Intimidated

Have you ever felt intimidated by someone? Even with his/her "virtual" existence, you'll feel some kind of anxiety. That's exactly what i feel this past few months. *i guess someone called Panda already knew where this "curcol" will flowing ;p*

OK. Imagine you work with someone who is OUTSTANDING. Nobody would doubt his/her ability in tackling almost EVERYTHING. What would you possibly feel as that person's subordinate? Happy? Because he/she will take over everything and finish the whole thing flawlessly? *D.A.N.G* i don't think so. Contrary, you'll feel  BURDENED. INTIMIDATED. DEPRESSED (*unless you're extraordinarily happy-go-lucky person).

It's not about that person outshines you or better than you in your work field. Indeed, he/she is, without question. But it's about how on earth he/she doing this kind of mental-damaging action without even realize it ???!!! Well, let say that i've conducted a small-tiny-unimportant research about this matter. I'll say his/her unawareness is caused by this things :

1. He/she is also burdened by something (*responsibility-whatsoever) or someone, thus he/she will try his/her best to boost performances (individually) in order to chase away his/her own burden.

2. He/she is in the dark about his/her subordinate abilities, hence he/she will keep moving forward without looking back nor helping out the poor-subordinate.

3. He/she is setting the standard too high, aside from his/her subordinate capabilities (*almost the same with point no.2, but this one is more likely to be done consciously).

Alas, the what so-called intimidated feeling is emerged.

Up until now, i still feel it. Honestly, the feeling is getting worse. *deep sigh*
I just hope that i can get through everything immediately. Laa haula walaa quwwata illaa billaahil'aliyyil'adzhim....

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Mutti



Every day since I was born, My mother cared for me.
Now that’s a lot of caring, As anyone can see.
Please, Lord, protect my mother, And keep her safe from harm,
For she is a cherished person, With great wisdom, love and charm
Lord, it’s my mother’s birthday
So please, help her to see How much she means to us, Her loving family.
 (Karl Fuchs)

Mom, without you, there would be no me.
Your love, your attention, your guidance, have made me who I am.
Without you, I would be lost, wandering aimlessly, without direction or purpose.
You showed me the way to serve, to accomplish, to persevere.
Without you, there would be an empty space
I could never fill, no matter how I tried.
Instead, because of you, I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Thank you, mom. I have always loved you and I always will.
(Joanna Fuchs)

*Post Scriptum : my mother has TWO BIRTHDAY(s). One is real and the other is fake. My brother and sisters often get confused with her dual-birthday ;p. Like before, i finally can call my brother and he just relaxingly replied "Mama's birthday is on July 7th, Ngek. How come you forgot her birthday???". Aigooo...he proudly said that. See? My mother's fake birthday is way more well-known than her real one. 
Oh, i almost forget to tell how on earth that she can get the fake birthday. The answer is when she tried to apply for her ID card, the officer was mistakenly read her "1" as "7". "1" refers to January and "7" refers to July. Therefore, on my mother's ID card, her birthday is written July 7th instead of January 7th. Xixixi...
