Be Proactive

Have been to some of the famous hawker centre recently, like Tiong Bahru and People's Park. Usually these places are frequent by a lot of people. And because of the traffic they attract, usually the tables are not cleared that fast, especially those people who are willing to do such jobs for long term subsistence are the elderly.

I notice something whenever I was at these places, the people who are going there to eat, will always wait for someone to come and clear the tables, no matter how long it would be. If not they will try to locate the cleaners and ask them to come and clear the tables. And if they cannot find one or there is no cleaners willing to come over immediately on their request. They try to seek a cleaner table or wait.

Now the thing is what is wrong with taking the initiative to clear the tables yourself?? Too dirty? Well better than sitting down there and do nothing abt it? Just clear the table yourself and you have a 'clean' table to eat from. Beats eating at a table that is cluttered or waiting there and do nothing. It cannot be too dirty lah, just grab tissue paper and start wiping lor. One pack of tissue paper cost only 30 cents at the most, compare to 10 mins of your precious lunch time, u weigh the cost lah.

Take initiatives to bring positive changes to your life. Be proactive and keep on improving the situation you are in, change things that you can change and leave those thing that you cannot control, to people who can control it, and make plans for their different decision. So at least you are not too reactive to people's decision.

Cheers!
