On Adapting and Being the Best You Can Be

While I was away on a long Raya holiday (sans internet connection), I had an overdose of Worlds Apart and National Geographic documentaries. One of my brothers is into sitcoms, the other into war movies and documentaries, my mom chooses Malay dramas/movies and I'm into CSI, NCIS, Monk and the likes.

The compromise was either Worlds Apart or National Geographic documentaries - Mega builders, tornado chasers, pyramids and tombs, etc.

There are many things we can learn from these shows. One of them, there are many fields in Science other than medic, medic and medic. One very important value is to be passionate about the things you do and be the best you can be in your field. You'll get the satisfaction and the recognition from your effort. It gives me the motivation to be the best in my field :) Beware job, here I come hehehehe...

In Worlds Apart, people can adapt and grow to love their new surroundings. Maybe because they know they have luxury at home to return to and wouldn't feel the same if they're stuck there indefinitely. But it doesn't matter if they're in Timbuktu or deep in Borneo jungle, the reaction is similar when it's time to leave. The love developed between the two diverse groups of people, with different culture and background, is very heartwarming.

I was just like in Worlds Apart too hehehe... I learnt to live without internet connection but now that I'm back, I'm enjoying the ability to have information at my fingertips, not to mention blogging, email and instant messaging :D
