Celebrating Nature

Have you ever thought about the idea of what you would do if you are selected for a position you never imagined. Would you scream at the top of your voice, or would you cover your face with tears of joy, or just go flabbergasted about it and seek for fresh air because you feel you are choking from too much anxiety? What ever you do, definitely you’ll feel like…I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO?

After a sudden phone call from New Zealand announcing me as the next MC 07/08, the expectation and reaction was not short of any above.

So I decide to take this trip away from the office and the MC flat, away from the hustle and bustle of Jakarta main city and its traffics and pollution, to the very far east of it, to this place called Karawaci. First expectation was; what will I be doing in this completely new and strange place to my knowledge, even though I am exposed to many new locations daily through my company meetings and visits to different events.

I thought maybe I’ll just stay in my room in the 60-story-apartment that’s got one of the best views you can imagine, or simply decide to spend most of the time at the internet café or ah! Go round on site-seeing of the beauty of this place, entirely different from what you get to see in Jakarta. With lots that reminds you of nature and its gifts to human kind.

By the way, the main objective of my decision to take this trip was just to reflect on the new MC position in New Zealand and think of my next moves before final departure in end of May. It was also for me to reflect on how to break the news to my beloved ones in Nigeria and as well, do some expectation setting on how to ensure that I well know the LCs, specifically the current LCPs, potential LCP elects and other EBs. So this was all about reflecting on strategies to do all of these. In short, it was all about setting plans and expectations for my to-be new role in New Zealand.

So the final decision taking and it was to do some site seeing. As a lover of nature and in a place that provides the freshest of breeze to be felt in Jakarta and with other natural sceneries, I’ll say, my final decision made was the very best to have been made at this time.

Why I put this experience in my blog is because, for me, certain things that people take for granted are actually as important as the most important things they feel are important to them. Not every one believes in Nature or the natural, but for me, I count it as a way to celebrate any new success achieved, more like giving back to nature through celebrating it. And that’s what I’m doing now

Think about it.
