as expected, i had one hell of a boring training on business correspondence (in other words, grammar and writing) this week. my mind spinned when i would hear earsplitting statements like "the boy walk his dog," "the girl didn't studied for the exam," "he has rode on her bike" and "she did not provide insufficient evidence." is subject-verb agreement too tough? is redundancy as unavoidable as the heavy traffic around metro manila? weren't we asked to memorize the past participle forms of irregular verbs in grade school? weren't we taught to rephrase statements with double negation? and so i was extremely bored. the trainer told me i shouldn't have been there in the first place. unfortunately, everyone in our company is required to attend that training like the advance speech course. i know our company has budget for that, but wouldn't it be more practical to conduct an aptitude test first and exempt all those who would pass to cut down costs? however, i learned something worthy. the trainer told us that whenever we write something to a person, we should think first if we could say it directly to him or her. true! why hide behind written words? i think this is similar to gossiping and backbiting. if one really means what he or she has in mind, why not say it out loud? as how the trainer put it, "that's cowardice... and courage is more appreciated." i am paranoid. i even had a reputation of being such in high school. well, actually it's not really paranoia. i know many will agree that sometimes a person can really sense that people are talking behind his or her back. in my case, i can certainly sense it, and i've proven it most of the time. i know it's been a while that some people are talking behind my back. worse, i know that they have been bad-mouthing me. i pity them because they don't have enough self-esteem to confront me. are they cowards? i dunno, but by the way they are acting, it seems that they are indeed. i am sad. i know that i am misconstrued by those people. is it because i am very vocal of my thoughts? is it because i am a brat? is it because of...? (i'd rather not say because those people might misinterpret it again and only a few people would understand where that question is coming from.) but it's the way i am. it's the way i was brought up. at least i am being myself, and not being pretentious. it's so ironic that no matter how some people have so much similarities, they're differences would still emerge. |
