i have a concern

i remember reading “go put your strenghts to work” as a requirement in my previous job.  not really a requirement but an encouraged reading.  as if there is a difference.  anyway, there are two things that i remember from this book:

1.  the book refers to something that is unclear or something that causes you to have doubts as a yellow light. 

2. when you are faced with a yellow light, don’t hesitate to say “i have a concern”.

ever since i’ve read that book, i always use “i have a concern” as a start of my dialogue when i am approaching someone about an issue or when i want to ask something or when i want to drive at a point without being direct.  

now, i find myself surrounded by yellow lights.  there is hesitation.  there is that urong sulong moment.  having moments of doubt is of course natural however, what i hate about it is the lack of an mmda so to say.  i am frustrated that there is no reliable authority whose wisdom i can trust and whose decisions i can depend on.  something has to change.  there must be someone who has balls to make decisions, stand by the decisions, and have confidence to say ‘sagot ko yan”. 

unfortunately, there is an mmda.  but the mmda is falling short of the expectations.  and it is just unacceptable.  sana wala na lang mmda di ba kung wala naman palang maitutulong.

there are times that i feel frustrated about the situation i am in.  i have never been a passenger in a car driven by an inexperienced driver.  i guess there is a first time for everything.  maybe, i should be optimistic about it and see things from a different perspective.  i should try to view the situation as an opportunity instead of focusing on how bulok things are.
