A lesson learnt :P

I learnt a lesson during work y'day.

Never trust ppl. It may seem a simple statement and probably everyone knows. Its not that I'm stupid and dunno. But to ppl who really know me, u shld know that I never calculate against anyone, I ll never try to harm anyone and I treat ppl with sincererity.

But this does not work in office. In office, I said something, which is not to colleagues but to others over the phone. However somehow, some ppl heard something and in the end, boss heard something. He called me into his rm, and told me nicely, that i must to be tactful and careful. Some things must not be said in office. He said in a nice way and I m happy with this, coz Boss is really nice to teach me. What i m unhappy is how ppl can backstab u. Yeah, i got lotsa reminders that i must be wary. Hence first two wks, i m careful and do not speak unless its work. But now i let down my guard, coz ppl are nice to me, and i do not wanna put on a front. It clearly does not work.

They do not bother whether u treat them nicely, they only care if u pose a threat to them. Frankly, i do not wanna fight with them, theres not need to do so in a company. I respect their experience in their work and wanna learn from them. But humans' minds are fascinating, they can turn simple things to complicated problems.

Never mind. I do not wanna know who told boss wat, or what exactly they say to him. In fact, i wanna thank these ppl, they made me realize that I have to learn to play politics, play mind games with ppl. I m sorry, i cannot focus 100% on work now, only 95%, coz 5% is to play mind games with ppl. Work is never hard for me, its ppl's mouth that i cannot fathom. TO ppl who love me (my family and some frens), I ll not be a kid anymore. I cannot be one, I must learn to be strong and to be a scheming person in some areas.

The Evelyn of yesterday is dead.
