Who You Are?

I met a couple who were both government officers. They are from the PTD scheme. I was quite taken a bit when the wife straight away told me that she was a PTD officer, when I don't really want to be that specific. I didn't tell them who I am cause I don't need see the need to. I just tell them where I work and once he (the husband) told me that he once work at the KPTG office of Penang, I straight away mention a few names that is in my batch indirectly told them who I am.

Why? Cause, what you do for a living should have made you into an active member of the society not a mare no one. you are chosen by the government to be among the finest among the selected few. But here are you being no one. I'm not saying that I was an outstanding member of society but at least I can write down that I am active member of a committee that is not in a certain government body.

Really, it saddens me sometimes when thinking that PTDs are selected to become leaders but as soon as they return home from work, they isolates themselves from society and become nobody outsides of the office. Again, I stress that it doesn't mean that I am expecting we become a President of any society but an active contributing member. Prove it to the people that had chosen you that you are the leader type not some dorky I just following orders kind of type.

Eventhou it is true PTDs are managers but still again PTDs are selected because of their leadership potentials. What better way to enhance it by becoming a leader outside of your position of power?

What is the point of this ranting? I am saying that you should be ashamed of you job if you are not an active contributor to the society outside of your office. If all of that bravado at the office are because of your position and not because of your charisma. In other words JPA had made a mistake for taking you in.
