Today I felt a bit weird at work. It all started when someone kind of stole my creativeness and proudly said it in front of everyone in an open space office. I was just there... Sitting and saying bad words inside my head. Who would not feel bad about having your idea stolen by someone else? Then I remember the talks about such kind of people -- they always tend to steal someone's idea and make it their own. If you teach them a process about your work, they will become an expert on it the next day. It was fine, really, to just let that person speak without crediting me but it made me realize some things -- I need to step up my game. I want to challenge myself to not be shy to everyone else and, as what my boss said, to open my mouth. She meant that I should keep on talking and talking and talking. In other words, she wants me to be confident and erase the shyness in me.
Well, okay. Challenge accepted. Given the fact that someone is stupid enough to do such thing, I think I need to step up my game. Not just work-wise but in everything. Build a confidence. A much more high confidence than what I have now.
Don't let anyone step on you & steal something from your intelligent mind, you smart kid!

Past Me
