Updates 5.0

Probation will be over tomorrow, marking three months in my first job. W came to the snack shelf and suddenly said "Let's talk.". "Me?". "Yes, you haha." Almost peed my pants wondering what was up, but aha it was just evaluation.

Nevertheless, it shed light onto my progress thus far. Average, nothing spectacular.
1. Reminder to myself to be more detailed - check, corroborate, check again.
2. Proactiveness and be open to asking and following up with questions. I have this fear of looking stupid, but honestly, the stupid one is the one who doesn't ask questions. Really need to overcome this fear of getting scolded.
3. Taking charge, taking ownership, being more confident. W said its okay to ask or chase senior guys to get their job done. I should also be more sociable, asking for updates on tasks / following up on things such that there are updates!!!

In my spare time, W also said that I should read up on GSF if I really wanna do this long term cos this would set myself apart from others. He also encouraged me to look outside of where I am at front office roles - which I felt was the making of a good boss - i.e. wanting the best growth in employees.

Sad thing is there aren't many GTPs out there, but then again I think know that God has put me with W for a purpose, and it's essential for my growth. So as much as I worry for the future, I know who holds my tomorrow. :)
