I am blessed for a good memory, that I could memorize things quickly for a long time. This may explain why I remember most of people birthday I know. Growing up that way, I used to think it as norm. I used to wonder a lot why people can’t memorize small piece of info (really, how?!) . With that gift, I am often known as someone who know-it-all in the family, at work. Times passed, subconsciously I gave myself a pressure to know all. If you ask something and I do not know, I have to drop thing I was doing at the time to immediately search 🔦 In the daily job as a consultant, I told myself that I need to “know it all” so parents/ clients would have more trusts on me. Consequently, if parents asked thing I don’t know I am easy to be panicking. . One of the best lesson of age 32 came after 90 mins consultant, I felt stupid of not answering twisted questions from clients. Co-worker pointed out to make me reckon no matter how hard you try, you can not know all. No matter how good at calculating risks, you can not well planned all the time. Once the mind set shifts, all of sudden it gives me the clarity. The willingness to go with the flow, the courage to admit “Yes fuck it, I do not know”. . After all, we all come to this life with our own lesson 🙂
