“There is nothing noble about being superior to some other person. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self. If you want to improve your life and live with all that you deserve you must run your own race. It doesn’t matter what other people say about you. What is important is what you say to yourself. Do not be concerned with the judgement of others as long as you know what you are doing is right. You can do whatever you want to do as long as it is correct according to your conscience and your heart. Never be ashamed of doing that which is right; decide on what you think is good and then stick to it. Never get into the petty habit of measuring your self-worth against other people’s net worth. Every second you spend thinking about someone’s dreams you take time away from your own.”

Alan, trust me if you shift to CCL as a Station Manager, you could earn more & write more with less shit around. I was not handpicked by our local bosses for my present appointment, the French whom I was seconded with wrote to the mgmt about my contribution & dedication to the operation during my 3yrs attachment. The French took 3yrs to assess & upgrade me (recommend). But it takes 2 decades for the local bosses to see. I am a pro business person not a pro-management one.
Datuk,
Assalammualaikum !
Nasib Baik !
Syukur Alhamdulilah !
Inshallah !
I see you prosper under those French FTs. You are doing well by the grace of God. You have been telling me this 10 yrs ago! My reply is always the same.
No worry, I will look for you in the event I get the sack. In the meantime, I stay put lah. Those gods still tolerate my nonsense lah!
No need to beg for a job yet.
Thank you for dropping by old fren.
thanks for sharing, my fellow singaporean…
Pls don’t mention it. It’s my pleasure to voice out my inner feelings. We are all Singaporeans. Singapore belongs to all of us irrespective of your political affiliation! We all wish Singapore well for our parents’ and children’s sake.
Majullah Singapura!
Hello Gintai,
I chanced across your blog while researching the ground sentiment (in forums, blogs) about the wage situation of employees such as you and I and that of your colleagues. Could we talk? If you could drop me a line via email, I could share with you more of the reason I’m getting in touch with you.
Hope you’ll respond soon.
Thank you!
Hi,
Thks for reading my blog. I’m rather publicity shy. I prefer to keep a low profile leading an innocuous routine simple life. Sorry to disappoint you.
Dear Gintai,
Thank you very much! Finally I get to read a bit about how trains are running in my Homeland. I’m currently employed also by a railway company, a real railway company moving passengers at high & low speeds as well as freight. I do understand your joy & frustration at work & I want to get to understand it better & in deeper detail.
Of course there’re differences in the SOPs of your employer & of my employer, but the basic tasks is to get freight or people from origin to destination, safe & profitable. I hope you will contact me & when I visit my Homeland, I’d like to meet you in person! I’m sure a lot has changed since my last visit. I also invite you anytime to visit where I am now for a genuine “rail holiday”!
Kind Regards
Thank you for dropping by. Hope to see you one day. Cheers.
