My Jigsaw Life

I blogged about our jigsaw project yesterday. It's still partially done...many pieces to go but we're adamant to complete this mission that we had started on.

Talking about jigsaw....I would like to associate it with our everyday lives.

Let me tell you a story.

It would definitely take ages for John to accomplish a single picture if he assembles the 10,000 pieces giant puzzle individually....one by one.

However, if John could see, visualise and imagine the total picture of the jigsaw, he's will surely know exactly what he's building. Then, the task would be much easier and simpler ....fitting each puzzle into place.

Reality....
Just take a look at me. Day in day out, I used to fret about my 'hardship' of undergoing my studies....the sufferings I had to endure as a part time student....juggling between my teaching responsibilities as well as my other commitments esp as a provider to my child.

I faced the hardship probably because......

I started off fixing the jigsaw one by one. I spent long hours working on it without a proper goal. At the end of the day, I get pretty stressed up and began to blame everything ......

Four long years
rushing to accomplish...assignments after assignments,
never ending examinations...
sacrificing weekends ..attending long tutorials....and the list goes on


Now

If I turn the table the other way....and try to visualise the fruit of my labour...I would probably be much happier.
Picturing myself...in robe and mortar board walking up the stage receiving my scroll....on my graduation day...And most importantly...getting my DG41 in 2011....

With a potrait of success..., then most probably, I would not feel so much stress as I am am now.

I need to set my goals. Scribble on papers and paste them all over my house...so that I could see and visualised them everyday.

What say you..?

Opps...I'm supposed to do my very much needed revision but instead I'm blogging "rubbish" over here.
