MY TWO CENTS ON 2024

Manage your expectations. If you don’t know, say you don’t know. Those are the 2 main takeaways I had from the year. One was from a close friend, the other from someone on the internet.

It was a transitional year, moving back to school routine and re-learning social skills. Nonetheless there were many firsts, and memories that were made. 2024 holds the highest karaoke count for me in a year.

Communication is still an issue for me, but I think I finally understand why. I need to learn how to be more tactful, then I will be more willing to put myself out there knowing that I may get a response that I want.

Usually I like to do things my way. Shoot first, ask later. Do first, apologise later. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission is a mindset I’ve been wanting to transition out of. There are many opportunities to work as a team coming my way, and I hope to be an asset, less of a liability.

One thing I’ve learnt is that questions are always welcomed. If think you know, you don’t. And as such, treat others the same as well. If you think they know, they might not. So don’t assume. That way, there will be less hiccups and more room to exceed your expectations.

Thank you for sticking around, you know who you are. And thank you to the many new people I’ve met, even in fleeting. Cheers to a new year ahead.

Peace.
