Last day in Cargo ):

So today marks the final day for Phase 1. It's my last day in Cargo, and truly it's a little bittersweet for me. I've grown to like the environment and culture here. The people are very nice and forgiving, helping you to grow as a newbie, instead of trying to shut down your chances of promotion. On top of that, interaction with my bosses also allowed me to grow inside and outside. Inside, I feel that I have matured a lot in my thinking and reasoning. Outside, the way I handle people and things are also vastly different from last time. Overall, I would believe that it is a positive change.

One thing that comes with change is the ability to accept and adapt. Moving into my late-twenties, it is important that we appreciate the changes in our surroundings and assimilate into them. I shall call it the 4 As to combat change - accept, adapt, appreciate, assimilate.

Someone once told me, "It is childish to be using vulgarities." However, I do not agree with that completely. Having started work myself, vulgarities are more prominent than in school. We should grow to understand them, and not shut them out completely and force ourselves back into schooling days. In my opinion, by not accepting vulgarities, you are actually being the childish one, being the one sheltered from all the weathering and onslaught.

Changes happen anywhere and anytime, and it is up to you to decide how you are going to react to it. An egg hardens in hot water, while a carrot softens in hot water.
