i have concluded that i missed a great opportunity at this eye-fo. if i had been more friendly, if i had been more sociable, if i had taken the effort to move out of my comfort zone and engage with people, i would have met many more friends than i have. but i am thankful for those whom i have met. i think that i am comparing myself again to those who are better than me in this specific area, but i suppose one should always try to improve himself.
for what its worth, i guess that i'm happy with what i contributed to this event. i wasn't one of the main planners, although i helped out abit here and there. i wasn't one of the main person-in-charges on the ground, but i helped out where i could, and when no one else was available.
thats what i love to do, it seems. to help to do the simple things, the tasks away from the spotlight, where i can remain unnoticed, to find joy in completing my own work which i have set for myself, and where i don't have to relate to people as much. and it's a good thing, i suppose.
i came across a verse today, which would have helped me cope with the events of last saturday morning.
Ecc 10:4 - If a ruler's anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great errors to rest.
thankfully, i was not the person in charge that morning. older, cooler, wiser heads prescribed calmness, and i submitted, and the matter was resolved. it is a principle that holds true in many situations - resolutions can often be found if you choose not to lose your temper.
another interesting verse for you lot - Ecc 7:10
