge myself!

All in all, I pray that God would grant me the strength to hold on and carry the responsibilities given to me. Thank you, Lord. Amen :)
