Today is the fourth day of the Lunar Chinese New Year. After 2 days of public holiday, we went back to work on Friday. I was surprised to learn that both of my colleagues are on leave. I was still rushing for the tender. There were a lot of stress from there as we were expected to write a lot more than previous.
The promotion list for the year was out. One of my colleagues from my department was promoted. I am happy for her. I think that she worked hard enough and truly deserve it.
In the past, i would have thought that why I would not get that promotion. These days, my priority is different. Having that additional corporate title does not make me more of a person than I am already was. As such, I could now congratulate my colleagues in a more wholeheartedly matter compare to the past when I am doing it for the sake of doing it.
In the picture as promised, this is the ATM red packet that I am taking about with the money coming out of the machine. It is a pity that I could not post more pictures here or I could upload a video or I could give you the whole experience.

Yes what becomes more important when we are faced with survival is just each day lived.

Congratulations to your colleague. As I got closer to retirement, I stopped worrying about promotions and just enjoyed my work, my family and my friends.
