It was on Monday. I'm feeling no different from most workers out there that thinks the beginning day of the week, is the worst. It's blue, devastating, exhausted, engine turns rusty - you name it. The most heart-aching part is to see the pile of workload, besides your employer face, that you've kept before the weekend begins due to out of excitement & anxiety for the activities instore for you.
Oh well, there i was looking hagard, sloppy on my dressing & total-ly unmotivated. Oh ya, most of the times i would have lack of sleep the nite before Monday. That day was worst; i had only 3 hours of sleep before work. Poor me. Anyway, while i was staring blankly on my computer screen waiting for my computer to start, my mentor that sits directly behind me - Madam Poon, tapped me from the back.
"Eh, that time you said you want the table cover right?"
"Ya . . ." I replied while focusing the thing she carried along with her.
"Nah, here's for you" She said, smiling.
I was flabbergasted for a moment. I have always wanted the thick acrylic table cover that she has on her personal desk. I thank her so much & placed it vertically against the wall, on top of my desk. It is about 2 metres long with a width of 1 metre. The purpose of the transparent plastic cover is actually to protect the office desk from scratches or stains. However, i've got other subtle motives to it. I've decided to use it as a partition thus other staffs wouldnt realized if i'm dozing off. I don't care if any of them caught me sleeping as long as not dozing off. I just look ridiculous & pathetic when i dozed off. Well, who doesnt.
As i was staring motionless at the hard-plastic, a thought came into my mind; Since i'm using it as a partition, i might as well make full use of it. I began to visualize the stuffs i would attached to it. Creativity started to spread in my mind like an ink drop that fall upon a bowl of plain water. After loads ideas created in my mind, i snapped myself back into the reality. There's where i received the enlightenment.
I began to realize that i have not been appriciating life so far. I did not put my family as a priority after all these years, i did not focus much on the important things, like my work & studies, that i am juggling presently, and i did not make good use of the time i have to improve & upgrade myself. At the same time, i began to feel that the things i need in life is just right infront of my eyes and it is just the matter of - Do i want to make it happen?
Honestly, i do not know what the old plastic table cover got to do with this enlightenment. It is not as if i took time to do self-reflection and got the thoughts above, the thoughts of enlightenment just striked me as soon i stopped my visualization. I'm wondering, could there be a physcological explaination for this? Or the whole thing was just coincidence that the enlightenment just hit me out of the blue? What i'm sure of is that this enlightenments have been send from above.
